1. Cheng Tng
This Cantonese dessert is a light and sweet soup, served either hot or cold. It was originally a herbal soup meant to ‘cool’ the body down so you would find barley, lotus seeds, honey dates, dried longan inside the soup. Now as a dessert, you can even find lychee, sago, white fungus or even jelly in it.

2. Bobo Chacha
This is a Nyonya dessert with many variations but typically it is served with colourful soft cubes of sweet potato or yam in a sweet coconut milk base, sometimes with sago. There is also a tapioca jelly which is chewy to provide some textural contrast in the dessert.

4. Ice Kacang
This Malaysian dessert, literally meaning red bean ice, is basically just a towering mound of finely shaved ice, previously shaved by hand using a machine in the olden days but now it is all motorised. Nowadays you will find a lot more than just shaved ice and red beans, hawkers typically add attap chee, multicoloured syrups, and agar-agar to provide more variety to it.

5. Frozen Yogurt
A recent addition to the dessert scene in Singapore, frozen yogurt, or ‘froyo’ as it is colloquially called, is simply normal yogurt that has been frozen to give it a texture that is similar to ice-cream. Healthier than normal ice-cream because it’s mostly yogurt and milk is used instead of cream, frozen yogurt has fast become a popular hit among the young in Singapore.
