Chinese dessert tong sui - longan date luo han guo tong sui 龍眼紅棗羅漢果糖水


I purchase a lot dry ingredients from Hong Kong during my Hong Kong trip. I love cake, chocolate and many sweets.When I have this chinese dessert that I am making tonight, I had it at a vegeterian restaurant in Hong Kong. I am glad I had this dessert, these ingredients are nostalgic to me, the very familiar taste. and honestly if I have never left Hong Kong. I probably won't care it much. I hope you all will like it. :)
