I always in a dilemma if to buy bitter-melon whenever i do my marketing. Not only that i don't know much on how to cook it, but also on the challenge of getting the two little lovers to eat them in view of its bitter taste. Now this soup recipe has helped to solve the concern.
This soup tasted surprisingly nice. Well, you can still taste a bit of bitter, but not very much. And by adding the tomatoes gave it some sour taste that just balance it out a bit. My two litter lovers mixed it with their rice and kind of having a 'rice-soup' whenever i cooked this for them.
If you do have little one at home and would like them to have some bitter-melon, this would be a good try. :)
