After dinner, I feel like having some dessert. After looking at Ren restaurant menu, I order the Chinese Herbal Pudding with longan and honey. After including the service tax, the total cost is RM10.95 per bowl.
The correct name for Chinese Herbal Pudding is actually Guilinggao which mean tortoise jelly powder in chinese. It is a jelly-like Chinese medicine, also sold as a dessert. It was traditionally made from turtle shell powder and it is expensive.
That commercially available guilinggao does not contain turtle shell powder. They share the same herbal additives as the medicine and are similarly marketed as being good for skin complexion when ingested.
Here are pictures of my Chinese Herbal Pudding with longan and honey when served. It comes with longan, white fungus, red dates, and lotus seed as well.
