Has been quite a while since we had heard about Jin Yu Man Tang Dessert 金玉满堂甜品 expanding their operations — it seems that these folks had recently opened the doors of their new location at The Linq @ Beauty World. This would be the new mixed-use development that is situated within walking distance and directly connected via an underground linkway to Beauty World MRT Station along the Downtown Line; they are located along the same stretch of shops where one can find Offsite, and are neighbours with the outlet of MIXUE Ice Cream & Tea there. Their The Linq @ Beauty World location is their smallest location thus far though it does feature a mix of indoor and outdoor seating given how the shop units at The Linq @ Beauty World are designed to be. As with what they had been offering thus far at their Katong and Chinatown locations, Jin Yu Man Tang Dessert’s menu is segmented into sections dedicated to Double Layered Milk Pudding Series, Ginger Milk Pudding Series, Peach Gum Series, Gum Tragacanth Series, Fried Custard Series, Sago Milk Series, Local Desserts Series, Chinese Herbal Jelly Series, Taro Ball & Jelly Series, Mango with Mini Rice Ball Series, Milk with Clear Jelly Series, and Snacks.

One of the items that we had not recalled seeing during our previous visits to Jin Yu Man Tang Dessert’s locations at Katong and Chinatown would be their Flower Double Layer Milk Pudding; this would be an item that is listed in the Double Layered Milk Pudding Series section of the menu. Whilst the Flower Double Layer Milk Pudding does come with a pinkish aesthetic, there is a Matcha Double Layer Milk Pudding that comes with a similar look with a green aesthetic instead. Served chilled, the Flower Double Layer Milk Pudding features its usual Double Layer Milk Pudding with an infusion of a pinkish liquid that sits atop the pudding; it also features a carving of coconut flesh in the form of a flower that sits atop the pudding. The Double Layer Milk Pudding is pretty much what one would expect here; a smooth curd that is almost liquid — soft and nearly molten and glides down the throat pretty easily, whilst carrying a slight eggy note without being particularly sweet. It is interesting that the floral infusion of flavours does come rather light-handed whilst coming with a saltish note — perhaps to introduce a different dimension of flavours to the Double Layer Milk Pudding while the coconut flesh atop comes chilled almost to the point of frozen; likely to keep things fresh whilst preserving the shape of the carving as well.
