In the Makansutra, the definitive guide to Singaporean hawker-stall dining, cheng tng is described sparingly as "sweet dessert syrup with nuts and fruits." A bowlful of the hot version (S $1.50) included longans, gingko nuts, and small balls of (perhaps) glutinous rice in a juice that tasted vaguely of brown sugar, though it appeared to consist of dark brown mini-pearls of tapioca. Would have been much better if it weren't served lukewarm.
