Traditional Medical Hall. Disappearing??

This is how a typical Chinese Medical Hall looks like. This particular one located in Hougang (Singapore) is one that I frequent and trust. I have heard horror stories about how some medical halls took their own 'initiative' to exchange ingredients which they do not carry with something else. As a results, the efficacy is completely changed. We as the end users rarely understand a thing about the ingredients in the concoction. All we do is pour the whole content to boil and drink the black bitter liquid that arises from it.

With the wider exposure to TCM, I hope this trade will live on for our future generations to see.
