Neighbouring its sibling Lulu’s Char Koay Teow, Pandan is a modest spot with a knack for nailing a few key desserts. This Malaysian-style bar focuses on bingsu, puddings and “dessert soups”. Try the ais kacang (also known as ABC) for a bit of everything: rose bingsu topped with evaporated milk, grass jelly, nata de coco, corn, peanuts, red beans and chocolate or vanilla ice cream. For something simpler, the pandan pudding is a standout.
