This version bears the same comforting flavours of the soups he used to enjoy with his family but using more premium ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each ingredient goes through a laborious, multi-step cooking process that makes sure each flavour is developed and infused into the broth. Australian 10-head abalone, eel fish maw, handmade prawn dumplings and minced pork meatballs are combined in a chicken broth that has been simmered for three hours.  Dried sole fish and white radish are also tossed in. The meatballs are made by mixing hand-minced pork belly, black moss, chopped red carrots as well as flour. The mixture is beaten till smooth before being shaped into bite-sized orbs to be steamed. The meatballs are then deep-fried to bring out its aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-credit-card-promotion-1\">Credit card promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Citi, DBS\/POSB, UOB, OCBC credit and debit card members enjoy 20% off till 4 Feb, and 15% off from 5-26 Feb.
