It has been quite a while since I last came up with a recipe post.
I have been craving for good quality boiled soup instead of those instanteous soups made with ikan bilis/chicken cubes.
Thus, I ordered this soup for lunch at the foodcourt but my tongue felt numb for the rest of the day due to MSG overdose.
I decided to make this soup myself so my family could benefit from the cooling properties of the soup.
Here are some benefits of Snow Pear:
- Stops coughing
- Expels heatiness
- Dissolves phlegm
- Good for respiratory ailments
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
Bon appetit!

Note:
- Pears are very cooling so those with "cooling constitution" should not eat too much.
- Apricot kernel (北杏) is said to be toxic in large amounts so take in moderation.
