My opinion:

 Hai Yan specializes in traditional Singapore desserts. Customers can get the usual chendol, ice kacang, chendol, black glutinous rice, green bean soup, red bean soup and tau suan here. The owners gave customers the option of combining a few hot desserts into one. For this review, I decided to try their glutinous rice with green bean soup for lunch.

Honestly, this was my first time eating this dessert. It was extremely mild tasting and I had to ordered wanton noodles to "wash" off the awkward diluted taste. Coconut milk increased the dessert's fragrance and added some bonus points to the food rating.

Ways for the owners to improve their food ratings:

Make the desserts sweeter and thicker.
