Mushroom Soup

I was a little bit peckish that morning and decided to eat something light before going to the chicken rice stall to pick up mum's lunch.

As usual, more often than not, I ended up at Halla Holla since it is so convenient and along the way. I scrolled the online menu and noted that the soup of the day was Mushroom Soup.


I got me their excellent iced Latte.


And the Mushroom Soup, which I expected to be good based on my good experience with their Tomato Soup.


Indeed the Mushroom Soup was wonderful!


Thick and full of mushrooms.


What was missing was a good dash of pepper.


What made it even better was the slice of sourdough toast to soak up all that goodness. Nyums!


Back at The Starling the Spooky Halloween bazaar was in full swing.


I will check out the kiosks a bit later to see what they are selling.


Oh! I spotted a Tiramisu stall hee...hee....


As I was leaving I noticed this huge thing and I wondered what it was.


It's one of those inflatable things and looked like a cave or something like that. Then I went to the front.


Oh! That is actually a heart hah..hah..hah...


That's when all those terminology I learnt in biology class came to my head - superior vena cava, anterior vena cava, atrium, ventricle, etc - well I still remember what I learnt hah..hah..hah... not bad madam!


I hope I don't need these procedures.


I intend to get a full medical checkup when I am 60.


A friend of my partner's had a pace maker implanted a while back but now he needs some intervention due to atrial fibrillation. 


Maybe if I have time, I will visit this booth and go for a tour of the inflatable heart.

  2. Good morning! Mushroom soup 🍲 πŸ„ is my favourite and default soup of the day followed by tomato πŸ… soup, seafood chowder or corn soup etc. It is pity I was not assigned and streamed to learn biology during my secondary days and that I did not appreciate science subjects such as Chemistry back then.

    1. Good morning! It is all right, we all have different interest and aptitude. I happen to love biology, chemistry but not physics. LOL!

  3. The breathing exercise is a simple yet useful and beneficial exercise. Your meal at Halla holla was a basic yet satisfying meal. I love to soak my bread usually is garlic πŸ§„ bread 🍞 into the soup and eat too. Thanks for bringing us a walk around the mall. Today is Halloween πŸ‘»πŸŽƒ Day. Have a productive, calm, peaceful, happy, and blessed day ahead. Thanks for sharing my dear friend. Lunch will be rice, fish and steamed egg for me.

  4. Dear friend, I just noticed that you also followed Nancy Chan's blog. She and I followed each other's blogs when I was at Linda's Peaceful Place. As you know, because I have mentioned it before, between November 2017 and early this year I had no computer or web access. I found out a few months ago after I started my new blog that Nancy died two years ago.
    She was a lovely person.
    I hope you have a great weekend.

    1. Yesm Linda. I did follow Nancy's blog and loved looking at her garden. She was quite the gardener. It is a pity that she is no longer with us. I agree that she was a lovely person. She even sent me flower seeds that I managed to grow!

  6. I am surprised that they didn't put pepper into the mushroom see soup because for the omelette, they put lots of pepper. πŸ˜‹

    1. Their ice latte is good because it is not diluted.
