Ondeh ondeh
2013-08-01 134 views
The ondeh ondeh here is quite unique. Its not your normal ondeh ondeh that is green and has a liquid molten gula meleka filling in it. This one has a sticky outer layer just like the normal one, but it is actually filled with shredded coconut sweetened with gula meleka inside. It a really big piece too, so its a full sized kueh unlike normal ondeh ondeh. Overall a unique offering though i prefer the traditional snack.

At myVillage mall, besides retails there are a number of food and beverage establishment too. One of them is Chinta Manis which is located the basement of the mall. Chinta Manis is well known for its authentic, handmade peranakan dishes. Chinta Manis at myVillage has expanded from a humble kiosk to having a sit down dining area.

The Pandan Chiffon Cake ($5.80) was fluffy, firm and moist. Freshly made from pandan juice, the chiffon cake has the natural aromatic taste and bright colour.

Newly on the menu is Roti Jala ($3) which comes in 3 rolls are freshly made upon order. It is a tea time snack which is not commonly available in Singapore. It is available at Chinta Manis only after 2pm.

 The fish net looked crepes, Roti Jala is served with curry, ½ a boiled egg, sambal and Bibik Nyo's hash brown. Chinta Manis makes their own rempah (mixed spices), which is used in the curry.

Freshly brewed drinks, Chrysanthemum Wolfberry ($2), Barley ($1.80) and Tamarind Lemongrass ($2) woth no additional preservatives are available at Chinta Manis too. The drinks are brewed every morning using fresh ingredients from Chinta Manis's central kitchen.

The Chinta Manis outlet at The Village in Serangoon Gardens offers a variety of Peranakan style dishes, in addition to kuih.

On this occasion, we decided to try the Chicken Rendang and Fried Mee Siam.
The Chicken Rendang is served with yellow rice, achar (pickles) and coconut serunding, a type of grated coconut accompaniment. There are two pieces of chicken cooked in a special coconut gravy. It smells delicious, but is a little too sweet. Peranakan dishes usually have a sweetish-sourish taste, but this was more sweet than sour. The Chicken was ok; it could have been better marinated. However, the two pieces were a generous serving, indeed. The achar went well with the dish, but we didn't quite like the grated coconut. It didn't go well with the rice.


The Fried Mee Siam, had the option of the gravy. I asked for the gravy to be served separately, and the staff obliged. It tasted good, both with and without the gravy. The gravy had a lot of tamarind juice in it and had that signature sweetish-sourish. It was more sourish and the gravy went really well with the Fried Mee Siam. The Mee Siam had lots of sliced chives in it. It also contained boiled egg, prawns and diced tofu.

While the Chicken Rendang did not please, the Fried Mee Siam would definitely make me go back for more.

Chinta Manis is a Peranakan Place that offers both Peranakan dishes and desserts.
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!
