Those who frequent Petaling Street would've seen this busy stall at the junction alongside a lot of people standing all roughly waiting for a small-scale stainless steel bow (how it looked similar inwards the olden days). What is inwards that bowl that could brand people stand upwards together with hold back for their plough alongside no complains.... it's but a herbal drink. Read here
What's thus exceptional nearly this herbal drink? It seems mutual to choose wintermelon, longan together with lohanguo equally a drink, so?
It's because it tin plough over y'all the oohs together with the ahhs. Before y'all oooh together with ahhh, together with if it's your foremost fourth dimension to choose it, y'all may squint a flake at your foremost spoonful. It's utterly sweet! But equally y'all gulp on.... it feels smoothen together with satisfying, doesn't sense of savour similar the norm. It but doesn't! It totally shouts "KAW!" that agency concentrated inwards local lingo.
Usually dried longan afterwards beingness boiled inwards a gulp volition sense of savour bland...but the ane at Petaling Street is even thus equally sweetness equally ever. And the amount of H2O ice inwards the gulp tin plough over y'all encephalon freeze! Shiok!

The ingredients are no secret. They are all displayed at that topographic point at the stall equally it's mutual stuff, but the surreptitious lies inwards the ratio of ingredients. I didn't dig them for this recipe, but I happened to recreate something similar past times accident 10 years ago. I idea of making some herbal gulp saccharide cubes together with gave upwards on reducing it to a paste. And left it inwards the watery but concentrated state. And together with thus I flora that it tasted similar the ane inwards Petaling Street. Talk nearly hitting jackpot!
But I recall electrical current years they choose changed the type of longan used. Back inwards those days, it was dark together with flatten out, but straight off they are pale together with plump. I even thus prefer the night together with apartment ones.
You tin opt together with become far alongside less stone sugar, but together with thus y'all volition lose the essence of this drink. That is the longans won't survive equally sweetness together with tasty. Use the H2O ice to dilute the gulp at the end, non dilute the gulp inwards the beginning. Use it similar how y'all would locomote cordial. That's how concentrated it should be.
