You don&#8217;t really need anything else to eat your plain rice with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I can imagine this would be a really nice soup to savour on a cold wintry day, except that such a day will never come in hot and humid Singapore. But it doesn&#8217;t hurt to let my imagination run wild once in a while; let it run back to those good old days in Durham during its coldest winter days &#8211; us sitting in the dining area sipping a bowl of piping hot shark melon soup and watching the snowfall through the living room windows.
