Shark Fin Melon Soup with Corns

During one of our holiday trip to Cameron Highland in Pahang, we bought one shark fin melon and some sweet corns. It's been quite a long time that I did not cook shark fin melon soup. I remembered that I always cooked this soup when my princess is small. This soup is very sweet and tasty that came from shark fin melon and sweet corn. And off course with the helps of candied dates and pork ribs as well. I also added in some sweet almonds and bitter almonds that my mum bought me long time ago.
