Traditional Dessert With A Twist?

A rich and filling chilled dessert. The thick, creamy, and sticky black rice carries a natural sweetness, elevated by a drizzle of coconut milk that enhances its flavour profile. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it adds extra chill and sweetness. While this dish is typically enjoyed hot, the cold version was surprisingly better. The rice starches thicken when chilled, creating a more pudding-like texture as the solidification brings out a richer, deeper mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly.

A classic dessert featuring finely shaved ice topped with green pandan jelly and red beans, then generously drenched in creamy coconut milk and rich gula melaka. The green jelly was well-made, with a smooth and slightly chewy texture, while the red beans were sweet and sticky. The coconut milk was ladled on liberally, and the palm sugar added a deep, natural sweetness. There was also an unexpected savoury note that made the dessert even more appetising, possibly from salted caramel, which gave the overall flavour profile more depth and appeal.

A trio of mini bowls, Black Sesame Paste, Walnut Paste, and Almond Cream, makes this set a good option for sampling multiple desserts in smaller portions. The Black Sesame Paste was light and smooth, slightly watery, with a moderately nutty and earthy flavour. We were hoping for a richer, more intense profile. The Walnut Paste had a thicker consistency but still felt somewhat watered down; the nuttiness was present, though a subtle sour note threw the balance off. Neither was quite to our liking, but the Almond Cream redeemed the set. It was thick, creamy, and pleasantly sweet.

They say it’s not what you eat, but who you eat with. And while that’s true to a certain extent, for a foodie, flavour matters too. Here at Yat Ka Yan, it’s both where good company meets comforting dessert. It’s a cosy spot where everyone feels like one big family, and despite the long queue, it had a quick turnover rate.

A classic light, comforting and cooling dessert with a sweet lingering taste.

While the price is slightly higher than your average dessert, this particular treat caught our attention and is perfect for sharing. The smooth, milky shaved ice melts in your mouth and is beautifully decorated with an assortment of fresh fruits like grapes, dragon fruit, nata de coco, mango, watermelon, and rock melon. It also comes with a scoop of ice cream, making it your next dreamy dessert to indulge in.

Say what!? Cheng Tng ($3) optimised by ChatGPT!?!? That's right! In this digital age, one can optimise a traditional recipe to perfection using AI, and 433 Cheng Tng just shows us how it's done.

With a click of a button, ChatGPT generates the most optimised recipe suited to one's preferences. In this case, it has been optimised towards an Anti-Aging recipe, maximising the week's intake of collagen and antioxidants in a single serving.

Cheng Tng is served either hot or cold. I chose the cold version, and the ingredients were generous. Red dates and wolfberries added sweetness, peach gum gave a melty, jelly-like feel, candlenut and lotus seed provided a crunch, and the combination of all these ingredients brought this dessert to the right level of sweetness and smoothness. It was a pleasant dessert to have anytime.

An increase of 50 cents over the years, inflation is real. Sigh... But fret not, because having this yummy dessert is still worth it! 🍧 Shaved ice generously drizzled with a large scoop of gula melaka and coconut milk, then topped with green rice flour jelly. It's the perfect chilly dessert to combat the extreme heat.
They got various stalls around SG.

Still one of the best soya beancurd treats around, boasting a legacy of 40 years. The pricing has remained quite reasonable over the years, showing a commitment to customer satisfaction. Let's appreciate that!

Savour with me a hot bowl of smooth beancurd, ladled with sugar syrup and topped with a refreshing scoop of chilled grass jelly. It's a peaceful and comforting treat that never fails to satisfy.
