Somewhere in the Cartimar area, there is a Chinese grocery shop called Tiong Hwa. They're known for their super freshly made tofu and they actually usually sell out by 4 or 5. They also offer frozen Chinese ulam and groceries.
In addition to these, they have a small snack area to the side and this is where I discovered the best wintermelon tea ever. It has no sugar, but it's sweet and pleasant to taste. I heard that it's made from real wintermelon and not artificial flavorings. Combine this with black pearls and it's better than any milk tea ever! I think it's not always available so if you chance upon their shop and they have it, it is a must try.
I also discovered that they have the best taho ever. They don't have hot taho unfortunately, but the cold one is still very good anyway - better than good, it's super delicious! They have different toppings to choose from such as red bean paste or lotus. A lot of people like lotus the best but personally I stick with my black pearl addiction. They are not created equal. Same is true with the black sugar syrup. Nope. Not the same. This one is magical. read more
