If you are to unearth gems, obviously you'd have to dig for 'em. Discovering the good stuff in Singapore, especially within residential townships, you'd just have to keep your eyes opened when you're in a car, riding on a bus, or taking a walk. And be brave enough to actually walk up to the store and actually try some.
There may be more than one shop along the same street, serving more or less the same desserts; but they somehow never tastes the same.
This gem of a traditional Chendol, served in a plastic takeaway bowl, can be found on Tampines St 81. http://foursquare.com/venue/3465950This reminded me of the Chendol in Taman O.U.G, Old Klang Road, KL. And it's loaded with a massive dollop of fresh durian mash, complementing the usual serving of shaved ice with coconut milk, gula Melaka (palm sugar), the green Chendol bits and kidney beans. All for the price of S$3.50 only.
This is will have you, or anyone, coming back for more. Especially on a hot, scorching Singaporean day.
(For the anti-durian people, you get the option of Avocado puree topping. Or go without either.)
Honestly, it's to die for.
(Think I'm gonna walk over and get some now...)
