A Hidden Gem In Toa Payoh Thatâs On Par With Creamier!! Double Scoop Mao Shan Wang W/ Buttermilk Waffles đ ($13) Unwittingly discovered this lilâ ice cream parlor while walking off dem calories from the Thai place next door! They offer a mouthwatering smorgasbord of millennial-targeted ice cream flavors(e.g.: earl grey lavender, pistachio, speculoos, etc.), all of which are made in house. My final choice was a tie between the Belgium dark chocolate (which was decadently bitter and rich in cocoa) and Mao Shan Wang, but I was eventually swayed by my sister - who reminded me of durian season - to get TWO scoops of the MSW!! đ Though I wouldâve liked it with more fibrous durian flesh, the creamy gelato carried the true blue flavor and aroma of durian sufficiently well and didnât seem artificial in the least. Also, the 2 icy scoops went VERY well with the waffles; made on the spot, the crisp exterior hid a toasty and fluffy interior capable of soaking up all the melted ice cream goodness!!!
My final verdict: though itâs a little out of the way, Iâd say itâs worth the travel as the offerings here are comparable to those served at Creamier! Also, why jostle with the masses for a seat when you can have the whole parlor and an instagrammable backdrop to yourself? đ Regardless, this quaint lil parlor has earned itself a loyal customer today!
