Dessert Paste

Today i came across a dessert shop called Mei Heong Yuen Dessert. Since i heard rumors that this shop is renown for its dessert paste, i decided to order all three flavors of the  pastes which are peanut, black sesame and almond.

First, I decided to give the peanut paste dessert a try. After a mouth full of the peanut paste dessert, i have been convinced that this dessert shop is serve amazing desserts. Just by smelling the aroma of the peanut paste makes my mouth water, having a taste of the sweet peanut dessert makes me feel like I am in cloud nine. The texture of the paste is just perfect, it doesn't taste as grainy as I thought and also not that watery. It is has texture of a thick creamy soup.

The second dessert i tried was the black sesame paste. From afar, I could smell the fragrance of the black sesame. I used to dislike black sesame but after I gave the dessert a try, I am now a fan of it , even though you will have a bitter aftertaste.

Last but not least, I tried the almond paste. Almond itself is a very healthy food as it helps prevent diseases, making it into a sweet paste is like makes healthy living much more easier. However unlike the peanut and black sesame paste, the almond paste has much watery texture and thickness. Although the aroma of the almond was not as strong as the peanut paste dessert, the flavor of the almond is still perfect, not too overwhelming and not too diluted.

In the end, the peanut paste dessert in my opinion is the best dessert compared to the other two as the rich peanut taste in the paste is the flavor I like the most. Although the other two are not my favorite, I still strongly recommend all of you to pay the shop a visit and give it a try.

Although the paste desserts usually are served warm and it is not really ideal to eat warm dessert in Singapore but after eating the dessert, you will definitely feel cooling especially for the black sesame and almond paste. Since eating peanut is very heaty, I recommend everyone to drink plenty of water after eating the peanut paste.

The address of the shop is '67 Temple Street'  in Chinatown. 

In the future, if any of you happen to be in Chinatown, be sure not to miss out on this incredible dessert. Feel free to take a photo of the dessert and share with us!
