The choice of ingredients is more in line with the homology of medicine and food, and should be eaten at the right time.

Guangdong VS hong kong-style syrup, which bowl do you choose?
All kinds of Cantonese sugar water are usually cooked/boiled/stewed with milk, beans, nuts and other ingredients together with yellow sugar and water to form soup, paste, soup or sand. In addition to liquid, it is also divided into solid and semi-solid
Classic Cantonese syrup, such as Ersha Sanjiao, is also divided into medicinal materials (such as lily syrup and lotus seed syrup) and milk (ginger milk and double-skin milk). ). Such as white fungus stewed papaya, sesame dumplings, taro sago, sweet potato syrup, etc. It is also an indispensable classic style in the sugar store.
Hong Kong syrup is a combination of traditional syrup and western dessert. The biggest difference between Hong Kong-style syrup and Cantonese-style syrup is that a lot of fruits are added. Since Hong Kong became a colony, it has naturally been much more exposed to imported goods than the mainland. Fruits, dairy products and western-style desserts ... have made their own characteristics.
Mixing traditional syrup such as bean curd flower and bean jelly with fresh fruits such as durian, mango and grapefruit, and then adding milk or condensed milk, not only enriches the layering of syrup itself, but also adds extra points to its value.
