Yatkayan Dessert (Fortune Centre)

Yam Paste

A simple dessert with mango ice, some brown sugar jelly and vanilla ice cream, this was a bit lackluster and nothing to shout about. Go for their chendol instead!

Was in the vicinity so I thought to give it a try instead of the usual Ah Chew Dessert which was round the corner as well. The building it was in looks very ulu and I didn’t even know the building was still operating since it was pretty late at night. Until I saw people walking out of the building only then I made my way in. The shop is pretty big with 3 units altogether, compromising of mostly teenagers, likely from the art school nearby. It’s a very homely place but don’t expect to stay long as it was so noisy, could barely hear myself speaking. Desserts wise, the Chendol was pretty good, love the Pandan jelly in the creamy coconut base, along with red beans on the side. The Mango Ice wise, a bit lackluster and nothing to shout about.

Bumped into some MediaCorp artistes here, so I guess this place is quite well known indeed.

Nestled on the second floor of Fortune Centre, I always see a long queue at this quaint little shop and finally decided to drop by. The queue moved rather quickly and I decided to get the Soup Set of 3 (from $5) to try a variety. Chose the (from left) Almond Black Glutinous Rice, Almond Black, and Tang Yuan in Ginger Soup. They came in smaller tasting portions but I thought they were still sufficient for 1~2 pax. Special shout-out to the black glutinous for being one of the better ones out there as well as the ginger soup which was oh-so-gingery. Will definitely head back to try their other items, especially the chendol which I saw on many tables.
