How I wish I can a bowl of this right now. I love the sweet potatoes and every time I had "Chng Tng" I must add extra sweet potatoes.
Ya, is true, this look sweet and light.
Yum Yum, healthy dessert choice in any time of the day
I don't have a proper recipe for a simple sweet potato tong shui, so every time got a different outcome. I think it's good to have this standardize recipe so that every time can make a good one. Thanks for sharing. Must keep this one, it looks good!
Yum! Yum! my fav too! will definitely try this out soon!
What a wonderful and refreshing looking desert.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

It looks like Chng Tng with extra sweet potatoes :)
Wah.. ur version is so nutritious, longans and red dates...
Mine is something more for the sweet tooth to indulge,with pandan leaves, coconut milk and palm sugar :)
Bad for health :)
That's something new to me, sweet potato soup with longans and dates. Yum Yum!(my mum only adds sliced ginger)
BH, you are right. I'm relocating to Beijing next month. Will dearly miss the food in our home country... *sobs*
Ooooh....I love this, any time. You have my top favourite there...sweet pottaoes!
Thanks for all your kind words.
Grace, actually I don't have a specific recipe when I cook this, I just estimate but I've been lucky to get similar taste each time :)
Wendy, I've only tried this with palm sugar but not coconut milk. It must be really yummy!
