chinatown ah balling

sorry sorry for the lack of updates!

but here it is.. introducing you to my favourite snack when i get tired of walking around chinatown.. the famous ah balling! they are actually "tang yuan", in peanut or almond soup, and they are gorgeous. the soup is not overly sweet, and the tang yuans are bursting inside with filling. best part is the price, where it is just a mere $2 for a bowl of six balls, with the wonderful soup as well! its not the clear syrup, but the goey, fragrant soup made of peanuts cooked so soft and sweet.

the stall is found at the street where the entire street is lined with stalls in wooden carts. it should not be too hard to find if you get out from the chinatown mrt stop and walk a bit along. flavours of the dumplings include sesame, peanut, yam, green tea and red bean.

yummmm.
