My mom disliked it so much & said it smelled like bed bug! To me it's heaven yet my mom never fails to buy some for me each time she went to the one at Kimberly St... few stalls away from the charcoal char koay teow. The owner is my mother's old friend... Now, the uncle's old and used a cane to move about but you will see him there. :-) I think the younger man behind the stall is his son? The owner told my mother and me that he grounded the almonds mixture with rice using traditional granite/stone grinder. Hard work! That's why it tastes so good. Now, am not sure with modern equipments but the taste and texture of almond tea still the same as I tasted when I was a kid. Even my hubby loves it to bits, would drag me to the stall for couple of bowls and for a foreigner who loves Hin Jin Thng made me appreciated more the uncle's hard work and recipe..:-) <strong>vk: I think, if I tried it when I was a kid, maybe I will like it. But, the smell is just too strong for me lol</strong> I like mine with Gingko Nuts and Yeu Char Kwei. My mom disliked it so much & said it smelled like bed bug!

Some study also prove that it can prevent cancer. Besides the almond tea, the mixture cold dessert (seh guo tong) at kimberly street also famous. Its taste sweet and lots of things inside. Highly recommeded!!! Everyone should try the almond tea because it is really good to health especially for the lung. Some study also prove that it can prevent cancer.
