I learned from my father how to cook Conger Radish and Spicy soup when I was in secondary school. I like the taste of the soup because of the sweetness from the conger (a type of eel). My siblings, however, do not like it because there are too many fish bones.

My father always enjoyed having this dish with a bowl of white rice after a working the whole day in the farm under the hot sun.
