Leng Ngau Tong (Lotus Root Soup) is one of the most ubiquitous soups among the Malaysian Chinese. It is believed to have all kinds of health benefits ranging from aiding digestion to boosting your immune system. This soup is a popular Chinese New Year Eve Reunion Dinner soup. Lotus root symbolizes abundance because of the Cantonese homophone on the pronunciation of leng ngau as it rhymes with “always sufficient”. You can add fah sung (peanuts) to symbolize multiplication of wealth and fortune.
