Best traditional desserts in Singapore

The craziest reinvented traditional dessert I’ve had is probably the Mr Bean cocktail from local bar Jekyll & Hyde. While I was impressed by how the cocktail made with Lao Ban beancurd, vodka, kaya, and Frangelico tasted, it’s not something I’d crave all the time, unlike a good old bowl of red bean soup or cheng tng. For these old-school treats, here are the stalls where you can get the best traditional desserts in Singapore.

1. Within The Walls Dessert Bar

Easties are lucky to have Within The Walls Dessert Bar, a retro cafe decked in 80s Hong Kong pop culture decor. Their menu is pretty expansive, so if you don’t know what to get, we recommend getting the Steady Bom Pi Pi Strawberry ($14.80) for starters, a refreshing snow ice dessert topped with fresh strawberries and a dollop of yoghurt, which was the key ingredient in this. Another one worth trying is the Mango Sago with Taro Balls ($7.90), where the chewy taro balls give some textural variety to the otherwise creamy and velvety dessert.
