Tong Shui Dessert @ People's Park Centre 🍧🍧🍧 If you're a fan of traditional hot and cold desserts, you must check out this place! During our visit, we ordered four different desserts to try, and we were not disappointed. Firstly, it was the Ice Jelly with Soursoup ($3). The ice jelly had a refreshing, cooling effect on our taste buds, while the soursop added a tangy and slightly sweet flavor that complemented the jelly perfectly. It was a great choice for a hot day! We tried the Chendol ($3). The dessert consisted of green jelly noodles, coconut milk, and gula melaka. The chendol was with just the right amount of richness from the coconut milk and sweetness from the palm sugar. Next, we had the Mango with Japanese Jelly ($4.50). The mango was ripe and juicy, and the Japanese jelly had a slightly chewy and jelly-like texture. Last but not least, we ordered the Almond Paste with Barley Ginge Nut ($4). The barley and ginger nut add a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the dessert, while also providing some health benefits. We'll definitely be coming back for more!

Nestled within the bustling People's Park Complex on Level 2, Tong Shui Desserts offers a delightful escape for those seeking a sweet treat. We sampled the peanut soup with a rice ball, which was a comforting and satisfying combination. The taro paste with pulot hitam and a gecko was also a unique and flavorful choice. While the desserts are not overly sweet, they are refreshing and light, making them a perfect choice for those who prefer a less sugary dessert. The overall experience was good, and we appreciated the relaxed and casual atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a light and refreshing dessert in the heart of the city, Tong Shui Desserts is a good option. Just be prepared for a less sweet experience than you might find at other dessert shops.

Tong Shui Desserts offers a variety of traditional Chinese sweet soups and desserts, made with fresh ingredients. The desserts are flavorful and comforting, making it a great spot for a light, satisfying treat.

It gets crowded during lunch time, so get in early before the lunch crowd finishes the main meal and head for dessert here. There’s a good variety of desserts on offer including the more traditional Cantonese desserts. The tau suan was ok, not overly sweet but it was quite starchy and the beans had almost not bite left. The yu zha kuay was just limp and sad. But the cold Cheng Tng was delightful. Had a lot of elements in there (as should any good Cheng Tng) to please.

I've enjoyed every dessert choice I've had here in my various visits. I also witnessed friendly and willing customisation to requests to have lower sugar in some cases. This place is definitely highly recommended!

The walnut black sesame no 16 at $4.50 is a great try. The walnut mixed with red bean no 25 at $5 is another worthy shot!

Located in the bustling People's Park Centre, this Tong Shui outlet offers a nostalgic taste of Hong Kong-style desserts in Singapore's Chinatown. Their menu features all the comforting classics - the mango pomelo sago bursts with fresh tropical flavors, while the black sesame soup remains a rich, aromatic favorite. What sets this branch apart is its slightly more spacious seating compared to other outlets, though it still maintains that characteristic no-frills, old-school charm. Service is typically efficient during off-peak hours but can slow down when crowded. Prices remain wallet-friendly, with most desserts priced between $4-$6. While not innovative, they deliver consistent quality in their silky tofu puddings and warm sweet soups. A solid choice when you're in the area craving traditional Cantonese desserts, though don't expect air-conditioning or modern ambiance. Perfect for a quick sugar fix after shopping in the complex.

We ordered gingko nut and green bean soup. The green bean soup is so sweet and when I bring it back to the cashier, she said it is sweet as its the end of the day and just insisted that I dilute it with a bowl of water and left. The gingko nut barley was not sweet at all in comparison.. I decided to leave it and not risk my health since diluting it means having the whole bowl but with more water?? Sharing the bad experience.

Affordable desert and had the green bean soup. The dessert is soupy & not too thick in taste. Personally prefer Cantonese style & thicker texture than this version. Payment by cash if order at the cashier counter.

always walked past and noticed quite a crowd so decided to give it a try this time. the black sesame paste ($4) was a showstopper — it was hard for me to imagine how good it was, but it was. it was smooth, fragrant, not overly sweet, not bitter or gritty. the soursop jelly ice ($4) was average — it is literally what it is, with the soursop on the sweeter side. good for a hot day, but likely won’t order again. will be back to try their other pastes
