thank goodness u r only talking bout mushrooms! *wipe sweat*

I bought this mushroom once, and hoh, got some kind of smell, that I dun really fancy. Dried ones smell worse to me.
But then again, mushroom smell is always a personal preference.
You were in Cameron last week? Gee! We were there too...but only on a day trip. Too bad we did not bump into each other - or perhaps, lucky for you we didn't. So skinny...sure fly one! LOL!!! Didn't see these mushrooms there either. My daughter loves mushrooms...
something different, I like soup.
The monkey head mushrooms looked like corals.
First time see the monkey head mushrooms...

Monkey head? Where got look like one looked like your head ah kakaka. Thought Pete eating the brain of monkey when I saw the title. Chick kut can interchange with bak kut without changing the recipe? tQ
Your soup looked really tasty(I'm a soup person)! How much did you buy the Monkey Head Mushroom, I know it's rather expensive one! Must do to Genting Leisure park lar!

Smallkucing : Can use in steamboat and tomyam
Bananaz : yes, recipe is the same
Alice : I think only around Rm5
You got me here! I was half expecting to see an actual monkey head on the screen! Although the actual mushrooms are close and probably could have fooled me! Love that soup and you are right the benefits of mushrooms should be exploited more!
Thanks for introducing this mushroom ...seeing it for the first time
