KAKIYUKI (Paramount Garden)

Beautifully plated dessert that make you go kawaii-ne~
Every bite you take make you go sugoi-desu~
But it does make your wallet go Itai! Itai!~

On blazing hot days, take shelter in this well-loved Japanese kakigori joint for hand-crafted shaved ice desserts. A crowd-favourite is the Uji Matcha Brûlée (RM17) that conceals soft red beans within a mountain of matcha shaved ice, crowned with creamy brulee custard. Burppler Alyssia Yu also recommends the Houjicha (RM17), a nutty version that comes with candied chestnuts and garnished with a drizzle of kinako (roasted soybean) milk. You'll also find hot Japanese treats on the menu like the Warabimochi (RM14), a chewy jelly-like snack that's covered in either matcha or kinako powder.

What to do on weekend after a satisfying meal? Of course dessert! We were too full to eat anything filling, thus came to this shaved ice. Had the most simple uji matcha shaved ice. There is a layer of red beans cooked till soft sandwiched in between the equally soft ice. Adding kinako milk is a plus to the ice, it was that perfect match of roasted bean flavor with slightly bitter matcha. Love this truely. Price: RM17, Food: 9/10
**I love the concept of the store to make collection point part of the shop decoration. The ice fits perfectly into the deco, many customers unable to find their food when number is called. Nice design.

Matcha Kakigori with red bean and custard brûlée. Wasn’t a fan of the brûlée and would prefer more matcha flavour.

Blackcurrant and Orange infused with spices.

All time favourite kakigori flavour from this Japanese shaved ice shop. It's sweet and with a hint of houjicha , milk and kinako powder. Perfect for hot afternoon
