To beat the heat on weekend afternoons, hang with a few friends at this cool cafe and share a kakigori — a mountainous bowl of syrup-topped shaved ice. The cafe exudes cool industrial vibes, like an ice factory, and there is also a garden centrepiece amidst the wintry wonderland that allows patrons to climb white steel steps and sit surrounded by greenery. Kakigori flavours here are loyal to their Japanese origins, from Kyoto-sourced Uji Matcha (RM17) with mochi and red bean to Hojicha (RM17) with candied chestnuts and soy milk. A marked characteristic that we feel sets this apart from other icy desserts is how uniformly the syrup seeps into the ice for sweet spoonfuls everytime. Be warned that this is a messy eat with ice constantly dripping down the bowl, but it's all part of the fun so roll your sleeves up and enjoy! If you're not in the mood for a cold dessert, turn to the melt-in-your-mouth Kinako Warabimochi (RM14) — tasty bracken-starch mochi dipped in soybean powder.
Avg price per person: RM15
