My friend suggested we check out Melo Melo for their famous coconut desserts in ready to-go jars, and I was excited.
But for being a coconut dessert spot, I was surprised at how few vegan options actually existed. There were only two available (and both were clearly marked which is great): coffee and osmanthus. I went with the latter and I'll admit, the jelly dessert was good: not too sweet which is perfect for my Asian pelate.

Read moreHave been one of my to-go for sweets craving as it has multiple outlets spread across the city and all flavors they offer are simply indulging. I'd say they're getting more and more creative with flavor mix recently, catching up with all the trends and so far none has failed!
My current top list now is their Jasmine Coconut which is also prolly one of the most simple yet also simply delicious with great balance of tea flavor and obviously their signature coconut jelly. All time favorite is doubtlessly their matcha!
Most of the time I have them for to go, but they do have spaces to sit in and hang out if you prefer. As they're all ready to eat, service is always speedy regardless how...
