Black sesame soup (芝麻糊) is a traditional Chinese dessert known for its smooth, velvety texture and deep, nutty flavour. Made from black sesame seeds, rice, and sugar, this warm and comforting dessert is often enjoyed during the colder months or as a nourishing treat year-round.
Black sesame soup has a thick, creamy texture that coats the palate with a rich, roasted sesame flavour. The earthy aroma and naturally sweet taste make it a satisfying yet light dessert. Its deep black colour adds to its unique appeal.
Beyond its delicious taste, black sesame soup is also believed to have health benefits. Black sesame seeds are rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential minerals like calcium and iron, which can promote healthy skin, hair, and overall well-being.

When I was a kid, I used to follow my grandparents to a dim sum restaurant to have breakfast together. I always wanted to get one bowl of black sesame soup. The warm, nutty aroma and silky texture made it my favourite part of the meal. Even now, every spoonful brings back memories of those cozy mornings spent with my family.
One of my favourite places to enjoy black sesame soup is "Ming Court Hong Kong Dim Sum Sdn Bhd". They serve it freshly made with a rich, deep flavour that reminds me of childhood mornings.
