There was no cheng tng in the cheng tng. 😅 Nonetheless, it was a refreshing bowl of dessert. Do note that crushed ice cubes instead of shaved ice were used so it was rather difficult to eat. …

Loved the desserts here! Everything was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The sweetness was just right, and the staff were friendly too. Definitely worth coming back for more!
Rahul
Very generous with the variety of ingredients they used! Surprised to find strips of dried permission and even sweet potato chunks in it! …

Now comes with less sweet and no sugar options! Damn amazing that we can still enjoy the same tasty dessert and not consume too much sugar. Really kudos to the owners who thought of this and kept the business growing till this day. Really happy with my bowl today :)
