My customer living in Macau and shuttling back and forth to Hong Kong told me about this Chinese concoction called Kwai Ling Ko. She says all the movie stars and pretty people eat Kwai Ling Ko so they can achieve super clear skin. She says Kwai Ling Ko is composed of some 18 herbs plus “turtle jelly” from farmed tortoises.
Ah, a possible cure all for my brother’s eczema / psoriasis / dermatitis / dry skin.
I checked the internet and stumbled onto some sites like http://www.creationsdessert.com/kwailingko.html
Kwai Ling Ko made from traditional Chinese herbal medicine helps detoxify the stored poisons in human bodies. Researches have proven the turtle shell extract will detoxify body, greatly enhance skin healing power, clear acnes, ease hot flush and is an all around great herbal dessert.
Kwai Ling Ko is also perfect to cure dry skin, skin aging and treat black/white heads (acne). Kwai Ling Ko is especially good for people who suffer from insomnia, dry mouth, skin rash, muscular pain and cold sores. It will make your mouth and stomach feel cool and fresh and leave your skin glowing.

Go to Kung Wo Tong in Mongkok and try the chinese herbal tea. Hong Kong people like to drink chinese herbal tea because it’s good for your health, especially after having too much fried, and spicy food. It’s supposed to get the ‘hot air’ out of your system. If u dare, try the famous ‘kwai ling ko’ which is a dark jello made of many kinds of chinese herbs w/ turtle shell. My friends from the states like the herbal tea but the jello is just beyond their capability ahahhah.
