Easier than easy

Warm up cold weather seasons and find comfort in eating a bowl of Nyonya Salted Vegetable Duck Soup made from scratch.

Also known as Itek Tim, this cosy weather soup is being slow-boiled for hours, with hearty duck meat and addictively sour vegetables infused in making a light, savoury broth. Just a sip of it will confirm leave you craving more!

With a soup recipe so nourishing and comforting, it’s best accompanied with a steaming bowl of white rice.
