A no frills bowl of smooth ice shavings with one topping of your choice (each extra topping for $1). The mango sauce mixed with fresh hokkiado milk was rich and tasty. The chosen mango topping was really sour and made us shudder haha but it did pair nicely with the sweet dessert although a less sour option would be preferable

Japanese shaved Ice Kiosk @korikingsg are now available at The Cathay, Serving up to 8 different flavours such as Strawberry, Mango, Tiramisu, Black Sesame, Gula Melaka, Sour Plum, Matcha and Peanut Butter, with additional toppings such as Mochi Balls for an additional $1. .

Extremely wallet friendly as one of these shaved ice only cost up to $6.90 and there's one for one promotion going on so why not right?

The key in this was their premium Hokkaido milk as a base to a variety of flavours. The boss told us that it was a combination of 2 types of Hokkaido milk used.
Ours today had a generous serving of Gula Melaka drizzled over the ice. Liked the local flavour and that it wasn’t too sweet. Each bowl came with a choice of topping too, such as peanut crunches, coconut flakes, etc.
Overall, another variation to the many different types of shaved ice desserts available

Weekend dessert treat of finely shaved black sesame kakigōri.
Just 1 more day to holiday ~ 🙆🏻♂️
The combination makes a good kori ($6.9). The gula melaka sauce is not too sweet as a dessert which makes it just right if u r looking for something not too filling.
Have wanted to utilised a myfave voucher for shaved ice for takeaway and asked if the shaved ice comes in a covered container as I was travelling a short distance back home. Encountered the worst customer service from the owner who gave me an incredulous look and belittlingly informed that no, the shop doesn't have such containers and that shaved ice doesn't come in containers for takeaways any where in the world. As I have bought shaved ice for takeaways in containers previously, I was merely enquiring. I know it's not common and different cafes do their shaved ice differently, but what irked me was the attitude of the owner. He offered no alternatives and even scoffed and mockingly said take it or leave it. As I have already paid for the voucher, had to take the cones. I don't know if such customer service is the default style of this shop or if it's just directed to customers who buy using discount vouchers. If it's the latter, then well, don't offer discounts vouchers online! Either way, totally not worth a visit for the rude and belittling attitude. Oh and by the way, the menu is not updated. A whole row of discontinued items are still being displayed gosh.
