I wanted to try the "Mix & Match" but I was craving for Ice Kacang, so we got the Ice Kachang ($2.50) and Chendol ($2.50) instead.
The Chendol came with toppings of red bean, jelly noodles and attap seeds. However, we found it to be a little lacking in coconut milk, which was a little disappointing.
The Ice Kacang, with a base of red beans, jelly and attap seeds, fared a little better when it comes to the taste. It was also quite refreshing. However, I found the base ingredient portion to be quite small; the amount of red bean couldn't even fill up the entire spoon!
Service was so-so too. When I went to place our order, the counter lady was inattentive despite me standing there for quite a while trying to catch her attention. If you are dining at Food Republic and just want some of the usual local dessert to complete your meal, then you could consider trying one of their desserts.Post
