$1.30 Pulut Hitam, Tau Suan & Other Desserts At New Hawker Stall In Maxwell Food Centre
Two-month-old MS Dessert Shop offers good-value treats in the CBD.
Pro makan tip for folks who’ve returned to their offices in the Central Business District: MS Dessert Shop is a newish hawker stall in Maxwell Food Centre selling comforting Chinese desserts like tau suan (sweet mung bean soup) and pulut hitam for $1.30 a bowl. Pair it with a $2.50 claypot of soupy bak chor mee from neighbouring stall Ah Gong Minced Pork Noodle, and you can have a complete meal for under five bucks.
The two-month-old stall is owned by two bubbly – but media-shy – forty-something lady bosses. “Don’t need lah!” one of them exclaims emphatically in Mandarin when we ask her to pose for a photo, pushing another bowl of dessert into our hands, urging us to take a photograph of that instead. They also declined to be named. How refreshing.
