Another food concept eatery under Breadtalk Group. One would have to go to the counter to order and will be given a 'UFO-shaped beeper' where it would 'beep' for our attention where your order is ready. Then one would have to self-collect the dessert at the counter. I ordered the Signature Chendol. I couldn't understand how and why a foodcourt-like dessert eatery can price their Chendol more than twice ($5.50) of what u can get at foodcourts! Heck, at that kind of price, it better be (darn) good

My order was ready in a jiffy and beeper took like less than 5 mins to sound. Went to the counter to collect my Chendol and to my astonishment, I saw the big sago pearls were all half cooked, with some parts of it still whitish in colour (cooked sago pearls are opaque white in colour). So I asked the lady at the counter "how come your sago pearls are not thoroughly cooked?" Her tone was baring patronizing and reply was blunt. "We were told to cook it that way cos it taste better". Seriously?! Can anyone tell me if half-cooked pearls really tasted better?! U must be kidding me?!
The Chendol came with some soft and sweet red beans, the green "twiggies", 2-3 atap seeds and a few "strands" of jackfruit. The only thing good about the Chendol was probably only the red beans. Is it worth $5.50? Will I return to try other desserts? Hell no!!!
