I love cooking with Chinese herbs. They have a very distinct flavour which most people here in UK are unfamiliar with. So they are good for impressing the 'westerners' with my 'exotic' Asian cooking.
To be honest, I didn't really cook much when I was in Singapore. I made up most of the recipes that I cook here. So they probably aren't authentic. But nevertheless, my British friends are impressed (or out of politeness they act so).
My mum used to cook this quite often when I was in Singapore. It's really easy to make. She would cook a huge pot of it, and the leftovers would taste especially good on the next day.
