Milk Pudding 燉鮮奶

The word of "Tong Sui" is a Cantonese word that means sweet Chinese desert. If you go Macau, never forget to try this very popular "Tong Sui" - Milk Pudding. Milk pudding is different from egg custard! They look similar but the traditional milk pudding only uses the egg white and never uses the yolk. Thus for those that like egg and yet afraid of the high cholesterol, this dessert is indeed an ideal one.

Milk Pudding and egg tart is origin from Macau. So next time, don’t forget to try this dessert if so happen you drop by Macau. I learnt this nice desert from TVB drama series "澳门街". I manage to try it during my first visit in Macau and I have to tell you, the taste, flavor andz its smooth smooth texture is indeed fantastic! The popular shop we went is called " Yi Shun". See the picture below, can you feel its smooth texture ? (nice food in macau : http://foodinmacau.blogspot.com/ )
