  HAR?!!
  
  Like what Bear said, I think that caramelising the onions in a frying pan first would make it taste even better!
  
  My friend taught me this recipe before... Slice the bak kua into shreds (not too fine!), throw it in the wok and stir-fry with vegetables. Very very delicious!!

  only thing is that i have to be anti-social after eating the stuff

  Oh! Are you aware that 'liang teh' got many types? Some is for 'cooling' purpose while some instead of 'cooling', it brings or rather force the 'heatiness' out of your body. And maybe this 'heatiness' being force out thru your throat hence your sorethroat cannot recover in time.
  
  Another way, stop drinking all the liang teh. Eat some amount of water melon daily.

  Wah... so complicated! Wanna yan2 jiu1 further also don't know which source to turn to!
  
  Hmm... reminds me of the si1 gua1 pen1 (watermelon powder) that the Taiwanese swear by for mouth ulcers and other heaty symptoms. Too bad the medical halls here don't sell it.

  My own ways to cure sore throat:
  
  1)BOIL Chrysanthemum tea, add a small piece of rock sugar ( very important ).
  
  2)Green bean soup. Also add rock sugar instead of normal sugar as rock sugar have 'cooling' purpose.
  
  3)Eat watermelon but do not over eat. 2-3 slice will do.
  
  4)Last method and also the best way: Raw Lotus Roots juice. WHO DARE TO DRINK LIKE TAT? Add a little honey if you hate the raw taste.
  
  FYI:
  
  Lotus root is sweet and can be eaten as fruit, sliced and stir fried, or stuffed with glutinous rice in its flue-shaped holes and steamed as dessert. Tender young lotus roots are good for salads while starchy mature lotus roots are good for making soups. Ground mature lotus root powder makes wonderful thick soup and dessert soup. It also stops diarrhea, clears Heat and improve appetite. Lotus roots contain much iron, vitamins B & C. The rich fibre content of lotus roots stimulates peristalsis and relieves constipation. Drinking 2 to 3 glasses of lotus root juice a day can stop bleeding of the esophagus an stomach (vomiting blood); bleeding of the rectum, intestines or stomach (blood in feces); nose bleeding or gum bleeding. Lotus root soup also serves similar purposes. Patients with high fever can drink it cold, while those with steady temperature should drink it warm. Drinking water chestnut juice mixed with pear juice can help clear phlegm while mixing it with grape juice and carrot juice eases dry tongues.

  I was just told that apple cider vinegar (preferably the type that can be consumed uncooked), mixed with honey in water, works wonders for sore throats.
