==The History of Tong Sui Shops==
Tong Sui Shops in Hong Kong were mainly originated from the post-war period. Chinese Migrants brought their hometown’s sweet soups to Hong Kong, such as Red Bean Soup from Guangzhou and Tang Yuan from Shanghai. Newcomers mostly opened street side food stalls to sell the sweet soap for livelihood. Sweet soup was also provided in Chinese tea house, like Tofu pudding during the 1950s to 1960s. Traditional Chinese-style sweet soup became more popular and welcomed by the citizens.
During the 1980s to 1990s, Hong Kong’s economy was developing rapidly and people’s living standard raises. The western culture was influential. Western desserts and sweet soups were imported to Hong Kong by Western hotels or cooks who study cooking in the west. Mango pomelo sago was invented by a Singaporean chief. Under the strong influence, people started using fresh fruits to create new-style Tong Sui such as Tapioca pudding. The traditional Chinese Tong Sui also face a change. Many Chinese herb tea shops transformed into Tong Sui Shop for survival, like Hui Lau Shan which transformed into chain new-style Tong Sui shop.〔(Dessert chain offers place to chill out.
