Ah Balling

Chinatown is home to lots of food gems. One of which is a push cart Ah Balling stall.

$2 buys you 5 tang yuan - which are flour balls filled with pastes like peanut (my favourite), red bean, sesame, green tea (yuck) and yam. Of course I choose one of each flavour.

In reality, the skin of the dessert balls are not as thin as the picture - or else the balls would burst easily. But it's already thinner than what most stalls have. Also quite shiok is the think and satisfying peanut soup. If I were to order it again, I would not have the green tea - I think green tea should be drunk as a tea. So far, all the other green tea stuff I tried like ice cream, candy and Ah Ballings have failed miserably.
