味香园甜品 Best local desserts in town!

Ate too much log cakes, cookies, ice-creams or macarons during xmas? Why not try some local desserts instead? At least having an extra bowl of black sesame or almond paste will not cause you to have immediate weight gain, as compared to the Regent Hotel chocolate log cakes. The cakes are fantastic but I cannot effort to have more. Cakes and most western desserts have carbs such as flour, caster sugar, corn syrup and fats such as vegetable shortening and butter. However, in most Chinese desserts the only bad thing for us is sugar and I can assure you that this place puts minimum sugar so that you can taste the flavour without having sweetness overpowering the bowl of goodness.

味香园甜品 are famous for their peanut paste, almond paste, black sesame paste and yam paste. Their paste are very smooth and silky. Sweetness level is just nice and the taste is great and wholesome. They also sell Cantonese style rice dumplings, yam and carrot cake, barley bean curd, and some cold desserts such as mango ice. Prices ranging from $2-$3.50 for each item. They only have 1 outlet located at the heart of Chinatown at Temple st number 65-67. It has been almost 2 years since I last went there and their standard remains the same. I think that is why they do not open other branches so as to ensure quality. Go there and try okie? They operated everyday from 10.30am to 9pm and will extend to 10pm on Saturdays.
