Ah Chew Desserts

Just a few stalls away from Tong Shui café – there’s only one word to describe this place – shiok. Thanks to Eugenia and Sue Ann, I have found dessert haven. Traditional Cantonese and Chinese desserts can be found here, ranging from hot desserts such as almond cream, sesame cream, peanut cream and red bean paste ($1.80 for small, $2.30 for regular). The red bean paste is v special, its cooked with orange peel and lily bulb, hence its fragrance. The peanut cream is sieved before its served, thus what you get is a smooth peanut paste which you wont get tired of eating because there is minimal oil. I polished mine off in about 1 min or so. For mango-lovers, there is no better recommendation than to try their mango sago ($3.50) or the mango sago with pomelo ($3.80), better known as 杨枝干露, a Chinese New Year dessert. The coconut milk is refreshing, along with the slightly chewy sago (tapioca balls), fresh mango and bits of pomelo that gives a tinge of bitterness to the otherwise sweet dessert. The almond cream and red bean ice with ice cream ($3.00) are most famous here. The red bean ice ($2.50) tastes like ice kacang, only that its served in a glass like in Hong Kong. Apparently, the owner of Ah Chew could not find similar desserts that he had in China over here, and hence set up this dessert stall. How enterprising, and how benefiting for us, especially me ;)
