What’s Their Story?

Ji De Chi (記得吃 – literally “Remember to Eat”) was founded in 2004 by three friends, aiming to deliver quality dessert experiences rooted in traditional Asian flavours. The brand brought together chefs from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan to develop a recipe set that blends heritage desserts with Singapore’s dessert-culture environment. Over the years, it has expanded into a popular chain across Singapore, becoming known for its “Taste of Asia” sweets and for classics that invite sharing.

The core of their story lies in this simple, heartfelt sentiment: that sharing a warm bowl of dessert can connect hearts and offer a moment of comfort in a busy world. This philosophy drives their effort to consistently deliver top-notch quality using curated recipes and fresh ingredients. Ultimately, the goal is to become a household name and a popular, unpretentious haunt for all ages.

Ji De Chi Dessert: Why You’ll Love It Here

At Ji De Chi, you’ll get dessert-focused treats rather than full meals. Many patrons comment on the variety: from icy, snowy ice bowls with fruit and toppings to warm soup-based desserts like tang yuan in ginger or almond paste soups. For example, one review said their mango and durian snowy ice “never disappoints” and praised the use of quality durian.

Another user highlighted the sesame paste and glutinous rice balls, calling them “light and just the right amount of sweetness”.

Here are more key reasons you’ll enjoy it here:

• Authentic and Diverse Selection: Craving the nostalgic comfort of a classic Chinese sweet soup or a contemporary, Instagrammable icy treat? The menu has something to satisfy you.

• Quality Ingredients: They emphasise the use of fresh ingredients and have refined their recipes to ensure rich, balanced flavours that aren’t overly sweet.

• Comfortable Atmosphere: Designed as a down-to-earth hangout hub, it’s an ideal spot to relax, socialise with friends and family, and take a genuine break from a busy day.

It’s a place where you can find both familiar favourites that taste like home and new, exciting flavours to explore. The café setting is relaxed, suitable for dessert after dinner or a casual meet-up, making it a strong option for sweet-tooth lovers.

Must-Try Dessert Pairings

Popular dessert pairings at Ji De Chi often balance contrasting flavours and temperatures, such as a cold, fruity shaved ice with a warm, nutty paste. Many customers order different desserts to share, combining fruity, creamy, and traditional options to get a full range of flavours.

Fruity and traditional pairing (Mango Pomelo Sago and Black Sesame Paste)

This is a classic pairing that combines the cool, refreshing sweetness of the Mango Pomelo Sago with the warmth and nutty richness of the Black Sesame Paste. It provides a satisfying contrast in both flavour and temperature.

Creamy and tangy pairing (Durian Snowy Ice and Mango Pomelo Sago)

For an indulgent and rich-tasting combination, pair the creamy and intense Durian Snowy Ice with the lighter, tangy Mango Pomelo Sago. The fruity sweetness of the mango helps to cut through the richness of the durian.

Sweet and silky pairing (Sweet-in-Heart Sago and Double Skin Milk)

This pairing works well if you enjoy gentle, smooth desserts. The lightly sweet, chewy sago adds texture, while the Double Skin Milk brings a silky, custard-like finish. Together, they create a comforting mix of sweetness and creaminess without being too heavy.

Hot and cold pairing (Tang Yuan in Ginger Soup and Chendol Snowy Ice)

A pairing of hot and cold desserts is a favourite among diners. The warm, spicy kick of the ginger soup with chewy rice balls provides a comforting counterpoint to the icy, sweet, and fragrant Chendol Snowy Ice.

Classic favourites sharing platter (All Time Favourites Combo)

The menu sometimes offers combo deals like the “All Time Favourites” platter, which includes a mix of different popular items for sharing. This usually features a selection of hot and cold desserts, like:

• Chendol Snowy Ice (cold)

• Sesame Paste with Tang Yuan (hot)

• Yam Paste (hot)

• Herbal Jelly with Mango (cold)

Savoury and sweet pairing (Fried Snacks and any sweet paste)

Consider pairing one of Ji De Chi’s crispy fried snacks, like the Golden Milk Cubes or Golden Sweet Potato Balls, with a warm, sweet dessert paste. The savoury, crunchy, and fried flavour is a tasty contrast to the smooth and sweet paste.
