How to Choose the Right Rock Sugar Syrup – 5 Simple Tips

Apr 26, 2025Ada Lam

Not all sugar syrups are created equal. When it comes to crafting Asian desserts like herbal jelly, milk pudding, or traditional sweet soups (糖水), the right rock sugar syrup can make all the difference. So how do you choose one that’s clean, delicious, and trustworthy?

Here’s how to spot a premium syrup—and why we always choose Ship Brand Rock Sugar Syrup (帆船牌冰糖漿).


1️⃣ Check the Ingredients

Quality begins with purity. A good rock sugar syrup should be made from pure rock sugar, without added glucose, corn syrup, or artificial flavorings. Look for syrups that are clean-label and additive-free—just like Ship Brand’s.


2️⃣ Look at the Color

A high-quality syrup is either crystal clear or light golden, with a gentle shimmer. If it’s too dark or cloudy, it might be overcooked or mixed with other sweeteners. Ship Brand’s syrup has a natural clarity and gloss, perfect for showcasing in drinks and desserts.


3️⃣ Taste It

Great rock sugar syrup should be lightly sweet, smooth, and never overwhelming. No strange aftertaste. No bitterness. Just that clean, mellow sweetness that enhances—not masks—your dish.


4️⃣ Match It to Your Recipe

  • Making drinks like lemon tea or bubble tea? Use a more fluid syrup that blends easily.

  • Baking or cooking tong sui? Choose one that holds up to heat and maintains a balanced sweetness.

Ship Brand’s rock sugar syrup is versatile and consistent, working beautifully across hot and cold applications.


5️⃣ Trust the Brand

Ship Brand (帆船牌), crafted by Yuen Tung Sugar Factory, has over 30 years of expertise in traditional Chinese sugar products. Known for high purity, traditional craftsmanship, and trusted by dessert shops and home cooks across Hong Kong, it’s a name you can count on.


Sweetness You Can Trust

When you choose Ship Brand Rock Sugar Syrup, you're choosing tradition, quality, and a little extra joy in every spoonful. Whether you’re new to Chinese desserts or a tong sui master, having the right syrup on hand makes all the difference.
