Sharks Fin Melon with Cordyceps Militaris 虫草花顿鱼翅瓜汤

One of my sons favourite soup is Sharks Fin Melon Soup and my daughters orange soup, Cordyceps Militaris Chicken Soup.



Here, I combine both their favourites. Cordyceps Militaris makes the soup extra fragrant and sweet. This is one of the few soups that they both like. Usually, when one of them like a certain soup, chances are, the other one hates it. =_=|||



You probably know what Im going to say next. "I have weird kids." :P
