Singapore is known as the melting pot of flavors and cultures, a destination much loved for its food. Desserts are plentiful in the sunny island state and the refreshing dessert cups by the homegrown concept. Nine Fresh is one of the most popular, with 18 locations serving treats to meet the desires of various palates and preferences. 


I got to be one of the first to taste of Nine Fresh’s best-selling dessert cups filled with fresh taro balls, flavorful jellies, and beans. Ever wonder how your favorite milk tea sinkers and ingredients are made? Well It was surprising that Nine Fresh has a lot to offer for a delicious and healthy way of mixing together ingredients, and I sure had fun making my own...
