Chinese Shark's fin Melon Soup

Chinese Sharkfin Melon Soup

Don't be mistaken, this recipe is not using shark's fin as an ingredients, it is actually using <Shark's fin melon>. I believe the melon is named as Shark's fin Melon due to the resemblance of Shark's fin when it is cooked.

I have added some chinese herbal to increase the flavour of the soup.
