Not a shaved ice dessert to beat the humid heat in Hong Kong?!Nope — it’s Turtle Shell Jelly! 🐢Due to Hong Kong’s humid southern climate, locals often turn to this traditional herbal jelly as a way to detox and promote health.It’s made by simmering various medicinal herbs and turtle shell for hours until it solidifies into a jelly-like texture.To be honest, the first bite might surprise you — it has a mild herbal aroma and almost no taste.
That’s why it’s usually served with syrup to add some sweetness.You can enjoy it cold to cool down in summer, or warm for a soothing treat.Feeling curious? Why not give it a try? 🤗
