Choosing the Brazil mushroom soup with chicken, I eagerly awaited my bowl of nourishment. Upon its arrival, I was greeted with a generous serving featuring a whole chicken drumstick, snow fungus, Brazil mushrooms, and red dates. The presentation was simple yet inviting.

As I took my first sip of the soup, I was immediately struck by its light and herbaceous flavor profile. The absence of MSG allowed the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through, resulting in a refreshing and healthful broth. The Brazil mushrooms, though slightly shriveled in appearance, provided a pleasantly crunchy texture that complemented the tender snow fungus.

However, while the chicken drumstick easily separated from the bone, I found the meat to be slightly overcooked and lacking in tenderness.
