Spit Soup Anyone?

We had a conversation at lunch today about shark fin soup which reminded me of something I had last time I went home to my parents. I remember it was my first time, and while I was eating it, I was thinking (at the expense of sounding like Wysz) "I need to tell my friends I ate this"...so here it is.

The pictures I found online varied, so this is the one that most closely resembles what I had. It actually tasted pretty good, but I was uncomfortably aware that the tiny bowl I was consuming probably cost a good $50.

Note: I had the sweet dessert version made with rock sugar.
