Winter Melon with Dried Longan Dessert - Make Your Own

One of my buddies whatsapp-ed me a funny story recently... She wrote:

Laugh si wo  (I laughed like crazy)
My mum ask me cut dong gua ma  (My mum asked me to cut winter melon)
I tot is cook soup  (I thought she'll be cooking soup)
I go piak the garlic  (I went to smash the garlic)
Like normally how we cook soup then put (garlic) in the pot  
Suddenly i saw mum take the dried longan.
I got stunned and ask her,"Are you cooking tangshui (dessert) or soup?" 
Mum replied "Tang shui la!" 
So i told her that I thought that she was cooking soup and even piak-ed (smashed) the garlic already!
Mum exclaimed in shock and hurriedly took the garlic out. Hahahhahha!
My mum is so cute...

This made me have the urge to cook Winter Melon too as it helps me cool down from the warm weather. People (including me) usually only consume commercially packed winter melon drinks but did not really thought of cooking it at home. So I cooked and am sharing this Winter Melon Dessert recipe with readers!
