My opinion:

This stall only sells one beverage or dessert and that is cheng tng. This simple dessert contains many healthy ingredients such as barley, longan, sago and tapioca. It is refreshing and sweet. The owners do not save costs by adding too many ice cubes or water into the dessert. They sell both cold and hot versions of cheng tng. Customers can have it in a bowl (eating at the food centre) or in a cup (takeaway).

The owners are considerate by providing large straws for customers so that people can drink the dessert and eat the ingredients without using a spoon (but tapioca is too big for the straw). This is good life for lazy people.

After finishing one cup of cheng tng, I felt so rejuvenated and immediately desired another cup. Even with so many good points, I feel that the price of $2.20 is too much especially for a traditional Singapore dessert. A more reasonable price will be less than $2.00.
