The City Hall area doesn't quite have a lot of exciting options for dessert. Luckily H remembered about Noosh at Esplanade. An Ondeh-ondeh cake is exactly what we needed for tea time.

You can find this on most of tables at the restaurant. I love the fluffy pandan cake and crunchy bits of gula melaka. A scoop of vanilla ice-cream may seem a bit much, but it really goes well with the cake. If you think you don't have enough room in your tummy for dessert, trust me. This will go down fast and easy, and you'll be left staring at an empty plate wondering what happened to the dessert that you ordered just a minute ago.

For regular diners of The Malayan Council, if you ask me which place serves a better ondeh-ondeh cake and ice-cream combo, I feel the cakes at both places taste exactly the same.
