Rainbow Tangyuan: The Art of Beancurd Desserts & Seasonal Gem at Hong Lim Food Centre

#favouriteitinerary One of our favorite treats in Singapore is the Rainbow Tangyuan from DDSD Dessert at Hong Lim Food Centre. DDSD is known for its beancurd-based desserts and drinks, offering a variety of options from traditional soy milk to brown sugar boba soy milk, along with innovative beancurd creations like red bean & peach gum beancurd, tangyuan beancurd, and black sesame beancurd. They use non-GMO soybeans, freshly handmade each day, with no preservatives, artificial coloring, or dairy—ensuring a wholesome and authentic experience with every dish.

The Rainbow Tangyuan is a seasonal delicacy, typically available only during festive occasions like the Winter Solstice or Lantern Festival. We were fortunate enough to try it this time, as it’s not always on the menu. The tangyuan features four vibrant colors, naturally derived from ingredients like pumpkin, pandan, and beetroot, paired with two classic sesame-filled ones. It's a playful and colorful twist on a traditional dessert.

The tangyuan rests on a smooth, creamy base of homemade soy beancurd, which adds a delicate texture that perfectly complements the chewy dumplings. To enhance the experience, we added peach gum, which brought an extra layer of texture and depth to the dish. DDSD also offers a variety of toppings like refreshing grass jelly, crunchy grated peanut, gingko nuts, and rich black sesame sauce, along with a selection of sweeteners, including ginger sugar, gula melaka, and traditional white sugar.

It’s one of those desserts that feels special, and we’re glad to have caught it while it was in season. If you find yourself at Hong Lim Food Centre, it’s definitely worth checking out if it happens to be available during the festive period.
