Melon Snow Milk Bingsu from Snowman Desserts. Despite the visual distractions offered by the veiny green dress, the Marge Simpson hairdo and the admittedly entertaining juggling of orange balls, inevitable is the realisation that the so-named snow milk ice that lies beneath has as much personality as those fake accounts…
Banana Nutella gelato in a liquid chocolate-filled cone from Churn Creamery. The gelato must be a psychic Pokémon/dark mage because the experience felt like a disorienting confusion spell was cast – it tastes like both banana and Nutella together and separately at the same time (if that makes any sense).…
Shibuya Toast with Butter Pecan Brittle and Banana Chocolate ice cream, drizzled with peanut butter and white chocolate green tea sauce from Meet & Melt. Expectations-wise, this was akin to ordering carrot cake and then being served a beta-carotene orange stick with leaves intact and frosting on top. The “Shibuya…
Baked Pistachio Melt & Pandan Ice Cream from FYR Cycene Ond Drinc. The green rocky mountain unyields a salty, thick, gooey sea of nutty goodness (with more nuts floating around in case you need more nuts in your bag), and the pandan ice cream was on hand to provide leafy,…

The crispy waffles had intensely gooey brownie-esque flesh, while separately the dark chocolate was very dark and rich, the strawberry was coquettishly sour and the signature Milk & Honey was like white…
Buah Keluak from Candlenut – buah keluak ice cream made with 80% Valhrona chocolate on a bed of salted caramel, chocolate crumble and chilli specks, topped with warm milk chocolate espuma. One of the most stunning local desserts I’ve tried this year. The buah keluak ice cream was itself an…
Green Curry Gelato with Sticky Rice from Gin Khao. Essentially cold, spicy green curry paired with pulut hitam-esque black glutinous rice, and quite the exhilarating, Indian-tinged dive into savoury dessertdom. You will finish the serving not quite sure if you had just eaten a dessert, and the meal will feel…
Orh nee (yam paste) and Sicilia pistachio ice cream on waffle with homemade caramel sauce. The orh nee was a revelation, being starchy, thick and distinctively orh nee instead of merely yam, whilst the Sicilia pistachio tasted like it had enjoyed a few nice leaps over an open fire. Elsewhere,…
