If you've watched the Mediacorp Channel U reality tv game show "Buzzing Cashiers" (抢滩大行动), you'll most likely recognise the owners of Bee Garden. From what I understand, they were the winners of one of the season of the show! At least that was what propelled my mom to check out the stall. But unfortunately they only open in the afternoon and she finally got her wish after 3 tries! 3rd time lucky! So remember not to go too early!This stall is not new at the Commonwealth Crescent Market. They were
This stall is not new at the Commonwealth Crescent Market. They were around even when the stall was still at the old market, prior to its upgrading. The family business has gone through quite a tough patch but the mother and son team can be cranky but they do make fantastic dessert!
My personal favourite is also their best selling dessert - its ice mango pomelo dessert! The pomelo is fresh and each one burst its juice with every bite. The mango too is sweet and a perfect contrast with the slightly sour bites of pomelo. My mom also didn't resist trying the durian penyet! But they are definitely better eaten on the spot as the shaved ice are smooth and soft and wouldn't survive well with travelling or refreezing.
We also tried the ice bo bo char char which uses melted gula melaka dressing on the ice shaving. The dessert of yam and sweet potato is usually eaten hot but the hubby does love this cold as well! They are one of the few place I've seen that offers this. And you bet, it's yummy!Did I mention that the hot desserts are under $1?! Definitely cheap and value for money too!
