I came home from work today with a sore throat and a low-grade fever. In place of chicken soup, we go to the Hong Kong restaurant across the street for tan tan men to squelch colds. You can get some version of this red spicy sesame noodle soup at all kinds of noodle shops and Chinese places but Kowloon is my favorite. Instead of chicken, it has a scoop of spiced ground pork on top, and instead of carrots and celery, bok choi and nira.
I don't have swine flu - or probably any kind of flu - but it struck me as funny to eat porky soup to kill a fever this week.
