Sounds bang on, although some recipes I've read also include angelica.
If you can wait until the evening (GMT), I can check Mrs Leong Yee
Soo's book, which has an excellent recipe in it, when I get home from
work.

They BOIL their ribs?
SAVAGES! Or maybe they're MODERN CAVEMEN! :-)
Bob, wondering where he can find hawthorn berries

Actually, kei chee isn't hawthorn exactly (sorry - you're talking to a
half-Chinese pedant here) - it's wolfberry, which is a sweet, dried red
berry about the length of the last joint of my little finger, and half
the width. You can get them boxed at Chinese supermarkets, but if
you're wanting them in quantity, you can get wolfberries at Chinese
medicine shops as well, where they're prescribed for liver problems and
women's problems (they're meant to increase your yin); they're not
expensive.

It's not exactly used as a garnish. Part of the recipe that you snipped was:

>> soup.
That seems to make it a component of the dish rather than just a garnish. I
thought it was one of the more interesting aspects of the recipe.
The recipe doesn't say how many people it serves. To my way of thinking, a
"few" leaves apiece from a head of iceberg lettuce works out to somewhere
around 5-6 people.
I think I might try making it sometime.

When I was a kid, my Dad used to cook iceberg lettuce (usually
stir-fried, but also added towards the end of soup noodle dishes) as a
vegetable quite regularly. It's actually very good cooked, and also
pops up in some French recipes (a lot of petits pois a l'etoufee
include lettuce).

Seasoned well and grilled it can be OK. Braised or
sautéed, no thanks. I'd still prefer something with
more (some) flavor, though. Grilled radicchio is
excellent.

Yeah - my experience is that iceberg is emphatically the worst of the
lettuces for cooking with. A round (butterhead in the US, I think)
lettuce can be excellent, though.

I sometiems add iceberg (or regular lettuce) to my British style pea soup.
Usually when I have leftover iceberg. I am looking forward to doing a
"pureed iceberg soup without the epas, maybe serve it cold. Maybe with
chunks of cucumer, or with greek yogurt. Plus dill.
Oh, now I want it. With salmon, too. And chives.
Ok, I am going to have to make that soup about five times now, to try the
different variation.s
