苦中一点甜~ The Dynasty Healthy Herbal Tea House

Did you know that chinese medicine is always about balancing your energy?  The "chi" they said, should be made accord for the entire body to function harmoniously ensuring a healthy body.  There are lots of ways in practicing chinese medicine. Not touching on the more complex cure, the daily consumable herbal drinks are featured here. 

Introducing the Gui Ling Gao (龟苓膏):

Chilled Herbal Jelly With Sea Coconut and Longan

Most herbal shops sell this particular dessert by the jelly with honey.  However, for Dynasty Healthy Herbal Tea House (黄朝), they believed the dessert should be enjoyed in many more varieties than its original presentation.  Hence, after trying this concept, I would say, it definitely redefined the meaning of creativity to a dessert deserving more attention than just by its bitter jelly.  The accompanying sea coconut and longan bits with lemon/lime juice brings a refreshing taste to the dessert.  No longer bitter, a touch of sweetness enhances the flavour bringing out a pleasant taste to be enjoyed.  Hence, if you are wondering what's the meaning of the chinese characters on the title of this post, it means "In its bitterness, sweetness is present".  粘切 mah? #close_enough

Dynasty Healthy Herbal Tea House offers more than meets the eyes, for besides their bestseller Gui Ling Gao, they serve Foo Chuk Barley (beancurd stick with barley), Luo Han Guo drink, Mango Cream dessert, and many others. Just have a look at part of their menu captured here:

So many smiley recommendations & they serve homemade cakes too. 

In case you are not aware, here's the list of benefits when consuming herbal drinks which I extracted from their shop's display area: 

- Improving your skin complexion

- Strengthen your immune system
- Detoxify the body
- For damp heat (湿热), dry skin, pimples, insomnia & lack of appetite.

An array of choices served before us
