Tong Sui Shops (literally translated as Sugar Water Shop) are Cantonese dessert shops which provide traditional Cantonese sweeties. Tong Sui literally means ‘sugar water’, a Cantonese term for traditional sweet soup. Common ingredients of traditional Tong Sui are black sesame, red beans, green beans and coconut milk. Nowadays, Tong Sui shops in Hong Kong do not simply provide Cantonese sweet soups but also western desserts like ice cream and chocolate souffle.
