Black Pepper Fish Soup

The wheather is not been good nowadays. Everyone at home is getting sick on & off. Even, I still feel my throat is not getting any better after taking the 'kahmo' tea bought by hubby @ the 'singseh' (chinese medical store). Well as they say, 'kahmo' tea is highly recomended to clear off the heatiness in our body, or maybe should try it more since once won't help.
Since everybody in the house is having serious problem with the appetite, I have tried this one, see if it can make the day better for the sick.
