creamy and smooth chinese dessert

There are so many type of Tong Sui in Southeast Asia, and I have introduced the most famous one in my previous post, Red Bean Soup. Now, let’s make another Tong Sui, how about Mak Zuk Tong Sui? Mak Zuk literally mean Wheat Porridge, it looks like a porridge as it is white, thick and sticky, but it is not salty, of course, it is a Tong Sui (sweet water), how can it be salty?

Coconut milk is used in making this dessert so that it gives a creamy and aromatic taste. Well, since coconut is abundance in this region, it is not surprise that most Tong Sui or dessert in Southeast Asia have coconut milk inside. Actually, coconut milk does enhance the sweetness of the dessert and make it more smoother and creamier, though it is quite fattening, but most desserts are, right?!

Mak Zuk Tong Sui is pretty easy to make, the ingredient needed also not many, just a few things, like:
