This black gooey mess exceeded my expectations! This is only my 2nd time trying this
dish (the first time was the meat version some years back and I didn't like it).
The vinegar was rich, sour and savoury. The ingredients were black fungus, mushrooms, dates and some mock meat chunks. The ginger was surprisingly tasty and not fibrous.
I didn't finish the soup and the auntie chided me for wasting it as it's supposedly very nutritious :s Erm auntie, u should have told me earlier!
