Grass Jelly Shaved Ice ($6.50)
The shaved ice used in this dish was much smoother, but melted rather fast, even when it was all under the toppings.

Blackball is Taiwan dessert and have different desserts but I picked the signature one which has chewy black pearls, herbal jelly, yam, pumpkin in the small bowl. I was given a small cup of milk to pour in if I would like to have the milk taste in the dessert. And I guess that's how it is supposed to be eaten in Taiwan.

The ingredients tasted fresh because I ever tasted bad pearls and their is soft, chewy kind. Their quality of toppings was chewy and tasted good especially the yam and pumpkin, has a soft texture on the outside and chewy on the inside. Overall the herbal jelly came in big pieces which i like to cut them to small pieces to get hold of the milk taste and eat them. The shop also have a conclusive environment to dine in (:

Blackballs seems to have gone budget. Gone are the procelein bowls, in replace with paper bowls. The presentation seems to look like a bowl of soup.

I had ordered their Icy Signature Glass jelly Dessert. The price was $5.40 and the serving was big enough for 2 person to share.

The Icy Signature Glass jelly Dessert had a nice sweet aroma of winter melon sugar. The crushed ice inside also tasted of winter melon sugar. The glass jelly tasted herbal and chewy, not the usual agar agar texture. 

The yam, radish and sesame balls were disappointing. I could see the colour differences but not the the taste. They all tasted the same, bland and floury. 

The whole bowl of Icy Signature Glass jelly Dessert was quite stomach filling that I could skip a meal after having it.

This place is definitely worth the price if 2 people shares one bowl It is also good if you like Taiwan gummy desserts. The fen yuan and pearls are really chewy and juicy. Personally the milk given goes well with the dessert too as it tastes more milky.

While on the lookout for something sweet, I decided to drop by Blackball's newest outlet which is located in Habourfront. With limited seating area of not more than 20, I decided to pack a bowl back home to be shared with Mr Heng, my forever food partner.Packed with ingredients, it is definitely a bowl which you should be sharing with friends!

Packed with ingredients, it is definitely a bowl which you should be sharing with friends! A mixture of taro balls, red beans, pumpkin and sweet potato balls atop slow grass jelly. You are giving a choice to have it as it is, or to add milk into the dessert to give it a milky creamy taste.

I personally like mine with a bit of milk even though it is a little sinful

The entire dessert is a little too sweet for me, so I guess the next time back I would ask for a "less sweet" option.

The taro balls do come by a little too starchy, to the point where it doesnt really taste of yam. Quite a pity since yam chunks would have been awesome!

VERDICT
This is a ok place to head down for desserts if you have a sweet tooth! For me, I think I shall just stick to my favorite traditional dessert stalls in hawker centers.

While looking at their menu, their "Boba" Milk Tea piqued my interest. For those who don't know, "boba" in Chinese means...a woman's chest area, hence I was guessing that perhaps it was actually papaya milk tea as some girls swear by papaya milk shakes to make themselves bustier. Anyway, I checked with the staff what exactly it is and it's actually just pearl milk tea. "Boba" Milk Tea $3.60While $3.60 is quite pricy for a cup of milk tea, BlackBall's cup is actually quite tall hence it justifies

"Boba" Milk Tea $3.60
While $3.60 is quite pricy for a cup of milk tea, BlackBall's cup is actually quite tall hence it justifies the price. Although it's stated on the menu that it's a 'must-try', I feel that the milk tea is okay only. I had the 30% sugar level which is slightly sweet only. The pearls are nice and chewy. Think I'll just stick to their desserts in the future instead of buying their drinks.

Ever since I was introduced to BlackBall at Star Vista, BlackBall has been constantly on my mind. I was thrilled when BlackBall subsequently opened a stall at Harbourfront. Imagine bigger seating area, air-conditioned and less crowded than the Star Vista outlet. Try the Blackball Signature. It comes in Icy, Cold, Warm or Hot. It's the most expensive item on the menu at $5.40 but it comes with nearly all the toppings available. Essentially what you get is ultra smooth grass jelly, Yam Q, Golden S

Ever since I was introduced to BlackBall at Star Vista, BlackBall has been constantly on my mind. I was thrilled when BlackBall subsequently opened a stall at Harbourfront. Imagine bigger seating area, air-conditioned and less crowded than the Star Vista outlet. Try the Blackball Signature. It comes in Icy, Cold, Warm or Hot. It's the most expensive item on the menu at $5.40 but it comes with nearly all the toppings available. Essentially what you get is ultra smooth grass jelly, Yam Q, Golden Sweet Potato, yam balls, sweet potato balls, red bean, pearls and some creamer. Eat them together, they are a joy to eat! Beware, they can be addictive!

My personal favourite is Blackball Signature in Icy. It is perfect for Singapore's weather- refreshing, cooling and full of contrasting flavours and textures. Soft jelly, chewy sweet potato and yam balls, and nicely cooked yam. It's so good that you have got to try it! On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend Blackball Signature-Hot because it felt like the grass jelly was melting into grass jelly soup which was a bit weird.

Blackball also has other offerings that are very popular including the "Jiu Fen" Taro Ball Crushed Ice and Honey Yam Crushed Ice. They also offer various types of bubble tea and my personal favourite- Grass Jelly with Fresh Milk ($4.50)! There are plenty of various offerings to tickle everyone's fancy. Also, Blackball has its own rewards system with Perx where you can get "loyalty" stamps via the QR code on your receipt. Enjoy!
