To kick off my taste test, I started with the Pandan Shake, which was served in a plastic cup.

While I enjoyed the first few sips of the fragrant blend of vanilla and pandan, I quickly found it too cloying.

I was more hopeful for the first concrete I was tasting for the night: It Takes Two To Mango.

Next was the Jewela Melaka, which was named after Jewel Changi Airport, and gula melaka, an ingredient in the dessert.

The gula melaka gave the dessert a delicious lift, and wasn't overpowering. It was my favorite of the bunch.

Last but not least was the Shack Attack, a concrete commonly found in the US but with locally sourced ingredients.

The super chocolatey dessert wasn't my cup of tea, but I loved the brownies mixed into it.

Overall, the desserts were a mixed bag, and on the pricier side for fast food.
