What was it? Apple sweet syrup... tong sui.. By the way, what is the proper word for "tong sui" in english? Direct translation is "sugar water." Sounds odd, huh....
Ok, back to the apple tong sui, I bought 10 apples but cut up eight... ehhh... picture showing 7 geh?? I remember putting cutting up eight ?... WTH, anyway... 7 or 8, they are easy to boil... just peel off the skin and cut them up, doesn't matter how big or small, the size doesn't matter. Some of them were cut up in halves and some in quarters.. That is Me... (always killing the recipe)
then just throw them into the pot
with some red dates
I love red dates so I put in more...
not forgetting rock sugar as well....
after 2 hours, we have our apple tong sui here...
sweet and sourish at the same time..
Best after eating something heaty such as durians!

Sweet dessert?
ReplyDeleteCY: i was thinking about that too..dessert, whether it is solid or liquid...
ReplyDeletesimplegirl: hahaha. syrup water sounds funny.. like i mentioned, sugar water. direct translation..
eugene: not only u, i also lost it cos it was the time zone difference. we were both in dreamland when they gave us.. never mind, there are other ways..
littlelamb: i guess the only word is dessert..
This is a good recipe ;). Good for the heaty people.
ReplyDeleteBut wow so much rock sugars? wonder if my husband will eat apples like this :P.
Oh that easy? Will boil some for my amoi without the sugar...
ReplyDeletei love boil this for my boys too. I will put honey dates (mak jou)+ apples, honey dates already sweet so i will omit the rock sugar. You can add in some "snow fungus" is it call "snow fungus or white fungus"? :)
ReplyDeleteAgnes: yes, u can do without the rock sugar n put mutt choe instead.. like what annieQ said.. hehe.. i forgot all about that..
ReplyDeleteannieQ: yes, thanks for suggestion, i forgotten all about the mak joe.. will put that when i boil pear this weekend... the white fungus, they dont really like, me either but i heard it is good too. yoon.. right?

ReplyDelete+Anton+
Haven't touch on this for a very long time coz the kids don't like it that much. They prefer to have winter melon 'tong sui'! My son said the grated winter melon looks like bird nest LOL! hahaha.....
ReplyDeleteOh I love to drink this! But do not know how to cook it. Thanks for the recipe! It's easy. Just hope I get the apple, water and the rock sugar proportion right. :)
ReplyDeleteP/S: You can try pear also. My mom always cook the pear like this. Very nice and cooling also.
Did you check how many spoonful of sugar can be more than Ribena or not haha..tasted this once they are quite nice.
ReplyDeletegratitude: yes, today annieQ said with mak joe and white fungus will be super nice too..
ReplyDeletecheeyee: pears will be then for this weekend.. hahaha...
cheah: please dont remind me lar i drank a lot already la..... oh, in that case, substitute with mak joe as annieq said.. it will not be as sweet but better than sugarless..
Wow! This is easy! I think I can make this tong sui also! Haha!
ReplyDeleteEr... so why one apple missing? Somebody stole and eat it izit? : )
foongpc: hehee.. i think i must have cut that up before i remember taking this pic.. hehehe...
ReplyDeleteI would peel about 6-7 apples....melt about 2 tbsp of butter in saucepan, put in diced apples, add a little honey, and cinnamin (or apple pie spice) and heat until the apples are soft enough to mash. You now have applesauce.
