A ready-to-eat Hong Kong tong sui from On Kee's Light Dessert range, built around the crunch of water chestnut (ma tai). Soft, chewy peach gum and silky snow fungus float in a lightly sweetened rock sugar soup scented with red osmanthus, and the fun twist is the water chestnut popping pearls that burst on the tongue. Delicate and refreshing, it is lovely chilled straight from the fridge on a warm day, or gently warmed in a pan or in a bowl in the microwave (never in its packaging). Serve as a light finish to a Cantonese meal or as an afternoon pick-me-up. Keep in a cool, dry place and eat as soon as it is opened.
