Cranberry bean is commonly known as 珍珠豆. You should be able to find it in Tiong Bahru Market. It's not common in supermarket though. This is how it looks like => http://wokkingmum.blogspot.com/2007/07/cranberry-bean-with-pork-ribs-soup.htmlWokkingMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847485589069215046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-6742886228566815052011-03-08T14:28:03.122+08:002011-03-08T14:28:03.122+08:00Hi Wokking Mum, I have tried 3-4 of your soup reci...Hi Wokking Mum, I have tried 3-4 of your soup recipes, my hubby who is Cantonese, he loves them! Thanks!<br /><br />2 quick questions, please can you help?<br /><br />1. This Chinese Old Melon Soup with Barley 老黄瓜薏米汤, any reason why it's 2 pieces of chicken breast? because I notice u usually used drumsticks in the past for chicken meat in soups. <br />2. Sadly I still can't find cranberry beans. I've checked with shops in the big Tiong Bahru market (they gave me a clueless look) as well as Giant supermarket at Vivocity, both unsuccessful. Could you suggest somewhere I can go to buy cranberry beans? Would you also be so kind as to provide pictures of cranberry beans before it is cooked, what it looks like and how it is usually sold? I was rather lost while scanning the rows of shelves at Giant, not quite sure what I am searching. Haha<br /><br />Thanks!<br />-Fernzy-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-75848984503119966962011-03-01T13:54:52.161+08:002011-03-01T13:54:52.161+08:00Will try this.
