Sea bream Milk Soup

Serves 4

As a students, me and some fellow friend flew to Singapore to attend a world event. I got in touch with one of my best friend and she accompanied me around town. It was nice to see her after a long while. The first time we met was in a sport day event. There was a marathon sprint activities so she challenge me a race. Ok, why not, I was very overweight at that time, what can I say there is always abundance of food at home and so many restaurant invitations. I kept on winning endurance wise and speed wise because I was very active in school athletics since junior high and competed for my school winning some trophies and medal that were kept in school. Since then we became best friend and her family became an extended family for me. So, for lunch she took me to one of her family’s’ favorite milk soup stalls and it was so delicious and since then I have never tasted any other stalls or restaurant that can make the taste come that close.

I looked up for some recipes and found some variations of preparations. At the end, this is what came close to the taste that I could recall from quite a while. It is suitable for cold days and very healthy too.
