I absolutely love classic Hong Kong styled desserts. Ji De Chi is one of the many franchise chains that offers the usual shaved ice, puddings, mango-fruity desserts, sesame paste and so on - there's also Mei Heong Yuen and Honeymoon Desserts. I like how Ji De Chi is less fuss-free and straight-forward in their menu selection and has all the simplest desserts which looks unassumingly boring... but lovely to sweeten my palate after a dinner.Almond Paste - $3My disclaimer above is to defend for the
Almond Paste - $3My disclaimer above is to defend for the interests of my official new favourite dessert at Hong Kong dessert places - the almond paste. It is subtly sweet and has a super almond fragrance. Some people find that almond paste tastes like medicine; I used to think the same too. There's really a psychological barrier you have to get past but once you learn to appreciate it... it's really godly. Definitely recommended for almond lovers. The fact that it's a hot dessert also makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Perfect to counter Singapore's chilly weathers.
Blueberry Snowflake Ice - $5.50The blueberry flavour in this lavender-hued icy dessert tastes rather artificial, not for the health-conscious. Snowflake ice desserts are naturally refreshing and there was another dimension to the dessert with the burst of the lychee and also chewy glutinous balls. I wish there were more glutinous balls though. I would recommend the other flavoured shaved ice though.
Swing by this dessert shop located at The Marketplace of Jurong Point on the third floor to enjoy Hong Kong desserts served by efficient and polite servers.
