The ‘Lo Han Kuo’ fruit, also known as monk fruit, is popular in traditional Chinese medicine. Malaysian usually use ‘Lo Han Kuo’ to make desserts or cook it whole as herbal tea and served with ice and longan. It is so refreshing and chilling for people like us who live in this extremely hot and humid weather of Malaysia.

There are many places that sell this ‘Lo Han Kuo’ herbal tea in Melaka but we found there is a stall that serves a thicker, richer, and reasonably priced herbal tea compare to other stalls.  That is a roadside stall that sells ‘Lo Han Kuo’ at Jalan Kee Ann. We can easily spot the stall as the it is has a red colour signboard and decorated with some photos of the monk fruit.

Moreover, it provides many health benefits too. It is good for soothing the throat, people who are experiencing a cough, providing anti-inflammatory properties and improving heart health. In conclusion, it is a must to have a bowl or a cup of iced ‘Lo Han Kuo’ herbal tea in Melaka.
