10 Places To Have Desserts
Such an interesting yet pretty dish!
Thanks @sgfoodiary for the invite
Their gula melaka is awesome! Go for their ice cream versions of classics like chendol, pulut hitam and sago because they use coconut ice cream. Bobo chacha is pretty good too!
Gastronomical combination! The yuzu cuts through the heaviness from the salted yolk, and is a refreshing respite from the humidity.
One of my favourite indulgences from Cedele is the Gula Melaka Pandan Cake ($5.80). The moist fragrant pandan chiffon cake with creamy gula melaka mousse sandwiched between and on top the cake plus the coconut shavings on the outside is just pure bliss. Is this worth the calories? Definitely so. Next time when you patronize Cedele, do give this a try.
Several times here and I still find a certain warmth and coziness about this little cafe. Food choices are certainly limited, not the reason one would return for, but I do like it here. Of course, its proximity to my home is a bonus for me :)
Great change from the usual choc lava cake! And the azuki beans jus totally compliments it
When I was in kindergarten, my great-grandma (Ah Chor) would carry me or hold my hands and walk to the Cheng San wet market (it was way bigger before the latest renovation) for grocery-shopping every morning as we lived only a few blocks away. After which, Ah Chor liked to spoil me with a bowl of cold Cheng Tng from this particular stall. I complained to her constantly that I want Ice Kachang because there were no "attap chi" in the boring Cheng Tng. Never once did she give in to me.
However, one incident happened and changed my view of the unassuming Cheng Tng. There was once when my Ah Chor needed to search for some loose change to pay for the vegetables. She let go of my hands and I was tempted to get the Ice Kachang by myself. š
While she was distracted, I braved the morning market crowd and made a beeline for the dessert stall. To my greatest horror, I failed to find the stall despite running a few rounds (I forgot to mention I was only 6 years old). That was when the reality that I had lost my Ah Chor hit me. I cried and shouted "I want Cheng Tng and I want Ah Chor!!" hysterically in Chinese.
After a few minutes of drama, somebody grabbed my hand. There stood the Cheng Tng Auntie, coaxing me to stop crying with a bowl of ice cold Cheng Tng. Not sure why, but I felt secure seeing her. The boring Cheng Tng which I took for granted, suddenly become super sweet and comforting.
And yes, Ah Chor managed to find me in the end. Ah Chor is not around anymore, but I went back to the stall with my grandma and mum recently. So glad to see Auntie still selling the same desserts, served in the same yellow bowl with the same metal spoon. All of us had a brief chat with her and laughed at the above incident which happened 22 years ago. Of course, we had to order her legendary Cheng Tng - the magical dessert that had the power to calm the nerve of the "lost" child. #HawkerPedia

I still remember when I was in secondary school, my mom often brought me here because the army market is located just upstairs, where they sell all the essential items for NPCC, which was my CCA. Also during my poly days, my internship was located really nearby, so I often ate here for lunch break. There are actually so many awesome things to eat here such as the chicken rice and hokkien mee, but I have to say that one of my favourites has got to be the ah balling glutinous rice balls! This stall has been there for quite some time. They sell rice balls with many flavours such as green tea, red bean, peanut and sesame seed. I love that the price is so reasonable (5 for $2) and the rice balls are so big, chewy and filled generously. Beware of the oozing of the fillings though, haha! These glutinous rice balls are then served in either peanut or ginger soup. Peanut is more favourable for me as I feel that it's tasty but not too sweet. Even though I have officially ended my internship, but whenever I am nearby, I would try to make it a point to have this soup! So head over and try it if you love 걤å. Btw it's at #01-75

This bowl of unpretentious old school beancurd (with toppings) was introduced to me by my dear aunt who stays around the area and loves taking me out for good food. Since then we'd visit the stall to end a precious day of catch-up on a sweet note. It is also a must-get when my family happens to be around the area. The smooth beancurd here has an unexplainable homely taste, making it a family favorite. Toppings-wise, I would recommend their red (kidney) beans, as unlike the usual bland, small and coarse-textured red beans you get at bad hawker dessert stalls, the ones here are sweet and wholesome! P.S: this stall is right next to Loy Kee chicken porridge & rice

After 2 misses, I finally got to try the much raved about Gula Melaka cake. It was chewy, dense, fine-crumbed and boldly flavoured with the addictive palm sugar. In fact it tasted deceivingly similar to the traditional 马ęē³, just a wee kueh-er. Topped with the stickiest gula melaka glaze, this made for a wonderful tea cake.
