Literally translated to 'sugar water', tong sui is a Cantonese term for any sweet soup. With that said, the origins are indeed from China but only amongst Cantonese communities. For some people, tong sui can be an acquired taste as these sweet soup desserts are made of ingredients that are not usually found in desserts, such as sweet potato, beans and tofu. We have lined these restaurants up for you so you can find the best tong sui in our central city!

Soon Kee Herbal House
Situated at Pandan Indah, Soon Kee Herbal House specializes in Chinese desserts. When it comes to tong sui, the utmost priority besides taste is it's healthy and fresh ingredients. Besides their best-selling Longan Tofu (must try!), you'll find other equally delicious desserts such as Honeydew Sago, White Fungus & Barley and even Ginseng & Snowfrog. Though tong sui is not as pretty as dolly cakes and colorful tarts, there won't be any healthier desserts around.

K.T.Z, also known as 'Kei Tak Sei' which literally translates to 'Remember to Eat', is a humble stall that offers a fantastic array of tong sui to the people of Kepong. If you do not mind the lack of air-conditioning, as well as a clean and proper place to dine, then you will be fine. The place does feel a lot like a hut, but hey, at least their desserts are good. The standard offerings includes lychee, longan, white fungus, lily buds, and lotus seed. They also have their shaved ice series, which is great to counter the heat of Malaysia.

Din Tai Fung
It is without a question that Din Tai Fung's steamed dumplings are remarkable but we reckon the tong sui/desserts are also equally delightful but underrated. Pictured here is the boiled papaya and sweet fungus soup that oozes out pleasant sweet notes onto your taste buds. It is the perfect finale to your dim sum fun!

Tong Sui Stall @ Jalan Ipoh
This nameless Tong Sui stall is run by Uncle Khoo who has been making sweet soups for fifty years. Uncle Khoo works really hard despite his old age - his stall is open from Monday to Saturday for eight hours or till sold out. Every working day, he starts cooking the broths from 3AM over a traditional charcoal fire. To make matters more intimate, he prepares all ingredients by himself too - you could say his desserts are made with lots of love and care. The menu changes daily but Uncle Khoo ensures there are at least five options each day.

Patron's Avenue
A rather newer establishment, Patron's Avenue has been around since October 2014 but has not necessarily made it 'up there' yet. With a good dessert menu and more importantly, delicious tasting tong sui, we have to give props to the restaurant and hopefully, some well deserved exposure. All recipes are kept traditional to ensure utmost originality and health benefits. For cold desserts, be sure to give their sago loh a go!

China Town Dessert
As it is named, this spot is another dessert house for Chinese inspired fusion desserts. Besides the classic tong sui such as glutinous rice soup, birds nest and tau foo fa, there are also snow ice desserts with fruits,cereal and ice cream. The brand itself has been somewhat commercialized and thus, prices are steeper than usual. While some hot kitchen food is available here, we wouldn't recommend it...

Tong Sui Stall @ Taman Muda
Some have labelled this stall as Poon Kee but in order to avoid confusion with Poon Kee Desserts, we'll just stick to the nameless stall next to BHP Petrol Station in Taman Muda. This motorcycle-stall has no seating available but that has not stopped fellow patrons to purchase their tong sui for a quick fix. If you happen to stumble upon paste soups, be sure to try them as the peanut and black sesame soup have been noted to be smooth, creamy and unforgettable!
