Cooling Desserts @ Sik Thong Ba, Damansara Utama

Ah! I am naughty again! Well, it was very hot and I was sweating buckets walking back from Damansara Jaya.

What do we need on such sweltering days? Something cool and soothing, yes? So I headed to Sik Thong Ba @ Damansara Utama at the risk of yet again losing my carnivore card. Tsk!

I wasn't sure what the ordering system was like, so I walked up to the counter to place my order.

When I sat down, that was when I realized that they use QR code ordering.

So I scanned the code just to browse through the menu. Apparently they also serve poke bowls.

Within a short while my dessert was served.

This was the Taroball, Riceball, Pearl, Peachgum Taufufah (RM16.40).

The taufufah was warm while the other ingredients were cold. This dessert was served with black sugar syrup.

I had a taste of the dessert first and found it unsweetened and I poured about one spoonful of the syrup. It made the dessert a little bit sweet, just barely, the way that I like it.

I found this dessert a tad underwhelming but that's not saying that it wasn't good. Just not that exciting.

And then another day, it was also hot, and that's a good excuse to return for something else.

What's this you ask? Mango Sago Supreme (RM13.10) from this menu.

Now this is what I call dessert and it got me much more excited than the taufufah did.

It had ripe mango cubes and the sago was mixed in with real mango puree. There was no artificial taste and the dessert was not too sweet, just nice. To top it off you get a scoop of mango ice cream. 

Underneath there were fine shaved ice that made my teeth go ouch! ouch! ouch! I have sensitive teeth hee..hee..

This dessert made me want to come back for the Durian Sago Supreme but I was distracted by another dessert.

Guess what I had?

The Bubur Cha Cha (RM9.79).

It's cheaper than the Durian Sago Supreme (obviously).

This dessert is served warm and you will find large chunks of sweet potatoes and sago. Yes, I enjoyed this Bubur Cha Cha although I will be honest to say that it is not the best bubur cha cha that I have tasted.

It could use more santan to give it that lemak-ness and more pandan fragrance. 

One thing that I appreciate about their desserts is that the level of sweet is on the kurang manis (less sweet) side which I (and I believe most people) prefer. So the sweet(er) tooth among you may have to request for extra syrup.

So that was my dessert adventure at Sik Thong Ba. I hope they do well. I always feel sad when I see restaurants come and then go (except for the bad ones of course).
