Do you have a favorite soup to order in a Chinese restaurant? For the longest time, my parents always get Apple Soup (???) whenever we go to one. The restaurant version almost always have fried fish with it instead of chicken, but I never really like the fish, so I use chicken when I make the soup at home. For that matter, I am not even sure what fish they use LOL ??
