According to the Chinese herbalist, it is a ‘cold’ stuff and not suitable for daily consumption.

Throw away the seed, it is poisonous when consumed.

Hanz, I always buy it at Giant. It’s sold prepacked (100gms or so) and it’s called buah semangkuk. Do ask the sales personnel for help. It’s sold alongside dried ingredients like biji selasih,green beans, barley.lentils etc..

You should be able to get all the other ingredients for tong sui at Giant too… well, at least for sure at the one in Penang Bayan Baru .
