Herbal desserts

Foong Woei Wan recommended some places which sold Chinese desserts to be consumed especially on a hot summer's day. The Pear Soup at $3.80 sounds cheap and worth trying. I'm also a fan of these sweet and refreshing desserts. I have a few favourite outlets to get them from.

Chinatown is famous for these. There is a small shop that offers Sesame Cream and Walnut Cream among its many items. I can't remember its name but it has opened another outlet in Basement One of Bishan's Junction 8. Majestic Building has a Chinese medical store on the first floor which has very good Herbal Jelly. It is a big portion and would be ideal for two people.

My personal favourite is Chong Hoe Medical Store(next to MacDonald's) in Serangoon Gardens. It has a glass cabinet with various desserts. I usually purchase Snow Jelly Dessert, Rose Chrysanthemum Tea, Ginseng Snow Jelly Dessert and Chuan Bei Almond Drink. Most of them are contained in plastic cups with lids but some are in bottles. The price ranges from $2.50 to $6.
