Ji De Chi Dessert (Century Square)

surprisingly prominent black ssm taste!

there was a v odd pairing of texture and enjoyed these components seperately.

This franchise is better known for their towering snow ice desserts, but they also serve traditional desserts.
.
They have the largest glutinous rice balls I've seen, either that or it's an optical illusion brought about from the small bowl. With a soft chewy sticky texture, and pink or white hues to indicate the type of filling within.
.
The black sesame paste has an earthy sweet nutty taste with a coarse creamy texture, while the peanut paste has a nutty sweet flavour with a fine chunky texture.
.
Love the warm ginger soup with its herbal sweet spice flavour, so comforting. Heed their reminder to eat desserts!.

This is one of our favourite ice shavings for a sweet treat - the durian snow ice at Ji De Chi! For only $7.90, you get a towering block of durian-flavoured ice shaving, which does not taste very artificial (unlike Mac's durian mcflurry) and really has the taste of durian imbued! This is coupled with a scoop of real durian puree at the side which makes the dish really worth it!

One minor point is that you are unable to choose your toppings, and for the durian snow ice, you only have the option to go with the QQ balls for your dessert! Not too bad, but we would prefer to have a choice though!

Filled with mango compote and black glutinous rice, this rice roll was interesting, but not impressive. The flavours did not really blend well together - an combination of overly sweet mango cubes and a rather bland (and stingy amount of) glutinous rice. Both ingredients were not spread out evenly in this rice roll either. Further, the rice roll itself was a tad thick, which made it difficult to chew and swallow without overwhelming the mango/glutinous flavours.
Rate:🌟🌟

Loved how the mango flavour was strong, yet not too sweet. The sorbet had a good soft and creamy texture to it - yet still retaining its slight icy-ness unlike an ice cream. Mango cubes, sago, and nata de coco went well with the overall flavour. A good alternative for those looking for something that’s not their snowy ice and a dessert slightly smaller!
