Kimmy, I would love to have a bowl of this refreshing dessert ... cold please ... hee hee !
Hi Karen, sure your can help yourself to a bowl of this. It tasted good either chilled or warm. Honestly, it tasted even better when I chilled it in the fridge till the next day. The white fungus with slimy and absorbed the sweetness of the pumpkin and soup.
Hi Kimmy! What a good idea to add pumpkin into this dessert. Pumpkin is so creamy and sweet and I would enjoy this dessert very much!
Hi Phong Hong, after cooking this dessert, I was quite addicted to pumpkins now. Today, I cooked another simple dessert with pumpkin again. It tasted good too.
Hi Kimmy, I love your dessert, very refreshing and I wish to serve cold, hi hi
Kimmy,
This looks very refreshing and nutritious, good way to beat the haze! I heard the haze is very bad in Singapore, but not sure if it is bad at your side?
Hi Eileen, I like it chilled too. Very soothing and refreshing as you slurp in the soup, then the pumpkin just melt in your mouth cos' it is soft.
Hi Miss B, it is bad too in Penang. Even after heavy downpour, the haze is still there in the early morning. It depends on the wind direction. It's good time then to cook this dessert for the family.
Hi Kimmy,
I have not eaten pumpkin tong shui for ages! The last time I made something like this was almost two years ago!! Gasp...that long!
Your dessert looks wonderful, and yummy! Thanks for sharing with CYB!
Hi Joyce, it is because you have too many to prepare and cook. Hard to repeat it like me. Just not enough time to try all the lovely recipes shared in the web world. But I really like this dessert and would mind cooking it again when I have pumpkins at home.
Hi Kimmy,
This would be a prefect dessert for a hot weather over here. I would have 2 bowls please..lol
mui
Hi Mui Mui, I had this warm and chilled. I prefer it chilled and could also slurp in the white fungus which is soft.
