Wei Xiang Yuan:Hmm.. Is smell more important than taste?

My friend who studied in a school near Anchorpoint mentioned that this dessert place is quite good. Having a fetish for sweet food, I couldn't resist coming for a treat after OT today. The outside and the environment really looks quite enticing,so the food should be nice,right?



......Wrong.

Perhaps I had too much hope in it. Maybe i was too hungry after OT. But it didn't give me the satisfaction that I expected from an all-sweet dinner.


I ordered the chestnut gao1. It is basically 3 pieces of agar agar with pieces of chestnut inside going for $2. I should have given in to my inner instincts to order the pumpkin gao1 instead.


I also ordered tang yuan($2.50) as i really had a craving for them. Ordered a mixture of peanut and sesame. They gave me 5-3 sesame & 2 peanut. I would have preferred an opposite sequence:( The peanuts in the soup were not soft, rather a bit crunchy. The tang yuan was quite normal as well. Well, at least they are not too sweet.Again, i should have given in to my inner instincts and ordered the walnut paste.

Well, i looked on the bright side. At least there were few people in the whole mall and it was kind of relaxing to eat in such an air-conditioned environment with okay and cheap desserts, so dont hesitate to pass by if you happen to be nearby. Maybe it would have turned out good if I had listened to auntie and ordered her recommended dessert. 3/5

This is a franchise of the original Wei Xiang Yuan at Chinatown. Cos they both sell peanuts in the shop.
