Came here after a delightful dinner at Lian. Not wanting to wait for the freshly assembled western desserts, we opted for a Mango Lover ($30) (fresh mango, mango ice cream, black tapioca pearls, nata de coco, mango puree, and 'popping sago') and a Chinese sweet Beansheet soup (fu jook tong shui) ($20)which had egg white, barley (lots) and ginko nuts. Both of these desserts are 'Chinese' style desserts. They were quite large in portion and we couldn't finish either of them. My fu jook tong shui w
Both of these desserts are 'Chinese' style desserts. They were quite large in portion and we couldn't finish either of them. My fu jook tong shui was plentiful in egg white and barley and thus very filling, but too sweet. It became sickly sweet half way through and so I couldn't finish it.
The mango lover on the other hand was pretty good. There was these innocent looking sago, but when you bit into them, they 'popped' and made a cracking noise in your mouth which we thought were swell =) I did ask what they were called but the waiter told me it was nata de coco, something I am sure these were not. Would recommend to order this just for the (newly named by me) 'popping sago'.
Other patrons around us also ordered the fu jook tong shui and the many other western desserts available here. We vowed to return for the deep fried ice cream and apple crumble!
