The one unusual thing about this soup is the inclusion of brandy. It amazed me when I first studied this recipe. Most of the old Nonya bibiks (grandaunts or senior ladies) would drink ‘a bit’ of brandy each night before they went to bed. They claimed that it was a tonic that kept them strong and healthy. No wonder, since many of them lived past 80 years of age and remained mentally alert and physically robust.
