 CS> Ick!  

You can still get these peanuts roasted in oil - until
recently I saw them in 1 oz packets in vending machines.
I think they taste pretty decent, though they are really
quite greasy.

We'll bear that in mind. No foie gras for you.

That's what I like, a classy dame.

Sweet Potato Soup (Fun Shee Tong Sui)
cat: dessert, soup, quaint
servings: 4

3 c water
1 ea brown sugar slab (for sweetness)
3 ea sweet potato
2 ea pandan leaves (for flavor)

Peel the skin off from the sweet potatoes and cut it
into bit-sized chunks. I tie a knot on the pandan leaves
so that I can easily remove it after the soup is cooked.

Drop a piece of brown sugar slab into a pot of boiling
water. I use three cups of water.

I then just pour everything into the pot and boil it for
15 min. That's it - sweet and simple.

I like Tong Sui which is the chinese sweet dessert soup.
There are many type of tong sui. Some takes a lot of
steps and others are very simple. The sweet potato soup
is very easy and fast to make - just took me 20 min.
Back in the days where I grew up in Malaysia, sweet
potato are basically eaten by poor people. I recall my
parents telling that during the second world war,
people survived on these stuff because it was easy to grow.
In Canada, sweet potatoes are referred to as yams.
