Tucked away on Level 5 of Far East Plaza, Hup Ka Foon 合家歡 brings the charm of traditional Cantonese desserts to the heart of Orchard. This beloved dessert house specializes in classic tong sui (sweet soups) crafted using time-honoured methods, offering a refreshing escape from the mall's bustling retail floors.
The menu reads like a nostalgic journey through familiar flavours. Their signature Cendol ($3.50) is a must-try, featuring generous portions of green jelly and red beans draped in coconut milk and gula melaka, all served over perfectly light shaved ice. For those seeking something warm and comforting, the hot desserts shine equally bright—from silky Almond Cream and Black Sesame Paste ($3.50 each) to the indulgent Orh Nee ($4.20). The MJ ($5.80), a creative blend of black glutinous rice, grass jelly, and homemade gelato, offers a modern twist on tradition.
What sets Hup Ka Foon apart is their commitment to quality without the premium price tag. Most items hover under $5, making it an accessible treat for families and dessert enthusiasts alike. The spacious, clean setting provides a comfortable respite for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment.
Open Tuesday to Sunday from noon to 9pm, Hup Ka Foon proves that traditional desserts still have a cherished place in Singapore's evolving food scene.

Hidden gem of a traditional Chinese dessert cafe in Far East plaza with equally delicious sweet treats and savory snacks. We come here at least once a week. Our favorites are: sweet potato ginger soup, red bean with aged tangerine peel & lotus seed and barley beancurd with ginkgo. For savory snacks: Chee cheong fun with chye poh.

It's an ordinary-looking dessert shop, much like any snack corner in a mall. Wooden tables and stools line the space, with enlarged photos of their signature desserts adorning the walls. Cantonese songs from Hong Kong blare from the sole speaker at the order counter. Located on the 5th level of Far East Plaza, away from the main foot traffic, it still draws its loyal customers. During our regular Sunday afternoon visits, we always find at least 3-4 tables occupied.
The selection of cold and hot desserts is impressive, with local favorites like bubur cha cha, red bean soup (offering various toppings and accompaniments), chee cheong fun, and the traditional yam cake.
My wife and I particularly enjoy their hot desserts—steamed egg with ginger for her, while I prefer the hot bubur cha cha and red bean soup. The chee cheong fun and yam cake are must-orders whenever we visit.
Desserts are reasonably priced between $3–5. They strike a perfect balance in taste and texture—subtle flavors with a gentle sweetness, enriched by robust ingredients like sesame and almond.

Located in this almost isolated corner is this cute little homey dessert shop.
There is a variety of Chinese hot and cold desserts, which u definitely will have difficulty choosing!
The red bean soup is very nice, well cooked that all the beans almost soft. The dried tangerine skin taste is very significant, which I personally enjoy.
The steamed ginger egg was well done, jiggly and lightly sweetened with ginger.
Would come back to try other desserts!

I love the almond paste here - it has a perfect consistency, not too thick or too runny. The yam cake is decent, although I'm not a big fan of the sweet sauce that comes with it. The chee cheong fun was okay, but nothing particularly stood out for me. The walnut paste was good.

One of the best chendol in Singapore. Lady boss is always very sweet, asking if I want more gula melaka half way through my chendol! Thank you 🙏 …
