17/2/2024 - Dessert
📍 Tong Shui Desserts, Chinatown
🥣 Yam Paste ($5)
Smooth but devoid of sugar. Kind of takes out the joy of eating orh nee. Where's my coconut milk ):
🥭🥣 Red ruby with mango in coconut milk ($6)
Huge bowl, not too sweet but perhaps could be creamier? Maybe it's just me but I would prefer a slightly sweeter version.
Maybe this place is more suitable for older folks as the desserts are really low in sugar.

After dinner @ Hansik, Tina, Andrew & I went to Meet Fresh. We haven't been here in YRS! The place shrunk so much :O it's now like maybe. .. 40% of the former size.
Anyway, we got some things:
The winter season special almond milk tofu dessert; Andrew's winter melon drink; Tina's milk tea (I can't remember which one) & my red bean iced milk slush (?) - lol I think that was the name!
In any case, the name doesn't matter too much, right? It contained a sweetened red bean mixture sitting on top of a milk slush. It wasn't bad; I would say it's comparable to the red bean bingsoo that I really like except this was the watered down drink version. I'm not a sweet tooth but it could really use some sugar or condensed milk. Maybe it's meant to be more mild & more bean-ie but. .. would have been better if a sweetener was added!

Mooncake Festival - September 29, 2003
Traditionally consumed during the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, mooncakes are a type of Chinese pastry item. While moonwatching is allegedly related to the event and mooncakes are considered a delicacy, the festival is mostly about the harvest. While commemorating the holiday, mooncakes are shared among friends or at family get-togethers. As one of the four most significant Chinese festivals, the Mid-Autumn Festival is well-known.
I get way too much happiness from good food. - Elizabeth Oliver
