Sarawak Wild Pepper Root Chicken Soup

Recently, i went on a short trip to Kuching, Sarawak. Over there, i was introduced to the famous Sarawak Wild Pepper Root and the pepper products. The lady at the shop told me that i wouldn't regret buying these to make soup and cook. I certainly didn't! My wife liked it and my son loved it! Too bad i only bought enough to make it 5 times. Sigh, i should have bought more since it expires in 2014!!!
