Saturday was a hot day, so I wanted to buy some cooling dessert for my family.Since I was at Chinatown, I decided to go to Er Gu Dessert to buy some desserts. The stall aunty was friendly recommending which dessert for cooling purposes.The Almond & sesame paste had a nice aroma of almond but no sesame. The taste was also more of almond than sesame flavour. The paste was smooth and somewhat starchy. The green bean soup smelled of dried orange peels. There was really dried orange peels in the soup. The green beans were boiled until the meat exploded out. The taste of the soup was sweet and some bitterly, sourish due to the dried orange peel.Each cost $1.50 for dine in and $1.60 for takeaway.

I was searching high and low for Er Gu Dessert as my I was told to find San Gu Instead of Er Gu. After a big round walking and exploring the entire Chinatown Complex Food Centre, I finally get to see Er Gu Dessert. The stall was spacious and simple, with not many things stacking up. Neat!As I was ordering I noticed that they had pasted a decal on the transparent shelf that wrote something like "Officially Listed In OpenRice". . Seems very close to heart. The sesame paste looks different than what I thought as the color was not greyish black like those rice ball fillings I had eaten and instead it was brown in color. Sweetness level is alright however I will prefer its peanut paste to this.Peanut paste was more fragrant and as creamy as sesame paste and contained in small plastic disposable bowl. I was told that when Er Gu is still around, each bowl would cost S$0.50 lesser than the current pricing. The stall lady was rather fierce and stand firm on her rights with the "Self Service" Sign even though there wasn't much customers. There was these 2 aunties who were sitting beside us (we were sitting in front of the stall), thought the paste will be served but the stall lady shouted across us and had gave her a ferocious look telling her its self service. There then the auntie then dragged herself up from the seat and collect the bowls.So remember, practise self service. Cost: S$1.50 / bowl

Black Sesame Paste(+) Very thick and rich, maintaining the smoothness and not viscous like typical sesame paste.(-) The fragrance of the black sesame was lacking and that failed to stimulate my appetite before trying.(-) Wanted the almond paste but it was sold out, so this was a substitute.Verdict: 6.5/10Barley with Gingko Nuts(+) Very thick barley soup, almost like porridge, just the type I have been hunting for!(+) The barley beans were boiled till very soft, so swallowing them was no problem.(+) Classic combination with fresh gingko nuts, not the canned ones laden with syrup.(+) Overall a delicacy that is not overly sweet.Verdict: 8.0/10

This stall serves a few types of traditional hot desserts like the red bean soup, green bean soup, sesame paste, peanut paste and yam paste. I have tried most of these desserts and I liked it. This time, i decided to have the peanut paste for the first time. The peanut paste was rather thick in texture with an intense taste of peanut. The level of sweetness was just right though i do prefer it to be slightly sweeter. All the desserts are priced at $1.50 for a rather small bowl. The overall taste was alright though this is not going to be my top choice of dessert at this stall.

Very heavy rain. With no where else to go to, just stay in Chinatown complex to look for dessert while waiting rain to stop.Orders 3 different desserts : Black sesame paste, peanut paste, almond paste ($1.50 each ), as it has been a long time since I last eaten here. Wants to try as much as possible.The peanut paste tastes the best. The black sesame paste is tasteless, just feels like starch, none of the black seasame. The almond paste is ok but feels that not enough the almond's taste.
