How to cook Shark Fin Melon Soup / 鱼翅瓜汤 (Step by Step)
Shark Fin Soup used to be widely served delicacy in hotels’ wedding banquet and restaurants during Chinese New Year period.
If you have seen the Documentary show and learnt how shark had gone through before its fin is served to people, you might think twice before eating it. We do not need to consume shark fin to live but the shark needs their fin to survive. Moreover, shark is now in the brink of extinction.
Thank God, nowadays, people tend to reduce, refuse and reject eating shark fin and find alternatives like Shark Fin Melon (假鱼翅) to replace the real Sharks Fin Soup. Once the Shark Fin Melon is cooked in soup, the pulp strands will be separated out and it imitates like real Shark Fin. This Shark Fin Melon is said to help treat diabetes due to its high D-Chiro-Inositol content, unlike the real Shark Fin where it has nil health benefit.
Health Benefits of Shark Fin Melon:-
- Treats diabetes

Winter Melon Soup Recipe | 冬瓜湯 | Wax Gourd Soup
Winter melon soup is prepared with winter melon as a primary ingredient and is a part of Chinese cuisine and the cuisine of Hong Kong. It is served often at Chinese banquets.
Winter melon soup may have a slightly sweet flavor. Some recipes may use several ingredients in addition to winter melon, which may include ham, carrot, mushrooms and chicken. Winter melon soup may be served hot, yet has been described as having a cooling effect upon the body when consumed.
Benincasa hispida, the wax gourd, also called ash gourd, white gourd, winter gourd, tallow gourd, ash pumpkin, winter melon, Chinese preserving melon[ and (Alu) Puhul, is a vine grown for its very large fruit, eaten as a vegetable when mature.
In Chinese cuisine, the gourds are used in stir fries or combined with pork or pork/beef bones to make winter gourd soup, often served in the scooped out gourd, carved by scraping off the waxy coating. It is also chopped and candied as winter melon candy (dōng guā táng), commonly eaten at New Year festivals, or as filling for Sweetheart cake (lǎopó bǐng). It has also been used as the base filling in Chinese and Taiwanese mooncakes for the Moon Festival.

Winter Melon Soup | Bone Broth Soup [Nyonya Cooking]
A bowl of Chinese slow-cooked soup is most welcome for the colder days. Winter Melon is low in calories, high in nutrients and is also very refreshing.
Nothing beats having a bowl of hot soup to warm the soul on cold winter days. There are many variations of [Chinese soups](/categories/soups) which are generally known to be very nutritious. Different soups have different benefits, depending on the ingredients used.
For this recipe, winter melon is the main ingredient. It not only helps to cool down the body heat but is also low in calories. Good recipe to try out especially for those who are health conscious! Have this bowl of soup as it is or have it to accompany a typical Southeast Asian meal.
Just like any other Chinese soup, you may substitute pork with chicken or anchovies. I especially like this soup cooked with pork, though. The sweetness from the carrots and honey date makes this soup even more yummy.
