Although it was called "three delicacies", there were definitely more than three kinds of dishes. The origin of the name was mainly from three kinds of dishes: Flower branches, fresh shrimp, and pork.
The three flavors were mixed together with some chicken liver and chicken gizzards to increase the freshness of the chicken meat. One could imagine how fresh the soup was.
A big bowl of soup was served. It was really big. There were two ears on the side to prevent people from scalding their hands when serving it. The surface of the soup was painted with a rich and blooming flower, but the inside was snow-white. With the snow-white soup, it was unknown whether the soup or the bowl was white.
