Braised chicken wings in special sauce, blanched lady fingers and sauteed purple long beans and bitter gourd with roast pork. The purple long beans and bitter gourd were homegrown, from a relative's garden.
Double-boiled kombu seaweed soup with lean pork. This soup is mild in taste, yet bursting with nutrients.
Kombu is a nutritional powerhouse from the sea. It is a kind of sea cabbage. Even the texture is similar to cabbage.
Kombu is known for reducing blood cholesterol and hypertension. It is high in iodine, which is essential for thyroid functioning; iron, which helps carry oxygen to the cells; calcium, which builds bones and teeth; as well as vitamins A and C, which support eyes and immunity, respectively.
