While you’re out discovering the best savoury dishes that Singapore has to offer (you won’t be disappointed!), you mustn’t forget its rich array of sweet treats and desserts, which make for the perfect finish to a good meal. Here are some of the top local desserts you’ve got to try when you’re in the Lion City.

Chendol

Although it originated in Indonesia, this vibrant dish of finely shaved ice topped with red beans and green pandan-scented noodles is a top favourite in Singapore, treating diners to a cooling burst of flavour.

Kueh Tutu

These flat-shaped discs may not look like much, but they’re packed with flavour thanks to a filling made of either a mix of grated coconut and palm sugar, or crushed peanuts.

Ice Cream

It certainly isn’t unique to Singapore, but the locals have enjoyed ice cream for generations and have found new ways to prepare and enjoy it. You’ll find various iterations of it at any street food stall or even the famous restaurants in Singapore, which include the likes of Entrepôt.

Bubur Terigu

This sweet wheat porridge is made by boiling pre-soaked wheat grains in a mix of pandan leaves, palm sugar and coconut milk, and its resulting flavour and texture feel like a warm embrace.

Soya Beancurd

Known as ‘tau huay’ in Singapore, this is a sweetened variety of the savoury soya beancurd from Northern China. It’s smooth, soft and delightfully sweet – the perfect counter to a hearty savoury main meal.
