[...] Part 2 of my cooking with ginseng theme (final and 3rd part coming up!). The ginseng I am using is called american ginseng “beard”/fiber 洋参须.

I don’t know why I will feel giddy when I smell chrysanthemum and feel nausea when I drink ginseng tea since young. My hubby said I got a weird “allergy”. Can you imagine I had to pinch my nose when I make chrysanthemum tea for my hubby. hahaha …

Congratulations on winning the Cookthink’Pumpkin challenge! It was a well deserved win!
