    Personally, i feel that Ah Chew's desserts are one of the few best desserts that i have ever tasted. Located along Liang Seah Street, Ah Chew originally occupies only one store space. It has since expanded into two store space to accommodate more customers. The overall feel of this store gives one a very warm yet traditional feel. This is likely attributed to the warm lighting as well as the oriental designed glass table and stools.

    Ah Chew employed a slightly different ordering system. Basically, one will have to find a seat first before he / she can order at the counter personally. Of course, bill will also be paid upon ordering. With only a single cash counter, this ordering system has somehow introduced a long queue at the counter, especially during the peak hours.

    Ah Chew has quite a wide variety of hot or cold desserts. Beside the desserts, they have also introduced a few add-ons option for one to customize their own dessert. Take for example, one can even add on ice cream for their mango sago and pomelo dessert.

    Out of their varieties of desserts, I liked their mango sago and pomelo the best. Beside the substantial amount of mango cubes, sago and pomelo, its mango base is also thick and creamy. The mango base is something which i think it’s important for the mango sago and pomelo dessert to taste good and nice. Believe they may have mixed in real mango puree to form this mango base texture.

    However, there is one thing which i think they can improve on their version of mango sago and pomelo dessert. That is to make use shaved ice instead of ice cubes. As the ice cubes do not melt fast enough, one would often taste the ice cubes when eating this dessert. Believe this will no longer be an issue if shaved ice is used instead. :)

    All in all, Ah Chew's dessert, especially the mango sago and pomelo is worth giving a try.

      Ah Chew's Desset is one of my favourite dessert place:) I was first introduced to this place by a friend 3 years ago, and have been a regular customer ever since.

      A bowl of dessert here can cost between $2.50 to $8. Although the price may seem a little steep for a bowl of dessert, I would say that it is worth the price. The desserts here are not excessively sweet, and we can taste the natural taste of the ingredients in it:) I often bring my friends from visiting from abroad here, and they all love this place:)

      Personally, I like the mango sago, honeydew sago, aloe vera lime and steamed egg. The mango sago was the first item that i tried 3 years ago, and what really caught my attention was that unlike most stalls where shaved ice makes up about 70% of the dessert, over here, mango makes up about 80% of the dessert. Comparing the standards with that of 3 years ago, I would say that there is consistency in the taste of their desserts:)

      Though i'm not a fan of hot desserts, I would say that the paste (sesame and almond) here are really good too. If you're craving for some nice, hot paste that's not too sweet, you ought to try this place out as well:) However, to avoid disappointment, do come before 9pm if you wanna try out these paste:) My friends came a few times after 9pm, and it was sold out by then~~

        You could eat everything on the menu at one sitting

        Think I could eat everything on the menu here in one sitting. One of the things that this place got right was less sugar. Everything has only a tinge of sweetness here, and that's to make sure you can taste the flavour of the ingredients. The result - a well-balanced taste in every menu item that will leave you wanting for more.

        Something experiencial that I particularly enjoy here is to make my order in Mandarin. Somehow, it just tastes better that way.
        (Or maybe they did something special for me when I used Mandarin)
        Anyone tried ordering in Cantonese? Maybe the effect would be even better?

        Another thing that I particularly like about the shop is their decor. Pretty, authentic-looking hardwood furniture to seat the customers. But I would not recommend this place to hold your party or gathering here. It is a good place to stopover for what they sell, but sitting there for a long stretch means you are preventing others from enjoying really good desserts.

        Anyway, I can't believe you are still reading this.
        You should be on your way down to try something there!

        Must Tries: mango sago, steamed egg pudding, pulot hitam and just about everything else on the menu

          Sick and tired of cakes and ice cream all the time? It's nice to have more traditional desserts. Ah Chew's is one of the places where I love to have desserts. After 7, it constantly full. The place isn't very big, it seats about 25 people at max.

          Parking here is really a headache too. Even if you choose to park slightly further at Parco you might have to wait.

          That said the ambience in this place is simple and it looks like a traditional Chinese stall 店铺. The people here are relatively friendly but everyone's usually too busy to chat more.

          My two favourites here are the Mi Gua Xi Mi Lu (Honeydew Sago) and the Gui Ling Gao (Herbal Jelly). Both are the cooling sort of desserts. I'm never a fan of hot desserts.

          My friends are always having the hot pastes. :)

          Despite me liking this place so much, I have to give it 4 stars only. It's not really a place to chill with your friends as there will be people breathing down your neck cos they need a seat. :P But come try!!
