This outlet is located in My Village, the new shopping experience in Serangoon Gardens.
This time, I wanted to sample the desserts.
The Chendol Jelly was really awesome! It was like eating the ingredients of Chendol
layer by layer. The top layer was that of the gula melaka and below that were the green 'worm' jelly strips and beans. It was a different kind of experience as I ate the dessert instead of the conventional method of having the dessert.
The other variation I tried was the Rainbow jelly. True to its name, it was multi-coloured
and contained coconut milk as well. The coconut milk added to the taste of this jelly,
that became addictive fast!
Finally, saving the best for last, I tried the Kueh Lopes.
It was really soft and melted in my mouth. It was unlike other types I had tried, which were too hard and tasteless. This one was really good. Despite having being kept chilled, it tasted fresh.
Overall, the desserts were fantastic, though the portions were really small!
Well, as they say, you can't have too much of a good thing.
The jellies cost $0.60 -$0.80 a piece while the Kueh lopes came in sets of 2 for $2.00.
There is a variety of jellies, kuih, cookies and cakes available.
The service is okay, but the staff need to be more proactive.
This is definitely my new haunt for desserts!
