Nope it's Chinese Snow Ice desserts. They like their ice shavings with sweet stuff over here (the Malay ais kacang being another example). They're up there with 'dessert-style drinks with stuff in'. And to be fair, ice things can be very refreshing in this heat. It's maybe an acquired taste, but I'm a fan. 'Sweet' Asian desserts seem to be polarised - they're either milder than European desserts, or will blow-your-head-off with sugar-content. Snow Ice falls into the former category.

Our choices were Mango Snow Ice, Green Tea Snow Ice (with sweet red-beans), and mine - Almond Snow Ice, which was like eating creamy-tasting, fluffy snow (with a few fruity bits thrown in for variety). There were about 18 flavours to choose from (chocolate, mocha, sweet-corn, durian, watermelon..) If you've spent a day tramping around in this sticky heat, it's well worth having a sit-down with one of these.

We got these pudds at Mei Heong Yuen Desserts, 63 Temple Street, Chinatown, Singapore.
