Walk down memory lane with a bowl of this creamy black glutinous rice ‘tong sui’

brings us back to our childhood kitchens. especially in Hong Kong, thislooks like the inverse of a pearly white congee with its purplish black hues. Surely there’s nothing to get excited about — it’s just grains, right?Some pandan — a knot of those fragrant green leaves — is necessary to impart its refreshing aroma. A handful of rock sugar, of course, for sweetness . Dried longan for bite and a more subtle and fruity sweetness.

This is not merely a teatime treat or something sweet at the end of a meal, it’s one of the ties that bind us to our family, one of the links that pull us back to the past.and ladle up a bowl for the ones whom we care for, we are starting the cycle of love anew., knowing very well that we will ask for a second helping, maybe a third, it is with contentment at a weekend well spent and also at a craving, a deep heartfelt desire, satisfied.

It’s a walk down memory lane we didn’t know we needed but now that we have savoured it, are so glad that we did.The startling contrast of black glutinous rice and white coconut cream is beautiful. Despite its name, grains of black glutinous rice aren’t actually jet-black in colour but varies from brownish black to purplish black. High in dietary fibre as well as manganese, don’t panic when rinsing the grains as the resultant liquid will become almost burgundy in colour; it’s all natural!, other ingredients can be considered optional depending on where theis made. In my hometown of Malacca at least, what with its deep Peranakan heritage, some fragrant pandan is a must.

Finally, add a handful of rock sugar at the end of cooking, to your taste. Sweetness is an individual thing, after all, be it the flavour of food or one’s personal disposition.
