🇸🇬 Singapore recipe

Ice Kachang

Ice Kachang, meaning 'bean ice' in Malay, is Singapore's most iconic shaved ice dessert, a towering mountain of finely shaved ice drenched in colorful syrups, evaporated milk, and rose syrup, concealing a treasure trove of sweet red beans, creamed corn, grass jelly, attap chee seeds, and palm sugar. It is the ultimate tropical refresher, enjoyed at hawker centres across the island as a sweet reprieve from the equatorial heat.
