desert time ^^


this shop has got its own distinct form of identification.


smell


smell of durian.

tucked away in a small corner of serangoon garden. the interiors of this place attracted me.
its a very "hongkong like" concept to have shops on the second floor. even though u have to climb the stairs its still worth the effort.
the decorations are simple yet bring u back to the 1980s. with old recorders, hong kong movie posters and little decorations put up to teleport u back into the old teahouse. this place is 24/7 smelling fragrant. even the MTV is lee hom, idol. hehehe....

the picture above is a mix of strawberry, and mango with vanilla ice cream.
i should say satisfactory.
the sugar syrup used should be high quality brown sugar and its leaves the scent of sweetness we get just like when we eat ondeh ondeh. not too sweet. however, i felt that it lacked a bit of flavour as i expected more mango or fruity taste to it.
the fruits are fresh but i guess in singapore we can't get to eat sweet fruits as they are often plucked before they turn ripe.



next up, the jackfruit desert. unique.
not overpowering, and out of the 3 desert ordered i liked this the most.
there are real jackfruit flesh in it.
the sago in the desert is quite a match and gives it the "kou gan" or should we call it the bite.
however, i was hoping that the texture or should we say the density could have been thicker.




this is the source of the frangrance.
durian.
this is moist, with real durian flesh, is smooth and given the taste of coconut milk to enhance the flavour giving it a lift. the durian taste lingers in your mouth but manage to go down smoothly without leaving a stench. which will make u continue having more.
a real gem in the place and i will strongly encourage u to give it a try.
but, it is too much for 1 person to finish as the taste is really like eating durian cream. so pls try to share. but don't give it a miss k.






these are the other special desert that i am interested to try but is too full to order so many, the mango de creme gives me the impression of creme brulee^ which i love to the max. other more innovative desert include durian pancake which is rather pricey (4.90) for a slice if i remembered correctly.







this is a real find. will be back again probably with the gfs.
address 80A Serangoon Garden Way
on the second floor, a lan shop and a bar on the first floor.


auntie note: there is free flow self serve ice water. so keep drinking.
magazines are also available. so keep urself occupied at this place, read for free! jap magazines, hong kong magazines. plus free music. lady serving is very frendly but only speaks mandarin.
