Ji De Chi Dessert

To have a sweet break, we came to Ji De Chi after walking about an hour. Recipe was actually brought from Hong Kong, their passion was to create more and more mouthwatering dessert for their patrons. Business was growing fast, popular among youngster even elderly. Rich-flavoured snowy ice was a perfect choice to suit summer weather at Singapore, nothing beats having a soothing dessert. Durian paste was heavily laid on the plate, pearls were generously given too. $5.50 was a steep price, but it can be shared up to 3 persons due to huge portion.…Read More

My family and I went to Ji De Chi for desserts one fine afternoon and we ordered Snow Ice, and Mango with Pomelo Sago with Herbal Jelly. The latter is more for my Mum who fancies such desserts better than shaved ice. Anyway my sisters and I digged in with our Snow Ice dessert which came with slices of strawberry and mango cubes. It's quite interesting how they manage to incorporate the flavour into the shaved ice and come up with such a pretty colour. Anyway I like it since it's soft and creamy, a bit like ice cream but without the strong diary taste. The fruits also provide a nice texture to go along with the shaved ice.For the Mango with Pomelo Sago with Herbal Jelly, the pomelo is abit bitter but i guess that evens out the sweetness of the mango "soup". Overall i think i like the Snow Ice range of desserts better for it seems at most dessert shops, they seem to like to pair pomelo and mango together.The service is quite efficient as they always try to find ways for customers to get seats, thus saving on the waiting time. Though it may be inconvenient to some who may end up shifting seats. The food is also served quickly and this helps with the turnover of seats in the small dessert parlour.…Read More

One of my favourite dessert place. The price is considered affordable. Service is great, staffs are attentive however the shop can get abit crowded sometimes. The Sawdust Pudding typically made of crushed biscuits (sawdust) and cream. We ordered the Green Tea Flavour which came with Red Beans. The pudding had 2 layer of biscuits between the cream. Sastifying! One of the flavourite among many customers due to the hot weather was the Mango Flavour Snowy Ice Nata-De-Coco. Value for money and best for sharing with a group of friends! Worth a try!!!…Read More

I absolutely love classic Hong Kong styled desserts. Ji De Chi is one of the many franchise chains that offers the usual shaved ice, puddings, mango-fruity desserts, sesame paste and so on - there's also Mei Heong Yuen and Honeymoon Desserts. I like how Ji De Chi is less fuss-free and straight-forward in their menu selection and has all the simplest desserts which looks unassumingly boring... but lovely to sweeten my palate after a dinner.Almond Paste - $3My disclaimer above is to defend for the interests of my official new favourite dessert at Hong Kong dessert places - the almond paste. It is subtly sweet and has a super almond fragrance. Some people find that almond paste tastes like medicine; I used to think the same too. There's really a psychological barrier you have to get past but once you learn to appreciate it... it's really godly. Definitely recommended for almond lovers. The fact that it's a hot dessert also makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Perfect to counter Singapore's chilly weathers. Blueberry Snowflake Ice - $5.50The blueberry flavour in this lavender-hued icy dessert tastes rather artificial, not for the health-conscious. Snowflake ice desserts are naturally refreshing and there was another dimension to the dessert with the burst of the lychee and also chewy glutinous balls. I wish there were more glutinous balls though. I would recommend the other flavoured shaved ice though.Swing by this dessert shop located at The Marketplace of Jurong Point on the third floor to enjoy Hong Kong desserts served by efficient and polite servers.…Read More

My family and I normally frequent this dessert outlet named Ji De Chi. I normally order the mango shaved ice (my favourite) but we opted for something different and two different flavours – green tea and lime.The shaved ice desserts at Ji De Chi are quite unlike the usual outlets serving shaved ice. Besides adding real fruits to the desserts, they add other ingredients like sticky rice balls, fruit caviars and nata de cocos (depends on which flavour you are getting). The Lime flavoured shaved ice is also a refreshing option as most people won’t think of creating a lime flavoured shaved dessert.…Read More

Mango With Sticky Rice $4.80i really love this dessert of theirs! it is so goood! the chewy skin coupled with the coconut flakes was complemented well with the sweet mango fillings in it.chocolate snow ice the chocolate flavour could be richer as everything except the toppings are made from ice. love the plain mini tang yuans beside as wlel as the chocolate chips toppings on top. sawdust pudding with red beanthey have one of the best puddings ever!! i really love the "sawdust" texture. this is not your usual pudding. when you put it in your mouth, it sort of melts. they were also very generous with the red bean sides. service was also efficient, resulting in a high turnover rate of customers. …Read More

I really love to the icy dessert in JI DE CHI. It is one of the best ever, i had eaten! The sweetness of the dessert are not too strong and yet not the light. The flavour are well spread over the dessert (i ordered a strawberry one). Another thing is that they added pulp into their dessert which is rather special! :) The pulp burst in your mouth while eating! Although the fruits they used are canned food, yet they are all succulent and sweet! :) One thing I really dislike is that the store is too small, we had wait for a long time before our turn! :(Can't remember the pricing of the dessert, but is somewhere around $5.…Read More

Decided to try the infamous black sesame snow ice at Ji De Chi. The dish is a mixture of nata de coco, red bean paste, pearl like jellies, black sesame shaved ice topped with red bean sauce. Portion is just right for a small eater like me. Ji De Chi is always an awesome place for desserts after a meal with my friends or colleagues. …Read More

Had a gathering with 2 of my friends and we decided to come here for desserts after our dinner. We were craving for cold desserts and so we ordered a Chendol Snow Ice and Mango Snow Ice to share! As compared to the typical ice desserts you find in hawker centres, I preferred the snow ice here as the ice are shaved! This means that you won't bite into ice cubes that are not crush properly by the ice crusher and you will only taste smooth shaved ice. I also like that the ice has got a very strong flavor and not like the typical ice desserts where they just pour sugar syrup into the crushed ice. I guess the reason was probably because they took time to make different flavored ice blocks before shaving them into snow ice (so that the ice will have more taste!) and not just pouring syrup into plain shaved ice. Another good thing is that there are a great variety of different flavors to choose from and the ingredients for each ice are fresh and delicious too! Even though the prices of the snow ice desserts are slightly more expensive than hawker centers, I still think it is worth it for the quality and the serving is quite generous (can be shared between 2-3 pax). One thing to note is that there might be some crowd during the period after dinner/lunch time and so some waiting time is required. For people who do not like to wait, it's advisable to avoid this timing. Perhaps you can visit in the afternoon when there's lesser people.…Read More

Usually long queue during peak hours, my friend and I decided to have tea at Ji De Chi, and fortunately there wasn't a lot of people. We were asked to write our own desserts down on a piece of paper, which I thought it was quite environmentally-UNFRIENDLY, since we only ordered for two people. I got myself a Walnut Paste Dessert, which costs only $3.30, but I felt like I finished it quite fast, proving it delicious to taste! :) Chairs were too small though, a little squeezy between the lanes in the restaurant.…Read More

After dinner with my boyfriend and his family, we decided to have dessert because I was craving for something sweet. So we head off to our standard place, ji de chi. I would try different things on my every visit. Durian in Pomolo Sago.My boyfriend order this, and I was like, WHAT?Personally, I have never never like durian because I feel that, there is a very strong pungent smell and it taste weird. My boyfriend tried to feed me with durian, he will never fail to fail his attempt.Hot BeancurdMy boyfriend's mom order this. My boyfriend and I will always get cold beancurd however his mom would prefer hot beancurd and I always fail to find that for her because I know one stall at the east side sell real good beancurd but however is far. His mom really enjoy this beancurd she had at ji de chi and that's her standard order whenever we head to ji de chi.Japanese Steam Moo MilkMy boyfriend cousin order this and it really taste good. It's cold and thick; you really would be able to taste the thickness of the milk.I did not try this because everyone on table said it taste awful so I dint want to try too. It's a freebie so dont expect much.Chocolate shave ice. I shared this with my boyfriend sister. I think it's good enough for 2 pax portion because the serviing is pretty huge.It's pretty one of the best next to the steam milk. I have tried almost every shave ice they have there. Probably this would rank second because the matcha shaved ice taste really good.hot hashima is also ordered by my boyfriend. It's one of the best for hot dessert. It taste sweet and thick.…Read More

FoodMy return trip in a week to taste a different flavour of the Hong Kong's Dessert Xue Hua Bing.Was totally turn off by the color of the pile of snow when the staff served to us. What I see on the menu is not what I get. The blueberry snow flake was lavender in color on the menu and what we had was dull pink. There were not much flavour from this and not even any taste of blueberries. It tastes more artificial. Out of so many flavors I had tried, this shouldn't be on menu as the rest are great.However the chewy ah balling is good and bouncy. Simply love my chews and bites all over it! It went pretty well with the soft silky snow flake.Comes with sweet cubes of nata de coco and lychee flavour q balls. Love the bursting feeling with the q balls. ServiceStaff are warmed and friendly. Service received is fine, especially when we were in the queue, they offered us menu first.AmbienceWas given the firs table with the number tag slanted and pointed out of the table. I took a look at the surrounding tables and realised some of the number tagging are not upright too.In the middle portion of the wooden table, this chinese word is placed there, suggesting it's shop name. Recommendation / TipsI will prefer the chendol flavour to this.…Read More

FoodThis awesome Chendol Snow ice costs $5.50. The cold and creamy desserts also known as shaved snow or xue hua bing had been in trend for quite sometime. The soft pile of snow ice is quite flavourful with coconut taste and having red beans, green jelly and attap seeds as the base which has the ingredients of a bowl of chendol. Sweet sugar syrup was sticky and had cover some portion of the snow. A great way to enjoy one's night over a bowl of cooling dessert at Ji De Chi.ServiceService are fast and prompt as the turn over rates are high.AmbienceYou can always see that there are queues outside the stall and the workers' working pace are considerably fast in the Ji De Chi. Within one of 2 minutes the customers leave their table, they have the table cleared and clean up. Desserts are served promptly after your order was made.PriceI believe the pricing is quite competitive and Ji De Chi has its own market positioning and reputation. Somewhere in the building, we have another desserts franchise and was closed down recently. When the franchise is active, there are no crowds outside the shop as compared to Ji De Chi. Recommendations / TipsThere are number of snow ice flavours. They are all very tasty. I love the green tea flavour as well.…Read More

Being a fan of snow ice, I ordered the Mango Strawberry Flavour Snowy Ice. It was rich in mango and strawbery taste, with strawberry slices and mango cubes. It was drizzled woth passionfruit sauce I think, which added extra flavour to the dessert! There were lychee pearls and rice balls too. I loved the lychee balls, which contained lychee flavoured syrup. It just burst in your mouth.…Read More
