354. Sup Sayur Campur

Let's go back and talk about food. Have you ever cook this 'Sayur Campur' soup? Most have I guess. I cooked it this afternoon, and after a long time not cooking it my family loves it, especially hubby.

Funny...I've always called it 'Sayur Campur' because there are only dried vegetables put into it. Most shops sell these dried vegetables all in one packet but I prefer buying them in separate packets ( I mean 1 dry bean curd sticks in 1 packet etc.). Nowadays the dried vegetables are expensive.

I also wonder if this is a Chinese dish of origin? :) or what other names is this dish called?
