Here I am, on Liang Seah Street just across Bugis Street! I might have seen this street in the day, but little did I know it comes alive at night. There are many dessert eateries (Hong Kong style: Ji De Chi, Ah Chew Desserts), steamboat restaurants, and Thai restaurants here too! It's kind of reminds me of Taiwan, somehow. It was a weekend night, and all the dessert places were filled to the brim! Dessert First is no exception. Have to wait for a short while (around 5 mins) before seats were ava
Here I am, on Liang Seah Street just across Bugis Street! I might have seen this street in the day, but little did I know it comes alive at night.

It was a weekend night, and all the dessert places were filled to the brim! Dessert First is no exception. Have to wait for a short while (around 5 mins) before seats were available.
A pity that their dimsum was no longer available at around 8 plus 9pm. So nevermind, as usual desserts first! Or maybe just desserts.
Durian Snow Ice ($6) is their specialty, along with their beancurd but it was too hot for beancurd that day. Definitely a must-try for durian lovers! As for me, a durian noob (who only eats durian sweets and ice-cream), the taste is also quite manageable if you eat the durian paste thing with the snow ice. A good way to nurse a liking for durians for people haven't tried before.
Mango Sago with Pomelo ($3.90, I think!) is the safe choice, because nothing can honestly go wrong with mango and desserts by my standards. Being the safe choice, I think it reaches my expectations but nothing spectacular. So if you have no idea what to order you can always order this!
Glutinous Rice Balls with Red Bean filling and Longan ($3.90) was a warm dessert, and at first I thought it was going to be scalding but hey no! It's actually very warm, comforting but doesn't burn your tongue. The size of the rice ball is also just nice, it is just perfect for one comfortable mouthful unless your mouth is really really small.Dessert First offers quite a variety which I appreciate as a consumer.
