Yummy-licious!

The different types of paste. Almond, Sesame, Walnut. They have been recommended by local food critics.

The Menu.

Admit it. We all love sweet stuff. But don't you just get sick of eating the same old ice-creams and cakes all the time?

Not a problem. Come down to Singapore and indulge in some traditional Asian desserts!

Located at the New Bridge Road end of Temple street (Chinatown) sits a quaint little store called Mei Heong Yuen Desserts (味香园甜品), which serves many traditional chinese desserts full of local flavour.

(Mango Sago with Pomelo)

One of the must tries is Mango Sago with Pomelo (杨枝甘露). Fresh mango cubes in a thick, creamy mango puree, full of wonderful mango fragrance. Unlike other stalls that serve the dessert with very sweet mango puree, the stall owners make sure that the sweetness is just right. Of course, the dessert is only made complete when served with sago pearls and the mildly sour-bitter, very juicy flesh of the pomelo fruit, which serves as a balance to the mango's sweetness. Extremely refreshing, this dessert is served chilled, definitely a plus in Singapore, where the weather is just so damn hot!

(Yam Paste)

Yam paste (also known as orh-nee), a traditional sweet teochew dessert is also one of the most popular desserts here that the customers love. The paste is smooth and sticky without being too oily(oil is needed to keep the yam paste smooth). Topped with pumpkin cubes and ginko nuts, the combined flavour of the three lingers in your mouth! So sinfully sweet, it surely doesn’t lose out to those served in expensive teochew restaurants!

(Chocolate flavoured Snow Ice.)


(Mango Flavoured Snow Ice.)

The famous mango snow ice a hot favorite. This dessert is uniquely different from other local dessert stalls that use rough shaved ice (which results in an unpleasant chunkiness).The ice is finely shaved and extremely smooth, so good it melts in your mouth! Full of wonderful mango aroma, with hints of sourness for that extra kick. For those who get sick of ice cream, why not have a try of this? The taste of the snow ice is much smoother compared to ice cream, moreover, for those who dont like the taste of milk or lactose intolerant in ice cream, you will surely love this dessert!

(Almond Paste)

Next, indulge in a bowl of delicious almond paste, just another one of those sweet desserts the Chinese are so famous for. Rich, creamy and silky smooth, it will leave you wanting for more. This dish is served hot as it brings out the delicate scent of almond. Delicious will be the right word to describe this highly popular dessert.

(Ginkgo Barley)

The ginkgo barley they serve is superb as well! The lightness" and the mild sweetness will be the reasons that make the dish so popular. It can be served either hot or cold, both ways brings out a distinct taste of the combination of ginkgo nuts and barley.

All in all, this stall, located at 67 Temple Street will surely be one of the choices to go when you visit Singapore!
