Cendol is a tasty dessert that is perfect for Singapore’s hot weather.  

Another nice dessert option is Kueh Talam Asli, which is well-known for its many variations of kueh talam, a 2-layer Malaysian dessert infused with loads of pandan. Fancy a light bite? Try otak-otak Kampung! This stall in Geylang Serai Market is one of the few left that still sticks to the traditional methods of serving otak-otak. Since they only serve up a limited quantity, you need to head down early if you really want to have a taste of it.
