Why it’s a good cheap date
Sweet things, small portions, and a built-in reason to keep moving and talking.
Skip dinner. Pick three dessert spots in walking or short-drive distance, like a cendol stall, a bakery and a bingsu place, and share one portion at each. Rank them on a napkin. Argue about the results.
Tips
- Order one portion to share. Three desserts is more than it sounds.
- Ask locals for the stall with the queue, not the one on Instagram.
- Bring cash for the roadside stalls.
Make it more romantic
- 1Feed each other the first bite at each stop.
- 2Photograph the napkin ranking and pin it on the fridge.
- 3Pick a winner and return to it for your next anniversary.
- 4Bring a handwritten note and hand it over at the very end.
