Fish Maw Health Benefits:

Fish maw is one of the precious traditional Chinese ingredients rated along abalone, sea cucumber and shark's fin due to it's high nitritional content. Fish maw contains rich proteins and nutrients such as phosphor and calcium. It nourishes 'yin', replenishes kidney and boosts stamina. It is effective in healing weak lung and kidney, anemia, etc. It is suitable for consumption by any age group of either gender and is a kind of therapeutic food. The most important of all is that fish maw contains high viscosity gel protein and mucopolysaccharide which are important to lady's skincare and capable of preserving fine complexion and invigorating blood circulation. Many Chinese people believe that drinking fish maw soup and eating fish maw will improve their skin and, for pregnant women, the skin of their babies. Furthermore, fish maw does not contain cholesterol and therefore it is a very valuable health enhancing ingredient suitable for long time consumption.

Why Black SILKIE Chicken?

The Chinese values silkie chicken for its tonic property, especially for those who just recovered from illness, surgery, after having baby, or just as overall healthy soup for the family. My mom prepared soups using silkie chicken when I just had a baby and doing a confinement diet.
The silkie has a soft feather and also a bluish-black skin and grayish bones and flesh.

WHY I LIKE SILKIE CHICKEN

Despite cooking the whole silkie along with the skin and everything, the soup does not turn out greasy like it normally would if I use regular chicken. The flesh is lean but it tastes good.

Dried Red Dates = enhances blood circulation, aids digestion, and purifies blood

Dried Goji Berry = protects the eyes, immune system support, protects against cancer, promotes healthy skin, stabilizes blood sugar, improves depression, anxiety, and sleep and prevents liver damage

Dried longan fruit add sweetness and vitamin C to your soup.
