Desserts are not given much attention in some food blogs, I don’t know why. For that reson, I decided to feature a local Singapore dessert enjoyed by many especially during summer. Ice kachang is a mountain of ice in a bowl with sweet jellies, sweet beans and fruits poured with colorful syrups. I like my ice kachang with sweet jackfruit and sago for that extra bite and sweetness. I headed down to Chinatown and went to Mei Heong Yuen, considered as the place serving the best ice kachang in Singapore. The place was packed; I waited for a few minutes to be seated. I ordered the mango strawberry duo and must tell you this dessert looks gorgeous. The 10 minute wait to get a table earlier was all worth it. The yellow color of the mango syrup and the red strawberry syrup dripping from the top of the ice is mesmerizing. There are bits of mango and strawberries at the side of the plate, sweet indeed. The ice they use here is finer than the traditional ice shavings used in regular kachangs. The ice are like thin pencil shavings which gave it a more velvety and smooth consistency. The first few spoons of the dessert gave me brain freeze because I’m afraid that if I ate too slowly, the ice will melt before I finish the dessert. I don’t want to eat a sweet yellow and red liquid out of a plate you know but the ice held its form until I finished the dessert.
If you want to taste and eat the best ice kachang in Singapore, go to Mei Heong Yuen located at 67 Temple St., Chinatown.
ice kachang is one of my favorite local dessert along with cheng tng and the indian ice cream kulfi. i also eat my ice kachang at Mei Heong because the shaved ice is so thin and just melts once you place it in your mouth. i also have it at annie's peanut ice kachang and the peanut they add in their ice kachang are really soft.
