Jin Jin Hot/Cold Dessert (ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre)

This shop is more popular for its power channel and its mango ice.

But I was craving something not so sweet today.

So decided to have the red ruby.

Surprised by how good it was.

👍

❤😤 Very rich and delicious Chendol (S$2). The stall names it Power Chendol. The gula melaka was very thick and sticky. The green jelly was slightly salty which compliments the sweet brown sugar and red beans. You won't find chendol like this elsewhere. Must try 👍👍

Even though Jin Jin is known for their chendol, I surprisingly liked the gangster ice better! They totally didn’t skimp on the massive ball of durian maoshanwang pulp on top, which made the ice really creamy when mixed in, and it actually went quite well with mango. The funny thing is why it’s named gangster ice - because it’s 榴(莲)芒(果)冰 in Chinese, so it’s basically 流氓冰. Hope you cracked up, my mum definitely did!

Jin Jin Hot/Cold Desserts seems to always have a queue, probably because of how generous they are with the ingredients for the cheap price! The chendol is covered with their thick, gloopy gula melaka syrup (almost like a toffee syrup) that’s quite strongly flavoured. For $2, there’s a generous amount of green pandan jelly and beans swimming in the coconut milk.

I have visited this dessert stall many times and amazingly i only tried their Power Chendol for the first time recently (always went for their Gangster Ice).

The chendol was so good! What hit me was the thick and decadent gula melaka atop finely shaved ice, all in its gooey and sticky glory. Complementing that shiokness were fresh coconut milk, red beans, green jelly and attap chee. Oh god, craving for a bowl of Power Chendol now as i’m writing this review, especially in hot weather days like these...

... of Jin Jin Dessert’s Power Chendol. A whole lot of (gula melaka) heaven for 2 bucks at ABC hawker centre.
