Ice Kachang

Oh Ice Kachang

How beautifully you mix different colors

uniquely you blend their diversities

still preserving their true identities

We experience variety of tastes

each one being distinct and great

It is the ice that binds you together

making efforts to preserve your inherent nature

You maintain your distinctiveness

by adding grass jelly and lychees

You are the essence of Singapore

I love you to the core
