something sweet?

Craving for a light dessert? There's plenty at the marine parade food centre, which boasts more than desserts of cuz. but for now, how does beancurd in gula melaka sound? pretty weird huh? but its all good i tell u.. just good. i love gula melaka - it might be too sweet for some of you maybe. but beancurd is kinda tasteless, so the combination surprisingly works. It goes for just $1 at Selegie beancurd.


Another recommendation is the chendol. At $1.50, its a refreshing and affordable treat, but it adds alot of calories, so don't have it too often. Chendol in a cup - NICE.
For more tau huay, try the Rochor one at Geylang. It's smooth and slides down your throat. I feel that it's not sweet enough though, and definitely not the best i've tasted (i can almost hear daniel protesting). The one at my place is better. I would have the rochor tau huay again, but I wouldnt drive down specially to get it. if i do, i must rem to ask them for more syrup. unhealthy, but tastes better ;)
To top this post off, fancy some cantonese desserts at the Hong Kong Tea House? Went there with pris and anhua and we tried the peanut and sesame paste, and the glutinous rice balls in peanut paste. The portion is really small and for the price, it's not the best deal out there. I'm a fervent supporter of Ah Chew Desserts. The peanut paste at HKTH was not thick enough for me. But i love the ambience of the place. Its the biggest cha chan teng in singapore, and just a great place to hang out with friends. I guess that makes up for the average food.
