Ice Cream Places

@natter.sg is a fairly new waffles and ice cream joint that offers hojicha waffles, croffles and classic waffles along with a variety of gelato flavours. I liked how the waffles were crispy outside and rather light inside and the hojicha one had a rich hojicha flavour too. Some of gelato flavours (those with 2 flavours in one) did not really deliver as described but they had a smooth creamy texture and went well with the waffles too!

Nestled in Sims Drive, a few minutes walk from Aljunied MRT, @minusdegreesg serves gelato and waffles along with drinks like affogato which make a good respite from the heat! The waffles were crisp outside and fluffy inside and did not become soggy easily while we were eating it. They have a wide variety of gelato flavours that can be rather unique, we had Korean strawberry chamomile and pistachio. They were on the sweeter side and the chamomile wasn't very prominent because it was overpowered by the strawberry but it's still a good place to get decent waffles and ice cream. The affogato had strong coffee as well, with the bitterness neutralised by the sweetness of the ice cream.

Thank you @minusdegreesg for the invite and the food! :)

Found out about @dailyground.co, a rather new cafe serving gelato from @sugartreegelato, food, drinks and pastries, and it's quite a nice place to eat at and unwind. We had oolong chrysanthemum and dark chocolate gelato on rosemary cones. The dark chocolate was rich and the oolong chrysanthemum had a lighter flavour in comparison. I would have liked a stronger oolong flavour because it wasn't really distinct when I had it.

Apart from selling a wide variety of desserts, @amusedessertco also offers ice cream in pints and in sandwiches. They offer a selection of ice cream flavours and an Ice Cream Shortbread Tasting Box as well.

Their Banoffee Pecan Pie Ice Cream had a strong nutty and coffee flavour and it wasn't too sweet too! The Truffle Basque Cheesecake Ice Cream provided quite a contrast in terms of flavours with a more savoury twist from the distinct truffle flavour. I really liked the Truffle Basque Cheesecake flavour as it had more flavour than the Banoffee one (plus I'm not much of a Banoffee fan 😅). I had the Chocolate Cookies & Dough Ice Cream Shortbread and Roasted Pistachio Ice Cream Shortbread and enjoyed both a lot, especially with how the shortbread did not go soft and how both had either nuts/cookie dough to add that extra crunch. I would have liked it more if the Roasted Pistachio Ice Cream had a stronger flavour to prevent it from being overshadowed by the Chocolate Shortbread. The ice cream was still delicious, just more on the creamy than the nutty side (which I prefer).

Thank you again Li Hui from @amusedessertco for sending the yummy ice cream over! 😋

The ice cream melted so quickly! This tasted like what it was like in Thailand and it's still really sweet too.

The earl grey lemongrass has a unique combination of flavours that make a light dessert. The midnight gianduja makes a rich chocolate flavour that isn't too sweet. They both go well with their famous thyme cones too!

I got apple and cucumber and a salted caramel with brittle flavour. The apple and cucumber was refreshing while the salted caramel with brittle was pretty normal in flavour but I liked how the brittle added an extra crunch to it. After trying Monarchs & Milkweed Gelato, this pales in comparison so I doubt I'll pay full price for this next time too.

The ice cream was refreshing with a nice balance of the sweet and tangy flavours. There were raspberry bits in it too. I was pleasantly surprised by the cone which was really fragrant and crisp as well!

This was so refreshing and I could taste the apple and cucumber bits in this ice cream too!

The Humble Scoop now have Mantou with ice cream on weekends! I had the guava with sour plum ice cream and it was very refreshing. The mantou was crispy on the outside and fluffy inside too.

The spiced pear flavour was slightly savoury and sweet at the same time. The rose peach sorbet was rather sweet and the peach flavour was stronger than the rose. These flavours were complemented by the fragrant thyme cone as well.

The pipagao ice cream was quite different from expected. They use three legs pipagao which is a more herbal and less sweet version from the nin jiom brand. This had a pronounced herbal flavour indeed and while some of us liked it, some of us didn’t. I thought it was pretty refreshing and different from usual ice cream flavours.
