This leng looi tong sui stall is located at the Jelutong market, at the corner outside a coffee shop. In fact, it’s not a stall but rather a small pickup truck which the back portion modified to easily set up for business.

The name of this tong sui stall is “mat tou yau” ( means everything also available) tong sui but the term leng looi tong sui is often referred to this stall because the owners are two pretty young ladies (sisters, I believe) working together to run the business :)


The tong sui ingredients are much the same like others but theirs may have additional items like gingko, longans, sago and sea coconut.

You can also take your pick over the ingredients, much like mix and match to make your own favorite leng chee kang. One plus point is that the leng chee kang is not too sweet and taste just right.

However, if you insist of having it sweeter, they do provide syrup for you at no extra cost.

The stall operates from evening onwards and they do have another branch at the round about food court at Taman Free School. Enjoy the tong sui while at the same time be attracted with sight of pretty tong sui sellers.

Even Ah Xian from Taste with Jason (Astro AEC) came before to try it himself. So what are you waiting for?

Tong Sui: Wai Sek Kai - Leng Chee Kang

Written on 1:27 PM by Penang Tua Pui

There are quite a number of leng chee kang stalls here but I will highlight two I believe has more patrons compared to others. These tong sui stalls are located at Chai Leng Park “wai sek kai”, the famous street full of hawker stalls at night adjacent to Chai Leng Park multipurpose hall. (By the way, the name of the road is Lebuh Kurau 5 in case you are curious to know).

The first one is “Hello Kittyleng chee kang. It has visibly bright pink colored banner and some Hello Kitty mascots. The stall is towards the front end of wai sek kai, situated between curry mee and wan tan mee stalls.

The other tong sui stall is “Naturalleng chee kang, located at the other end of the road next to “Lekker” claypot chicken rice and curry fish head stall. Despite the stalls located away from each other, I did mistake them of being the same, maybe due to the same pink color used on the banner and stall setup. Both stalls operate daily, usually by 6pm till late night.

Hello Kitty stall selling the leng chee kang at RM2.50 per bowl and RM3.80 for a big one. While for Natural stall, the last time I checked on the price is RM2.20 per bowl. In terms of price per portion ratio, both stalls actually offer similar servings.

The portion of the leng chee kang is absolutely generous with the whole bowl actually filled up with ingredients and plus ice cubes of course. Even if you remove those ice cubes, I can still claim the portion given is generous.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, maybe more. Some may argue it is because of the portions of the ice that make the bowl looks filled up. Whatever the case, go ahead and try… you will agree with me on this.

Despite things going up lately, let us hope that the stall owner will continue to maintain this portion and price in near future. If you ever drop by Chai Leng Park wai sek kai, remember to give this a try!

Dessert: Tong Sui - 糖水

Dessert,Penang Food,Tong SuiTong Sui is a generic term used when referring to desserts consumed by the Chinese that is normally served at the end of the meal. Tong sui is popular among the Chinese or where the presence of Chinese people are obvious.

The phrase “tong sui” itself translates to “sugar water” which means the dessert is a type of sweet serving. It is also known as “tian tang” or sweet soup in Chinese which also reflects that the dessert is soup based.


There are many types of tong sui available and the one we have here is known as “cheng pou leong” or “qing bu liang - 清补凉”.

The popularity of "qing bu liang" picked in Malaysia quite a while ago, possibly due to the exposure from watching the Hong Kong drama and those exposed to Chinese cultures in other nations. In Penang, it is commonly known as "leng chee kang".

There is not much cooking required to prepare "leng chee kang" as most of the ingredients are either cooked upfront or straight from the cans and into the bowls. The only item that must be cooked is the soup (or syrup) itself, which is typically mixture of sugar cooked with water.

The ingredients used usually consist of sweet potatoes, jelly, lychee, longan, sea coconut, atap chee, red beans, white fungus and perhaps much more. They are mixed into a bowl and poured with the syrup. "Leng chee kang" is normally served hot but ice cubes can be added if cold dessert is preferred.
