I love its texture, it's so smooth and creamy, just like eating a piece of butter. #throwback
On days like these, some waffles and ice cream will do wonders. It's like a yin and yang kinda thing that no one really knows why waffles is able to pair so well with ice cream, especially if it's Earl Grey Lavender flavour. Some say Creamier, some say Sunday Folks. To me, both also can lah.
Crisp and light waffle letdown by its bland batter and that extremely icy vanilla ice-cream which somehow became much like a sorbet instead
Essentially a carrot cake party gatecrashed by a nutty, zesty fruitcake. The cream cheese frosting wasn't feeling very sociable and pretty much stayed in one corner the whole time. 3.8/5
Hidden in Purvis Street, Rabbit Owl Depot is a small industrial-themed ice cream parlour dedicated to serving quality ice cream made with only the freshest ingredients. The flavours here are pretty conventional and may not stand out from the crowd, but the quality is outstanding. Their crispy, mad fluffy buttermilk waffles will keep you coming back for more, and should definitely be paired with ice cream – go for the Thai Coconut, Roasted Black Sesame or Earl Grey ice cream! At $9.50, you get two waffles and a scoop of ice cream – not shabby at all.
You can always count on Creamier for good ice cream and waffles. If you love ice cream or waffles and haven't been here, you're doing it all wrong. The ice cream here is exceedingly creamy, smooth and dense, and the waffles are crispy, fluffy and eggy. Go for the Banana Chocolate Chip Crumble, Thai Milk Tea and Roasted Pistachio — almost every flavour is good, actually. However, Creamier is also known to be awfully packed all the time due to space constraints, so it'll do you good to visit during off-peak hours!
Tsujiri is best known for its matcha desserts for all the right reasons. It's arguably the best place to quell your cravings for anything matcha. The soft serve here is dense, smooth and not too sweet, such that you can taste the slightly bitter matcha/hojicha. You can get just the soft serve in a cone, but if you're feeling a little more indulgent, go for the parfaits that come with a mixture of toppings such as mochi, azuki paste and matcha chiffon cake. As long as you're a fan of matcha/hojicha, this place will satisfy you; they have other treats too like cakes, drinks and floats.
By the good people behind Montana Brew Bar, Nookie Yogurt is a home-grown froyo place that manages to incorporate unique flavours so you get more than just the usual froyo toppings. Some of the more popular and interesting flavours you should check out include the Red Velvet (red velvet crumbs, strawberries, granola and chocolate sauce), Mango Sticky Rice (mango and kiwi, coconut cream, mango passion fruit spheres and mochi), and Matcha Black Sesame (black sesame crumble, watermelon, kiwi, mango passion fruit spheres and matcha sauce). All parfaits are $6.90, but you can customise your own if you like.
Originally from Hokkaido, Milkissimo uses the finest milk from Hakodate City and fresh quality ingredients to churn out luscious gelato that's milky yet incredibly light so you don't feel too guilty for indulging. The gelato here scores full marks in flavour and isn’t overly sweet. They have standard flavours like Uji Matcha, Black Sesame Milk, Sakura and Fresh Corn and more interesting ones like Pineapple and Basil, Purple Sweet Potato and Pumpkin. Frappés are served here as well, but expect prices to be steeper than usual because of the imported premium ingredients.
At $8 per cone, GODIVA’s chocolate soft serve is probably one of the most expensive soft serves out there, but if you're hankering for a really indulgent soft serve and have mad love for chocolate, then you're going to want to get your hands on it. It's super smooth, extra chocolaty, rich, creamy drizzled with more chocolate sauce – does it get any better than this?! Fun fact: get it at Changi Airport (Terminal 2 Departure Hall) for only $7.50 (thank you, GST absorption)!
Anyone who's on Instagram would probably have come across Sunday Folks' ever-picturesque soft serve on waffles. You can find Creamier's signature flavours such as Roasted Pistachio, Earl Grey Lavender, and Sea Salt Gula Melaka in soft serve form. Choose to add handcrafted toppings like nama chocolate, gula Melaka mochi and soufflé cheesecake to complement your soft serve and waffles, but if you get it in a cone, toppings are included. The space is very pretty but usually packed, so it might not be a good idea to hang for long!
This gem in Yishun will more than please heartlanders in the North. Expect bold flavours like Mr Potato Head (vanilla ice cream infused with salted caramel, studded with chocolate coated potato chips), Orh Nee (Teochew yam paste) and Mao Shan Wang, but also more classic flavours like Earl Grey Lavender and Rum and Raisin. The ice cream here is creamy and milky, but the waffles may not be the best you can find. That said, the combination of waffles and ice cream is always a match made in heaven. They serve coffee and milkshakes as well.
