7 Homemade Singaporean Sweet Treats to Cool Off Your Kids

3 min read

In sunny Singapore, we are always in need of something to cool us down. It gets worse around the June period, with our kids on holiday and fussing about the humid house. 

Here are some sweet treats you can whip up to beat the heat. These recipes are so easy that the kids can probably help out too!
