Ingredients : Seacoconut (refer to the picture for how to do peeling), sweet dates, dry longan, white fungus, rock sugar/gula Melaka, lo-hon-gor.
Cooking Method : Peel and wash seacoconut, cut into 1/2" slice. Put sweet dates, lo-hon-gor and seacoconut into the pot and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Add white fungus and dry longan, cook for another half an hour. Taste the soup before add in the rock sugar/gula Melaka to your favourite.
I have a small tip here to share, the softer seacoconut is nice to eat but when you found some hard(old) seacoconut among them, you can peel and cut into half of it to cook with, this can make you differentiate which is hard one when serving. Actually, old seacoconut is more tasty to cook but not nice to eat, this will make sure every scoop you eat is smooth and delicious!
I like to drink this dessert too, but sometime not able to cook this as 海底椰 always very big packet, too many for my family, usually I will just omit this.
