Thunder Tea Rice

It’s been a very long time since I first cooked Thunder Tea Rice. I first came across this Thunder Tea Rice when an ex-colleague from the Hakka clan told me the goodness of this dish.

Anyhow, while flipping through my recipe collection, I stumbled upon this recipe and I decided to cook it for my family. Though it is relatively easy to cook, I find that it’s time consuming.

Two weeks ago, while at Food Republic in Vivo City, I saw this Thunder Tea Rice stall and I immediately know what I was going to have for lunch! This stall also serves brown rice – just my type and I really love it.

According to this stall, this dish can “help to lower cholesterol, remove body toxic, fluid waste, strengthen immune system, ease digestion and gastric, combat flu and headache, expel body winds and gas plus maintain youth and enhance beauty.” I don’t know how this dish can really provide so much benefit but I just love it. I don’t drink the soup on its own but I scoop some into my rice then mix the rice with the soup and eat it this way.

Since then I’ve had this thunder tea rice at least another 3 more times! Yummy! So my cholesterol level should come down too!
