Soup has been a part of life for the Chinese and it has played an important role in Chinese cuisine for a long long times.

My mother has never fail to make soup for me when i go to her house a culture which has pass on before i was born. Sometimes she is willing to spent the whole day cooking a pot of soup until we return home by using the traditional charcoal stove. I always agree by cooking this way the taste is more intense and flavourful.

In the culinary arena making good soup is a must but it is not good enough. We always need to explore new ingredients and technique to improve it. Not to forget the eating habits of the new generation is changing. Restaurant use to serve soup in a casserole for ten person still remain but some has start serving individual bowl and others has come in many ideas and presentation.

No matter what the changes are in the culinary arena, i feel the most comfort soup is still from my mom.

This dish require the freshness, right cooking time and is very exciting to eat. The delicate bass and the pan-seared Alaska crab claw work well together. Especially with the Singapore Chili crab sauce and cream of pumpkin sauce.

The combination produces a very robust taste, while the Pumpkin sauce give an extra creaminess

It is always not easy to make a fluffy sweet potato especially using the japan sweet purple potato.
The tendency is not able to get the sexy purple colour after fry.

After many experimenting, at last manage to get it right. Bravo!
