Pui See made a good menu decision with Hum Choy (Cantonese) or Kiam Chye (Hokkien) Soup with Tofu (咸菜豆腐汤). Can’t remember what it is labelled as in the menu. The main vegetable is salted, preserved, or pickled mustard greens.
It is a traditional Chinese soup and an assortment of ingredients were boiled together. It included pork, tomatoes, carrots and onions. The tomatoes enhance the already sourish taste. T̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶i̶s̶h̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶e̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶i̶n̶ ̶r̶i̶c̶e̶.̶
I’ll let PuiSee Chu describe the content if she is willing and can recall. I only took a sip. It is a childhood favourite of mine. Surprised and happy to see this in the quick bite U-Village Restaurant. Nevertheless, this is the quick boil type and not the normal home slow cooked version.
