Jane Deer

[Bugis, Singapore 🇸🇬]

Fairy Hot Pot 仙女人气火锅 (S$22.80)
Was told that there was 11 different ingredients in it. Nice presentation with the smoke coming from the dry ice which attracted the girl from next table who came over fanning over with her hands. Kind of annoyed that the mum did not stop her.
Served in a milk base, topped with taro paste, mango cubes, pudding cubes, white fungus, rice balls, taro balls, and red beans.
Accompanied with pudding cubes, and black glutinous rice.
Can’t taste the flavours of pudding. The flavours was pretty flat and one-dimensional. Kind of over-priced.

Ice teddy bear with red bean in it, sitting in a pool of milk, topped with red bean, watermelon cubes, and tarp balls.

Bugis has a new dessert option!

Have walked past Jane Deer Desserts many times before we finally decided to try it! Arrived on Friday at past 9pm timing and the place was soooo crowded! They have aircon seats on level 2 too, so head upstairs if they are full on level 1!

Here is what we ordered:
-The Claw Taro Bowl ($9.80): Ordered this because of the cute bear claw (and because I decided not to get the "The Bath Teddy Bear" as that contains red beans which I am not a super huge lover of). Kind of surprised by the size of the dessert when it was served. Initially I also thought the yellow cubes were fresh mango cubes, but they turn out to be mango pudding LOL! This dessert had more jelly than what I expected would have preferred more fruits). The only fruit here was rockmelon, which I thought was kinda weird as an addition to a dessert bowl as the texture was different. Loved the huge scoop of taro paste though! The cute claw is milk pudding!
-Chilled Mango Sago Cream with Pomelo ($6.80): For a less fanciful foolproof dessert choice, we opted for this! This tastes good! (but boring choice la haha)

Take away the instagrammable aesthetics and brightly coloured visuals, the signs were all there when the Curry Fishballs (the only savoury among the tray of 6) was the best item in Jane Eyre’s Six Signs. The Chilled Mango Sago Pomelo Cream 杨枝甘露 and Double Skin Milk were decent but that’s not saying much considering how one-dimensional the rest of the items were. The coconut milk base was flat and pretty diluted in the Blue Crystal Dessert and Taro Cone Coconut Sago, and the taro balls were lacking chew. The Red Bean Paste was promising but could have been cooked longer for a less grainy mouthfeel.

Maybe it’s a branch thing (perhaps the Chinatown branch is better?) or a us thing, but we ain’t vibing man.

Unfortunately not a fan of this. The base was way too milky, and there was an artificial sweetness to it. The grass jelly herb did try to neutralise all of that, but was still insufficient. Nothing impressive about the fruits either.

Rate:🌟

Tried this pretty new dessert place JANE DEER SUGAR WATER along Liang Seah Rd which took over a mala space I really liked. It seems to be a popular brand from China.

Their desserts are on the pricier side for sure. We got their The Bath Teddy Bear ($9.80), Super Multi-Awned Little Round Son ($8.80) and Original Flavor Double Skin Milk ($8.80).

Unfortunately all of the dessert fell short to our expectations and considering that there are so many other dessert shops in the vicinity I would really prefer the others.

The Double Skin Milk tasted like milk powder, the mochi balls were powdery in the middle and the mango sago were felt watered down. Same as the coconut milk in the teddy bear bowl. I have to say that their mangos and taro mochis were the only saving grace but nothing much to shout about either.

I will probably not be back again.
