Lotus Root, Water Chestnut & Loquat Soup

After a long search, I managed to find this Loquat which is also called the “枇杷果“ in Chinese. This fruit is very good for Expels Heat from the Lungs, Eliminate Sputum and stop coughing due to Heat. It’s sort of difficult to get this fruit in Singapore due to Season problems. This taste of this soup is very smoothing, full of fragrant and is hard to describe. It’s a mixture of flavour with Lotus Roots, Pear, Water chestnut and Loquat. You had to try it out in order to understand how’s the taste like….. At first I still thought it should be sort of sweet soup…but to my surprised it’s not……..
