Mei Heong Yuen Dessert 味香园甜品

Ciaossu people!

Sorry for the huge delay in blogging! x)

Recently, my family and I dropped by our favourite dessert place after our dinner.

 It has been soo long since I last visited the place and I was really excited about visiting there again.

Mei Heong Yuen is located at the Temple street and is less than a 5 minutes walk from Chinatown MRT station. This popular dessert place always has an endless stream of customers, so be warned that a vacant table is an unusual sight. My top few favourite desserts from this place are namely, their almond paste, black sesame paste, carrot cake and yam cake.  Recently, my sister informed me that ultra-fine shaved ice, a highly popular dessert originated from Tai wan, is added to the menu. I waited 2 whole weeks and finally had the chance to taste it that day.

This place looks so foreign, a huge disparity from Singapore's usual tall buidings and shopping malls.
But I really love the vintage oreintal feel of Chinatown.

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert place!!

Mango shaved ice $5
The weather was blazing hot that day. I could barely contain my happiness when this dessert arrived, literally grinning from ear to ear. This Mango shaven ice not only quenched my thirst, but tasted amazingly tasty as well. Initially, I suspected that this dessert would taste a little diluted, afterall, it is made of ice. But I was so wrong. I was in for an intensely fresh and flavourful treat. It tastes so good I couldn't stop myself from scooping for more.

Durian Shaved ice $5 

My family and I had a heavy dinner, and we thought just the mango shaved ice would be sufficient. But all of us couldn't resist ordering another shaved ice. When the durian shaved ice arrived, my family was so eager, they started digging in almost immediately( even before I could snap a photo).  I am glad that the fruits in these shaven ice dessert tastes genuine and fresh, not canned. Also, another plus point is that they are generous with the toppings, with every bite accompanied by rich flavourful durian taste.

The weather was so humid I had no choice but to tie up my small bunch of hair.

Let me introduce this squirrel cat I always see near my place.
I call him squirrel. hehe. 

Handsome boy.
Beautiful fur don't you think? But squirrel is abit old.
I think he's a ragdoll mixed breed.


Lots of love!

Swensen's !

Many tend to assume that a vegetarian diet must be healthy food. However, being a vegetarian doesn't mean having healthy food all the time. I am one apt example who love all kinds of sinful, yet delicious food. However, I do try my best to stay away, and eat these food in moderation.  

During the weekend, I satisfied my cravings for my all-time favourite food vices- ice cream and fries at Swensen's.

U.S Fries and Dips $5.50

 Fries served with BBQ and tar tar sauce.

One thing I really liked about Swensens fries is that they are not as salty as the ones served in fast food restaurants, and is crispy and firm, not soggy and limp. I prefer having my fries dipped in the Tar Tar sauce rather than the BBQ sauce, it tasted heavenly! It was so delicious that we requested for a refill of the tar tar sauce as we wiped the last bit of the sauce with our fries.

Merri-Mint $6.90
As I have a sweet tooth,I have a terrible weakness for ice-cream. This Mint ice cream covered with hot fudge is one of my all-time favourite  at Swensens!  The cooling and refreshing taste of the mint ice-cream is just so irresistible and delicious.  Also, being a fan of chocolate, I really enjoyed the hot chocolate fudge as well. I literally scraped the last bit of the ice-cream as I just couldnt get enough of it. What I think could be improved on is that there should be less cream and more mint ice cream. Also, the cherry tasted artificial.

 Enjoying my ice-cream!

As much as I love the fries and the wide array of ice-cream flavours in Swensens, I wish this restaurant could be more vegetarian friendly. This restaurant holds pleasant memories for me as I frequent there when I was a lot younger. It would be wonderful if there could be vegetarian options within its main courses, as according to the waitor,  none of  it is fully vegetarian as chicken stock is used to prepare the dishes. I wanted to write about this in its feedback form at the counter, but my pen ran out of ink.  I would definitely do so on my next visit there!
