Tong Sui, meaning "sugar water," refers to a broad category of warm, sweet Chinese dessert soups made with ingredients like red beans, mung beans, black sesame, taro, lotus seeds, sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and glutinous rice balls. It originated in Guangdong province, particularly in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, where it remains a staple in dessert shops and night markets. Tong Sui is simmered until smooth or chunky, depending on the type, and served warm or chilled, typically after meals or as a late-night treat. Each version has its own texture and cultural significance—some are linked to festive traditions or traditional Chinese medicine. Common variations include black sesame soup, red bean soup, and almond tea.
