Last Sunday, Uncle Bill and Aunty Rebecca took us to a fellowship session hosted by the Sathorn Church (Cantonese Church). It was held in the Liquid Bar and Cafe at the Siri Sathorn, where we listened to the testimonial from Mary, a full time church worker from Kunming, China, followed by a lunch buffet and Karaoke.
Aunty Macy, who organized the event, volunteered to help get our prescriptions filled at a trusted Chinese medicine hall. We bought a black chicken (Chinese Silkie) from Carrefour that evening, and the herbs arrived soon thereafter. The herbs were quite inexpensive, 140 Baht for 2 portions, although the black chicken turned out to be almost double the price of its regular cousin. Here is the finished product, after stewing with "slow fire" for a few hours, to reduce from the original 8 bowls of water to 6. Black Chicken Herbal Soup is suitable for men and women who have weak constitution and those who are suffering from “qi” and blood deficiencies. Elder Chan's prescription for Mommy turned out to be rich and sweet, without the usual bitter and medicinal taste of similar soups; I liked the meat, which was soft and tender, and went well with rice.

I had this only once... and can't say I liked it. :( TCM is usually spot-on when it comes to diagnoses, but I just can't stand the herbal concoctions.
Honestly, I had the same apprehensions. But maybe the herbs used were mild, and the soup turned out to be quite tasty ;-)
I love that your 'today' is so unlike what I experience here...it's so interesting to read about how people do things elsewhere. Glad the soup was tasty...looove chicken soup (black, herbal...or not ;D)
Happy Tuesday!
It was so fascinating to read this. I hope it helps you and you feel much better soon. Your culture is rich and intense. I love that!
Interesting take on your culture. One I may never experience. Thanks for the snapshot of your world.
what a cultural and healthy T post.
loved it absolutely...
Thanks for sharing your interesting experience.
I have been bringing my son to a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner here in NY for years. He has helped him stay strong and vibrant. I love TCM.
A marvelous and interesting post for the day, thank you for sharing it! I wish I could find a good TCM practitioner here! But I do go weekly to an acupuncturist and he does keep me moving. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Did you have black chicken soup for confinement? My friends did. I didn't for my first three as they were born in NEW ZEAland.
I had a confinement maid for my fourth, but I don't know why, she was so chingchai, she didn't cook much for me.
