The mochi ice cream 🍨 was quite good 👍. The grapefruit jasmine green tea 🍵 was just so-so. There was only one staff member working when I was there, so the waiting time was super long—more than one hour. I won’t visit again…

Tried the pi pa gao mint and sesame peanut mochi ice cream on the nian gao waffle. The flavors and tastes were interesting. I would recommend the sesame one, as we preferred it out of the two. The place was crowded, as it was a public holiday, but on weekdays there isn't much of a crowd. I would recommend coming to try at least one.

Interesting flavor – Muah Chee (Black Sesame and Peanut)! The ice cream has small cubes of soft cheese, adding a surprising twist. The homemade cone is on the thinner side and breaks easily. The Muah Chee ice cream is definitely unique and worth trying. We also had a scoop of Umeshu (Plum Wine), a premium flavor. It contains tiny bits of what I assume are green plums, though the taste leans more toward vanilla than Umeshu.

Small and cozy seating area. I ordered the nian gao waffle, mua chee ice cream (peanut and sesame flavored), a toffee nut latte, and a matcha latte. The taste of the food and drinks was great; no complaints. Two staff members were working on a public holiday, and the shop was full. The waiting time was fair, maybe about 10 to 15 minutes. The staff were quite friendly.

*Updated 16 March 2024* Menu attached. The flavors are pretty decent, not jaw-droppingly delicious, but it's okay for a mid-afternoon snack. The place is a bit small, but it makes up for it with its simplistic design, natural lighting, and cozy vibes. I think the chrysanthemum flavor is my standout flavor because you can actually taste the chrysanthemum, unlike many other ice cream stores. But if you're not a fan of it, there's no harm in trying others. No sampling of flavors, by the way. 🥺
