This Chinese dessert shop (8 Club Street #B2-27) caught my eye, as it was sporting big signage about serving one of the four famous noodles types from Hainan, with this one being from the Hou An area there. Despite its mild appearance, it had more salt and garlic in there than one might think. It got better when paired with that sour minced yellow chili pepper paste from Hainan. I'm not gonna make an effort to go back for it, but it was interesting, especially since it was not the same as the one served at that People's Park stall.
The more memorable thing was a dessert that was innocently labeled in English as Hainanese Fevervine Herb. But the Chinese is jishiteng, or literally chicken shit vine, as the leaves smell like chicken shit when crushed. I can't say that I really know what that is supposed to smell like, but it was a little barnyard-like. As if to further fuel these silly jokes, the bowl had some small black rice cake things that looked like poop. Other than that, it was your typical warm and mildly sweet Chinese dessert with a touch of ginger that I kinda liked.
