Singapore's best ice kachang

Singapore's best ice kachang -- Recommended: Mei Heong Yuen

Mei Heong Yuen's use of snow ice makes all the difference.

While the traditional roadside ice kachang used to be composed of blended ice, modern technology has brought about clever variations such as snow ice, shards of ice that are thinner than pencil shavings. 

At Mei Heong Yuen, a tong shui eatery, there are various scrumptious renditions, such as the popular mango shaved ice and cendol shaved ice. 

“There’s [also] coconut-milk flavored ice, shaved really thin, with red beans and attap chee and cendol bits, and the best thing is you get to squeeze a bottle of gula melaka to drizzle on yourself," says expert panel member and cookbook author Christopher Tan.
