Ah Chew Desserts (Liang Seah Street)

Order the yam paste ($3.30) & yam sago ($3.80)

Yam sago was good with the generous amount of yam in it.

Yam Paste my friend was fine with it. However, I feel that it was too watery.

Straying away from the usual hot desserts I get here, I picked the 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐎 ($𝟑.𝟖𝟎)🍉 this time! Though refreshing, I found it too sweet for my liking :”)

Cookies & cream haha. Quite weird right? Anyway this was disappointing. The amount of ice is just a bad experience.

First time trying steamed egg as a dessert and we were thinking whether it would taste like chawanmushi or this cai png steamed egg 🤣. We found that it tasted like the egg tart filling but slightly milkier and less sweet. We thought that it was pretty light and the red bean topping overpowered everything, so we would get it without any toppings if we were to get this another time.

Even though it was a Monday night, there's still a queue for Ah Chew and dining time is only limited to a mere 20mins. Desserts were served pretty fast though, <5mins after ordering!

杨枝甘露 is one of our go-to desserts at any Chinese dessert stall! The version at Ah Chew strikes a right balance between the sweetness of the mango and the sourness of the pomelo. The dessert also isn't overly sweet and this makes it really drinkable. However, it would be great if Ah Chew didnt add so many ice cubes to the dessert because it can get quite annoying to accidentally bite on the ice. Great dessert nonetheless for $4.80, although you need to pay an additional $1 to add an ice cream!

Note that Ah Chew has a strict dine-in time limit of 20 minutes at night and their staff will not hesitate to chase you off once you have finished your dessert.

Reowned for their wide range of traditional desserts, this stall has been delighting customers for nearly 2 decades.
.
Perpetually packed with a younger crowd and families (rare to see any elderly), they serve a reliable and consistent rendition of ah balling.
.
The glutinous rice balls are soft, sticky, and chewy, in pink or white hues to indicate the type of filling within.
.
The black sesame paste has a bold earthy sweet nutty taste with a gritty thick feel, while the peanut paste has a nutty sweet flavour with grainy chunky texture.
.
Especially love the warm ginger soup on cold rainy days, so shiok.
