Great after-dinner desserts

At Block 463 of Jurong West St 41, walk past a minimart and a comic bookstore: You’ll find Kim Lotus Dessert and probably a long queue too thanks to its great desserts at reasonable prices.

At Block 463 of Jurong West St 41, walk past a minimart and a comic bookstore: You’ll find Kim Lotus Dessert and probably a long queue too thanks to its great desserts at reasonable prices.

While you’re in the shop, you’ll feel transported to the 1990s with that metal counter and television raised up near the ceiling, usually with Channel 8 on display. The self-service system ensures you don't have to wait impatiently to get the server's attention though the queue does stretch a little far especially on weekend nights.

Much to my dismay, they were out of Burbur Hitam and Mango Sago so we had ice cold servings of Cheng Tng and Burbur Chacha instead. Nonetheless, no disappointments there!

 Kim Lotus certainly doesn't stinge on the amount of sweet potato and yam in the Burbur Chacha ($2.20), or any other dessert for that matter. The ingredients were fresh and blended well with the coconut milk in the shaved ice, not to forget the tapioca pearls that add on to the colourful mix in the bowl.

 Light with just the right amount of sweetness, the Cheng Tng ($1.70) was refreshing and just perfect for a humid evening with such a generous amount of ingredients. It sure tasted as good as it looks.

Some other desserts available: Gingko Nut Barley, Mango Ice Kachang (tried and would recommend) , Durian Ice Kachang, Aloe Vera Peach, Soursop, Honeydew Sago, Mango Longan, Tau Suan, Red Bean Soup, Chendol, Grassjelly Drink.

 We ordered ice jelly with soursop @ S$2.20 . The shaved ice mixture with the generous soursop fruity taste gives the refreshing taste of it. Jelly is soft and smooth.

 Followed by Mango milk ice @ S$2.50 . Mango cubes are overflowing on the topping serving. The mango taste is slightly different from the one that we normally tasted in most of the dessert shop. They uses half-ripe mango instead.

 We also had sweet potato longans in hot condition @ S$1.40. The sweetness is just nice for the combination.

Since it is self-service, we find the staff was quite efficient with the customer flow. The shop has minimal decoration and it has ample of seating in and outside, There is a mounted television at one corner of the shop. It is typical neighbourhood place where customers can just sit down and relax for dessert while watching television or chit chatting session.

 Many were also raving about the greatness of the chendol they served. It's worth dying for! Mild sweetness with a pool of ingredients beneath the "ice berg", a total refreshing treat for a hot day! Grass jelly,green strips of jelly and red beans were part of the condiments that make up this refreshment.

Service was quite fast and with queues well managed.

Ambience
Bright and spacious. One can actually peep through the window and see some commotions running in the kitchen. Near to the TV, you can see tubs of jelly being refridgerated and store in the fridge. Posters of HOSEN canned food were sticked on the walls, indicating that they had used them for the fruits.

Price
I will say, you get what you pay. Portion matches pricing.

 Ching Tng is my top favorite item from Kim Lotus. I will order this without fail for my every visit. Why? I simply loves the melting flaky ice on top of the pool of ching tng, a way to pamper oneself over this refreshing bowl of dessert.
Cost: S$1.70

 Glass Jelly Drink is additional for the night as my pal was pretty thirsty after a workout. Cubes and cubes of big cuts grass jelly were sucked out from the drinks and out of it, I managed to grab the seed from the red date. Sweet enough and the packaging is good for people on the go!

Service
Notice that they have placed queues barriers now. In the past, we have issues in queuing up (not knowning the starting and ending point of the queues), now that the setup of barriers had led us to a neater queue, great! The auntie doesnt really communicate much but instead she dive into her work making the queue a fast moving one.

Ambience
A neat and oriented shop with ample of seating in and outside, suitable for a chit chat session to catch up with friends. Moreover they have a mounted TV at one corner which allow customers to enjoy their dessert while watching local television programs.

 Price
The price maybe expensive than the usual desserts but their portion and quality has well explained it.

Recommendation / Tips
Be early, initially I wanted to order Honey Dew Sago but its out of stock when i'm there about 8.30pm.

Self service but service is quite fast.

Ambience
Well furnished shop after renovation. Now it has taken another shop unit, Kim Lotus is more spacious. However, the seats are still not enough due to its popularity, even on a weekdays!

Price
Acceptable pricing.

Recommendation / Tips
Anything that comes with the fine ice mountain is good.
