Mei Heong Yuen Dessert

While this bustling dessert store at Chinatown has the usual suspects of glutinous rice, herbal jelly and a variety of pastes, it also has a surprising number of "snow ice" desserts – towering shaved ice mountains that come in unique flavours like soursop, mocha, sesame and milk tea. For those who are also looking for a mid-day snack, it offers traditional steamed yam, carrot and pumpkin cakes, as well as dumplings and chee cheong fun.
