Have been visiting Yatkayan Dessert pretty regularly these days but it’s always been a pleasure to be having their desserts — from their traditional pastes to the ever popular Orh Nee and the simplistic Egg Pudding which is so-ever refined, every visit has been either finding a new favourite, to having something familiar that I love.

Pleasantly surprised that they had recently introduced the Yammy Chendol — a combination of their stellar Yam Paste and Chendol all in one package; that sort of item that would certainly catch my attention. One would think that the two would make up a pretty odd combination, but I like how that earthy yam paste still carries ample flavour with an evident hint of scallion oil amidst the Chendol to switch things up a little — gives the Chendol a slight richness and thickness in terms of texture, while the shaved ice comes drenched in coconut milk that’s pretty decadent; all that with the Pandan jelly that provides for a slight hint of fragrance, red beans for a bit of earthiness and sticky, gooey Gula Melaka for just the right degree of sweetness.

Must say that this may come across as pricey to some at $5.50, but the Yammy Chendol comes at a pretty substantial portion — works great to share, or if one had a rather light lunch. Still, this is probably the best of both worlds one can get — something which definitely works well enough for me!
