A Hidden Gem In Toa Payoh That’s On Par With Creamier!! Double Scoop Mao Shan Wang W/ Buttermilk Waffles 😍 ($13) Unwittingly discovered this lil’ 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!! 😂 Though I would’ve liked it with more fibrous durian flesh, the creamy gelato carried the true blue flavor and aroma of durian sufficiently well and didn’t 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 it’s a little out of the way, I’d say it’s 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? 😉 Regardless, this quaint lil parlor has earned itself a loyal customer today!
