AH CHEW DESSERTS



As you all know, i don't really like to advertise places or things or people in my blog unless i really really think it's good. So far, the only place i've recommended was the ice skating rink in Jurong East (i think) and the Earl's Swensen restaurant.

Both are good, by the way. I swear by my blog. And you all know how fucking important my blog is to me. Oh yeah, it's my life. It basically hold my history and past and everything else about me.

Yeah, that's not my intention in writing this post. I just have the habit of side tracking. Okay so, moving on to the real purpose.

I'm here to recommend another eatery. Well, not really an eatery but kinda like a dessert house.

If you all don't already know about this place, here i am to unravel one of the treasure in Bugis.

Situated just behind Bugis Junction, in one of those stores lies a traditional chinese with a touch of fusion dessert house. It just looks like an ordinary place, with really traditional plain interior designing. Bambo furnitures which look like antiques from the early china dynasties.

When you step into the place, there's an epic feel to it. I really don't know if there's any history to the place but it feels very rustic. Very old and simple.

Do not judge the look of the dishes are with how the food taste like, cause you'll be blown away by how ambrosial the desserts are. Although they are very simple and plain desserts, you can actually taste the different flavours they infuse to get it just right.

Here are some of the desserts that are highly recommended by Fafa, Linsy and I!

Pulot Hitam with Ice Cream



Also known as Black Rice Dessert. The conventional way of eating this dessert is to pour coconut milk on it. You can have it the traditional way or for you youngerster, you can have it topped with ice cream and a sprinkle of almond slices, slighty toasted to crunchy perfection. Cold.

Steamed egg and milk with Chocolate cookie





For the more health conscious ladies, there is a plain steamed egg with milk on the menu. But do not judge its plain interior for a plain taste. It's not too sweet like an egg tart but its not too bland to the tastebuds either. They have a nice balance of creaminess from the milk and the smoothness of the egg. The silk-like texture of the egg just flows down your throat with ease. There's a chocolate cookie one too, but they do not use the chocolate cookie as a whole, more like cookie crumbs but its good. You can choose to add ice cream to this dessert as well. Comes in hot or cold.

Aloe Vera with Strawberry and lime





A refreshing dessert. Best taken when the weather is hot and you need something fresh to cool your body down. The taste of lime and strawberries goes really well. The sourness of the strawberries and the sweetness of the aloe vera really gets your taste buds going. A warning though, once tried, you might crave for more. Cold.

Mango Sago with Pomelo





Looks like liquify mango pudding, but taste so devine. The creaminess of the mango dessert is just nice. The sweetness of the mango did not overpower the other main ingredients of the dish. The sago give you something to chew on while the burst of the sourness of the pomelo refreshes your body and send a slight tingle on your spine. The meat of the mango is like a treasure being hidden under all the other simple looking ingredients. It's soft, and sweet, but not overwhelming. Cold.

Truly divine, dishes worthy of the gods indeed.

Just a word of advice. Those faint hearted should not try the Japanese sweet potato soup, as the overwhelming smell of the ginger will put you off a little. But for those risk takers, enjoy!
