hawker (dessert) 🍧

An authentic, old-school dessert stall! Lady boss can get quite grumpy if you’re indecisive. Portions are small with few ingredients even though each bowl ($1) is very affordable. Loved the bubur terigu with all its chewy bits inside but I’ve had better chng teng elsewhere!

Prices have risen slightly ($2 for 4)! The skin was thick with only a thin layer of filling for the peanut ones, but the coconut version was generous with sweet desiccated coconut.

A hastily snapped photo so that the kuehs could be gulped down while they were still piping hot! These are by far the most expensive tu tu kueh I’ve had ($3.50 for 5) but such stalls are few and far between that I’d close two eyes and pay for them. The dough is a little too dense and thick, but the fillings are incredible - the peanut has a slight salty tinge whilst the desiccated coconut was coated with gula melaka!

Locals will find the prices here exceeding steep, but I’m always surprised to find that the food here is actually good! The chendol ($4) is one of our favourites - they’ve kept it simple with beans and pandan jelly, but the amount of gula melaka and coconut is sure to impress you!

Popped by for a snack whilst I was in the area! This mixed muah chee ($3.50 for medium) came highly recommended, and it definitely lived up to expectations. Pillowy soft and perfectly chewy! Was great that the peanut and sesame weren’t too sweet, although I could do with more toppings.

A homemade bowl of goodness 🌟 the tauhuey ($0.70) is perfectly smooth. The cane sugar syrup had a slight herbal taste to it!

A little bit pricey, but this bowl of cheng teng ($2.20) is chock full of goodness. Apart from the usual white fungus, ginkgo and barley, it also sea coconut, candied ginger and flour balls! Also look at how rich the soup is!! 👍🏼
