House of Dessert: Delectalicious Desserts
Fancy a bowl of really nice Tau Suan? Head down to the Tampines Round Market and you will find a nice couple selling some of the best traditional desserts.
The Tau Suan here is very good. The beans are steamed just nice so that they have some bite but still become powdery when you actually bite into it. The soup is not overly starchy has has a nice caramel fragrance to it. I don't know how much better Tau Suan can get apart from maybe having a whole stick of fresh You Char Kway to go along with it. 4.5/5
While the Tau Suan is really good, it is quite common. This stall sells this Lotus Suan (Ling Zhi Suan) which is very very shiok. The lotus seeds are cooked just right such that they become a nice savoury paste in your mouth when you bite into it. This is something that I have really been thinking about everyday since the first time I ate it. If you want to try it you will have to go early as it is one of the first items to get sold out. 4.75/5
The white fungus here is very refreshing for those who want something a little lighter. It is boiled till very soft and has a thin film of starch on the surface which makes it slightly gooey. 4/5
The ice watermelon is about the only cold dish they have there. Light refreshing and very nice though you can imagine what the flavour is like. 4/5
Conclusion
My current favourite dessert stall. Too bad they don't do peanut and walnut paste. The Lotus Suan is so good, I just finished my fourth bowl this week!

oh yes... another one of my favourite stalls here!
The Tau Suan is really good... something simple, yet so delicious!
Time to wake up early for breakfast there very soon! :)
yeaH, this dessert stall is one of the 'world'-class food to shout about in tampines round market. Hope to see your entry soon on the yong-tau-foo. Coz I have never tried that stall and you mentioned it has some 14 unique stuffings...hmm.
IEAT,
Do try the Xin Ji noodles with the owner's face on the signboard one, since u visit this place so often.
hi doc leslie!!!! the tausuan is deeeeeeeeeeelicious!!!! in fact i skipped sch to go there haha!avid reader of all your uniquely singaporean foods!!! especially the dessert!!!
anw theres a tau suan shop at a market near st nicks for only 90cents!!!! i have to have my necessary fix there every wk. its addictive!
Hi Doc, To me the tau suan at Tiong Bahru market is the BEST.Try it.
Hi Freakkler, Nice to meet you during our makan tasting at the YTF stall. U must really try it yrself but go early and u can find over 40 items.
I love tuan suan and this is 1 of the better one. The beans are not broken (over cooked) and more beans than the starchy soup.
I second the Tiong Bahru one.
Only open till about 2pm and don't let the tough looking guy manning the stall scare you.
I also like the Pulot Hitam.
The name of the stall reads like Fish Slice Soup or something so sometimes, people miss it.
Hi Smart, it was nice seeing you guys in the flesh! haha. I just had another helping to the dessert today. You guys missed the red bean...die die must try :p. Has longan and sago in it. But i reckon there's just too many nice desserts available. yeah, will try to test the YTF one of these days. thanks Smart.
This just reminded me that i commented on this 'lotus suan' when you posted the review on the tau suan at adam road. And i've learnt smtg new now, that this place is called Tampines Round Mkt;) - blu
Wow that is some solid-looking tau suan! Feel like some for breakfast tomorrow!
Hi Cememberu, you must try the YTF next stall, many exciting items no reject.
hey, juz came across.. juz wanted to ask. this stall dun happen to have any relationship with another stall called "House of dessert" which has like abt 10 branches throughout sg. linked or no link? any idea?
to heaven: nope, i dun think it has any link to that stall. the one with many branches uses a signature signboard with yellow background.
to blog owner: yes, do try the xing ji noodles with the owner's face on the signboard. good sui gao.
I believe the tau suan is good. Looking at it can kinda tell. And Uncle Smart finished his when I was at my 4th mouth of my Pulut Hitam? However am not much of a tau suan person so tried their Pulut Hitam. No wonder it wasn't featured in this blog~ Hah. Not enough glutinous rice,I could do with more coconut milk and though I do not like things which are too sweet, the pulut hitam must be the most unsweet one I have eaten in my entire life~ So if you are there, stick to the tau suan~
