Meeting You is the latest addition to Singapore’s growing wave of traditional Chinese dessert cafés. Located at Tanjong Pagar Plaza, this 25-seater space offers a mix of hot and cold treats, blending nostalgic flavours with modern presentation. Highlights include the Green Water Ghost Pistachio Paste—an ultra-thick, nutty dessert that’s comforting but leans slightly heavy with a one-dimensional flavour profile. While the crushed pistachios on top add a bit of crunch, a touch of sea salt or roasted nuts could have lifted the overall experience. Still, its low-sugar approach may appeal to those who prefer their desserts on the lighter side.
Chilled options like the Thick Matcha Taro Pudding Double Skin Milk Tofu and Classic Pomelo Sago continue the less-sweet theme. The former layers house-made beancurd with creamy taro paste and matcha sauce, while the latter swaps fresh milk for coconut milk in a twist on the familiar mango sago. Both desserts showcase clean flavours but may feel underwhelming to sweet-toothed diners due to their subtle profiles and modest toppings. Texture lovers might wish for more variety—think nata de coco, roasted bits, or extra fruit for balance.
Those after something heartier can try the Fresh Milk Grand Slam, a bowl filled with peach gum, lotus seeds, grass jelly, taro balls, and red bean, served with fresh milk on the side. Despite its simple presentation, the portion of toppings is generous. On warmer days, the Avocado Jelly Milk Ice or Mango Black Rice Snow Ice offer a refreshing alternative. Just a five-minute walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT, the café is convenient for a quick dessert stop in the city. Prices hover in the $7–$9 range; while some dishes could benefit from stronger flavours or more generous portions, Meeting You stands out for its clean, less-sweet take on Chinese desserts—ideal for fans of pistachio, matcha, or taro.
