HarriAnn’s Delights

Nice little place for a short break. Open air with a tiny section that is air conditioned. Good looking Nonya dishes. Great if you wanna have a quick bite.

Well, this is just the most delightful local shop in Bugis Junction. Don’t let the location fool you; this spot is great if you’re looking for some legit Nyonya kuehs to snack on during your kopi break.
I’m a fan of chendol anything, so naturally I gravitate towards the chendol flavoured kuehs. They also have other flavours like lavender and red bean. For $ 1 each, you can easily try most of the flavours if you want to (but I’m thinking you’d be pretty full by then!)
They also have a box with a variety of kuehs in smaller pieces, so that might be more of your jam if you want to try everything.
Kopi is a little too sweet, but it still goes great with the kuehs. An awesome local choice for a tea time spot if you’re in the Bugis area!

Locate right at the entrance of BHG, facing Bugis Village is HarriAnn’s delights. On the left, you have ample dining space and on the right, is the ordering counter and about 3 tables in a small air conditioned part of the shop. Their rainbow lapis is alot more striking that the typical childhood favourite, due to the fact that they selected only a few specific colours to highlight. It is no wonder, this is their best seller and I’ve visited on weekday evenings and told they ran out of it!
Next on their best seller list is kueh chendol. I couldn’t help notice the little green chendol jelly embedded in the kueh!
On top of just the nonya kuehs, HarriAnn’s also sells cakes with a nonya twist.
They were a promotion, buy 3 kuehs for $ 2.80 or buy 6 kuehs for $ 5.50. Original price is $ 1 per kueh. I find the pricing rather reasonable considering the location and also the quality of the kuehs.
1. Kueh salat $
Not all kueh salat’s have blue coloured rice. Only the nonya version do, they cook the rice with blue pea flowers and it takes alot of flowers to get the colour and essence. I love the blue tinge and the rice has a slightly strongly fragrance too. The coconut custard was very soft, smooth and you could taste the coconut very distinctively. Though the custard was up to my liking, I would’ve prefered if the glutinous rice texture was slightly softer. Nonetheless, still one of the best nonya kueh salats I have ever tried!
2. Rainbow Lapis $ 1
Another rendition of the traditional rainbow lapis. Peeling the layers one and one and slowly enjoying every bite, was what I used to do as a kid. I looked around the shop and realized that almost every table had ordered at least one slice of this rainbow lapis. The layers were sweet but not overly sweet. The texture was great and it was easy to remove the layers one by one.
3. Kueh Chendol $ 1
The favourite amongst the 3 kuehs I ordered. The chendol jelly was superb! The gula melaka custard on top was even better! I could almost close my eyes and imagine a bowl of gula melaka placed before me. The sweet aroma of the gula melaka is what makes this kueh a winner!
I definitely need to head back there to try more of their kuehs and even their cakes which looked fantastic!
