Gingko Nuts and Waterchestnut Dessert

6:00 PM Unknown 1 Comments

It's been awhile the family does not have any happy occasion to celebrate since the passing of my youngest brother on Christmas Day 2013.  Today, I received a happy news from my god-daughter [my brother's daughter].  She scored all 10 A+ in the SPM exam.  Her late father was always very proud of her and had been planning her future course of studies.  We are all very happy with her outstanding achievement but also sad her Papa is no longer around to enjoy this  moment that he had been waiting for.  Hope that he knows his daughter has done well again this time.  
This sweet dessert should further 'sweetened' the day for the family.

A chilled sweet dessert is always something we would love to have during this hot season. This dessert with gingko nuts and water chestnuts can also be served hot or warm according to own preference.   I omitted the hard boiled quail eggs since these are high cholesterol food.

1.2 litres water

1. Blanch gingko nuts in boiling water for several minutes.  Rinse and drain.
2. Put all the ingredients [except rock sugar] in a deep saucepan, bring to boil for several minutes.
3. Lower heat and simmer for 1/2 hour, add in rock sugar to taste.
4. Ladle out to serve warm or hot or chilled.
