In hot, wet and humid Singapore, desserts play a darn important role in our life and i would always crave for our cheap local desserts from the hawker centres despite the fact that they are usually sugar-laden!
However, the weather was scorching when i went to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre for lunch and my brain simply caved in desserts when i saw the words "the ancient early taste". I absolutely love cheng teng, which is ranked top as my favourite dessert, and i knew i had to get a bowl even though i have yet to decide on lunch!
A lot of expectations but they were slightly dampened with the use of plastic container to hold the cold dessert. While i usually don't quite care for the aesthetics when it comes to food, S$2 a bowl isn't exactly cheap and i can only pray the taste would be well worth its slightly higher price tag.
Seemed like there are a lot of ingredients and the operator wasn't stingy like in the case of some stalls. I counted white fungus, ginkgo, dried longan, sweet potatoes, dried persimmons and bits of dried winter melon!
Taste wise, it was almost comparable to the Ye Lai Xiang Cheng Tng at Bedok Food Centre with well prepared ingredients (e.g. some ginkgo in other places can be bitter and tasteless which wasn't the case here) and not insanely sweet. Definitely a thirst quencher on a hot day!
