Non-spicy version; fish is very fresh, firm & meaty with some muddy taste (normal for freshwater fish); love that the fish meat maintain its soft bite despite cooking in low heat for quite some time; soup is palatable & light with well-balanced herbal taste (taste may be slightly mild for people who love strong herbal taste soup); with few pieces of crunchy black fungus; soup is refillable, with no MSG; well-executed dish worth a try..
