fatbobo EYS very ex and the staff is not as experience as those old tradition chinese medical hall. That day I no time to go to my regular store so I drop by EYS to get some korea Ginseng, they dont hv the whole ginseng (which I usually buy cos whole ginseng cheaper) only slice one n very ex for the best grade.
Tiao body. I drink ba zen (with a additional ingredient to make it not heaty) once a week and the alternate week codyceps with baoseng. Now pregancy cannot drink ba zen so I will pass my left over packets to my mother. Good luck.

fatbobo,
Making tonic soup is very simple. Just put the herbs in the slow cook with pork ribs then add hot water n brew high for 3hrs. I brew for whole family to drink during weekend when my MIL is not at home (she doesnt like the herbal soup). Just set n go. If you know you are coming back later than 3 hrs then put to medium heat.
My hb and my maid love the family herbal soups. When you enter the house, you can smell the soup. During my confinement, I buy a lot of tonic cos this is the chance to "jia po" n wont feel heaty, luckily my confinement lady is experienced to cook everything for me.
Though I always frequent the same medical hall for years, you cant totally trust them. For example codyceps, you must see them grind to powder, dont leave the shop. I never trust ready made codycep powder. Even for pearl, I want to see the grade she gives me before I let her grind. If you dont know how to see, ask them to show you the lousy one to compare n explain to you why so ex for the higher grade. It's interesting to learn these herbs. There are fake herbs so be careful when you just started to patronize the shop.

sharon,
Tks for the link ... so many people buying from her! But i'm giving it to pple so thot i'd buy those from shops cos got nice packaging
bobo,
Agree with BB. It's very easy to cook tonic soup de. Just dump all the herbs in the slow cooker and 3 or 4 hrs later, it's done! Even for me who's sometimes lazy and doesn't know how to cook can do it
Normally i just buy those packet herbs from supermarket. And ya, when i was ttc for ovann, i made quite alot of such soups ... no need those 'complicated' types, just normal herbal chicken soup packet, or at most, the ba zen type.

fatbobo,
I've more than 5 boxes of EYS BFW at home ah. Though it's not as good as tonic soup, I just eat since I've a lot. One bottle per week. You join the member then every birthday you hv 20% off all items. Just stock up lor. The birdnest they limit to 6 half dozens for birthday girl but very good price, stock up lor! Hehehhe... I just stock up in Dec 2010. But birdnest must buy those from medical hall best grade during pregnancy n brew it. Those bottle ones are really for fun.

donkeymami,
Yup .. when u reached the other end of the underpass, there's a flight of stairs at the entrance. Unless u ask someone to help u carry the stroller, else use the traffic light like me. Er ... hope it doesn't rain lah ... like me, kena raining past few days. Luckily i have the plastic shield for prams.

donkeymami,
U are welcome
Mummies, when u cook for you kids now, do u add in seasoning? Sometimes i try not to put, but ovann's already eating outside food, which def contains seasoning and even msg. So now when i cook for him, i'll put in a little salt, soy sauce, pepper or sesame oil. And i'm using the Svenson's chicken broth i bought from ntuc to cook the soup too. Is it ok ah?

I use seasoning with my gal's food unless it's already tasty without. She shares our table food now so whatever we eat she eats.

pegs, i use seasoning, but very minimal (U see all my FB posts, its all like one drop of soya sauce (max 2) per portion of food kind)..
when we eat out, i'll try to remove as much sauce.. or if noodle soup, i'll further dilute with hot water..
its ok to introduce some flavour in, but in moderation i guess..
svenson stock. quite salty right? any msg?

for soup I don't add seasoning coz very tasty already. So she will just drink like us lor. If it's outside, I will limit. She's already asking for our drinks when we go out! She kept pointing and saying 'drink drink' and 'cold cold'. If we don't give, she kicks up a big fuss. So now we only order drinks after we finish eating.

mashy,
How come my soup not tasty?? Hahaha ... is it becos i dun cook long enough ah? I normally cook simple soup like abc soup and corn soup. It tastes a littly bland that's why i add in little salt just to taste.
Same leh .. my boy oso starting to want to drink our drinks but can't cos we are drinking coffee & tea mah.
piggy,
Why for steam eggs and fish u still need to add seasoning leh? I thot eggs are already quite flavourful with their own taste, no need to add anything. For me the only dishes that i dun add seasonings at all are eggs, cod fish, and salmon.

what do u add in your soup? Onions, tomatoes will make the soup sweet. Or maybe u add too much water and didn't boil long enough. Soups can be tasty without salt. If u use pork, diff parts will yield different level of sweetness too.

mashy:: which part of the pork will make the sweetest soup arh? hehe.
nwadays, i hfta accommodate my indo maid..so cant use pork to boil soup. using chicken bone + chicken feet doesnt really bring out the taste..sianz! smtimes i juz feel like using pork..n said simply tell her this soup she cant drink! hahaha.. evil! but actually my maid told us before she not so much a soup person..she will normally juz eat the stuffs inside.

pegs, my mum makes stock for shayna's food hor. Just chicken bones, onion,garlic, carrot, corn, potatoes, tomatoes and whatever else she can find to throw in and simmer in slow cooker..
Its so fragrant, and like what mashy says, will be tasty..
WHen u make stock/ soup, dont over boil it. Leave it at a simmer..

my confinement nanny says 'ba tau'. Think that is loin ribs. U can ask from market. The butchers will be able to tell u.
Pegsfur
for abc soup and corn soup, u can add onions and tomatoes. They make a big diff to your soup. U try it out. Some pp will just add onions.
For lotus roots soup, I will add honey dates and dried cuttlefish. So yes, not all soups use the same things to 'ti wei'.
