Popular Australian dessert brand Gelato Messina will be making its Singapore debut in April 2025, bringing its unique ice cream flavours to its new outlet in Chinatown.

Renowned for its commitment to quality, the brand crafts everything in-house — from its dairy to its chocolate.

Gelato Messina Singapore will be opening its first outlet in an unit at the junction of Club Street and Cross Street.

Founded in Sydney in 2002, Gelato Messina is argubly one of the most popular ice cream shops with outlets across Australia

Besides offering a variety of their signature flavours, the folks at Messina also constantly come up with new treats. Just think Apple Pie, Thai Milk Tea with Pandan Fudge and Yoghurt & Caramel! Even if it sounds funky, give it a try because they’re probably still amazing.

Known for its locally-inspired ice cream flavours including Orh Haw (hawthorn berry), Orh-Bee-Good (pulut hitam) and In-Kueh-Dible (salted coconut & gula melaka), The Humble Scoop started with humble beginnings at the basement of Katong Shopping Centre.

The Humble Scoop has opened its second outlet in Kovan at Stars of Kovan. Following the opening of Naked Ice Cream in late June 2021, this is the second new ice cream shop to open in Kovan.

They pride themselves on locally inspired ice cream flavours and they do not use any colourings, flavourings or additive in the ice cream.

The new outlet is located at Stars of Kovan #01-02, just a short walk from Kovan MRT Station.

One of the ice cream flavours that you must try is the Orh Haw. Made of hawthorn berries, this flavour brought us back to the time where we used to secretly eat Haw Flakes in class. Both flavours were super refreshing—just what we needed in this sweltering heat.

The Guava Sour Plum was well-balanced, with sweet, salty and sour notes complementing each other, and tasted exactly like when we drench our guava slices with sng buay powder.

We adore our ice cream and we love how over the years, more exciting, unheard of flavours have popped up in the market. Nutty beer? Chilli Chocolate? Rhubarb Buttermilk? Sign us up.

We all have our favourite aisle in the supermarket, whether it’s “bread, spreads & jam” or “condiments & dried goods”. For some of us, though, it isn’t an aisle. It’s a full-blown section. That’s right, the ice cream section.

We know, that place is dangerous territory — where temptations flow like no tomorrow and any remnants of self-control we thought we had fade into oblivion. But, some days just call for an ice cream treat.

If you’re always reaching for that same Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey tub or that box of Magnum sticks, we’re here to introduce you to a whole new world. We’ve compiled a list of 10 other excellent ice creams right under your nose that you’ve been sorely missing out on!

How about trying something new for a change? You’ll never know unless you try.

#1 DREYER’S COOKIES & CREAM

This one’s for all the Oreo fans. Cookies & Cream is no groundbreaking flavour but Dreyer’s has really nailed this classic. Made from fresh milk, the creamy vanilla ice cream is generously dotted with cookie bits for that delicious crunch.

Best eaten with a warm fudgy brownie. Mmm.

Available at Fairprice, Cold Storage, Marketplace and Giant.

#2 KING’S TEH TARIK POTONG ICE CREAM

If you didn’t have potong as a child, did you really grow up in Singapore? Potong is no fancy gelato but we’ll always have a soft spot for this nostalgic treat.

As faithful as we are to our OG flavours, such as red bean and black glutinous rice, this Teh Tarik Potong is really leading us astray. It’s has a pretty strong tea profile, making it really aromatic. We can almost hear the slushing of the teh with every bite.

Available at Fairprice and Cold Storage.

LA CREMARIA ALMOND PECAN PASSION ICE CREAM

We don’t know which sounds better — the fancy name of the brand or the ice cream flavour itself. Either way, this brainchild of Nestlé’s is really a stunner.

Pecan-flavoured ice cream is swirled with chocolate sauce and almond chunks, promising a nutty, chocolatey and creamy indulgence. Definitely a must-have for nutty fans.

Available at Giant and Sheng Shiong.

#4 MELONA ICE BAR

With its slightly tacky font and plain design, Melona Ice Bar looks pretty unassuming. But, just wait for the plot twist. Fruity, smooth and carried by a hint of sweetness, This potong lookalike is shockingly good.

It comes in an assortment of flavours, from melon to mango, so go on and take your pick!

Available at Fairprice and Cold Storage.

#5 SAMANCO GREEN TEA ICE CREAM SANDWICH

What do you get when you cross a Taiyaki with an ice cream sandwich? No points for guessing. Samanco Green Tea Ice Cream stands out from the sea of ice cream tubs and sticks with its fishy outfit.

But it’s more than just its good looks. The combination of milky matcha ice cream with sweet red bean paste is truly a match made in heaven. The matcha flavour isn’t the most concentrated, so it’s great if you’re not into bitter notes.

Available at Fairprice and Cold Storage.

#6 THE ICE CREAM & COOKIE CO. ONDE ONDE

This brand hasn’t been around as long as some of the old-timers have but it’s certainly not to be trifled with. Their Onde Onde ice cream is a case in point. This coconut milk-based ice cream is infused with all-natural pandan extract and laced with coconut mochi, desiccated coconut and delicious gula melaka.

A taste of your favourite traditional kueh in every scoop. And yes, it’s dairy-free so even the lactose-intolerant people can rejoice!

Available at Fairprice, Cold Storage and The Marketplace.

#7 WALL’S ASIAN DELIGHT ICE CREAM — TARO

We can already hear the steps of the orh nee fans running towards their nearest supermarkets. This taro ice cream popsicle looks and tastes like yammy paradise.

Yam-flavoured ice cream spiked with actual yam chunks is coated in a refreshing layer of coconut confection. It’s smooth and fragrant with the occasional soft crunch. Good on you, Wall’s, good on you.

Available at Fairprice.

#8 WALL’S VIENNETTA 

Touted as “the fanciest ice cream cake of the 90s”, the Viennetta is a dreamy confection of layers upon layers of luscious ice cream and compound chocolate. Yes, sorry to disappoint, but there isn’t actually cake in it.

But, that doesn’t make it any less amazing. This supreme creation will surely have you feeling like royalty as you tuck into it. It’s available in two flavours — chocolate and vanilla.

Available at Fairprice and Giant.

#9 WARAKU HOKKAIDO FRESH CREAM DAIFUKU

Whoever thought of putting mochi and ice cream together, thank you. The bounciness of the mochi and richness of the ice cream go hand in hand to create an absolutely winning combination.

Good news — you don’t have to travel down to Japanese marts to get your fix of mochi ice cream. This daifuku ice cream made in Japan is every mochi lover’s dream come true, stuffed with a whole strawberry and fresh cream.

Available at Fairprice.

#10 WEI’S DARK CHOCOLATE

Here’s another great option for those who are sensitive to dairy. Wei’s Dark Chocolate sorbet is so rich and velvety you’ll scrambling to read the ingredient list to make sure there really isn’t any dairy in it.

And there really isn’t. Vegan-friendly, gluten-free and free of artificial flavours, it’s almost too good to be true.

Available at Cold Storage.

Good news, ice cream lovers! Chip Guan Heng, one of Singapore’s oldest ice cream distributors, is now offering island-wide delivery for their old-school ice cream at S$4 per block.

Located at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California, Salt & Straw is a well-known ice cream brand that has been serving up scoop after scoop of delicious and uniquely-flavoured ice cream since 2011.

Set up by cousins Kim and Tyler Malek, Salt & Straw has since been included on lists of America’s best ice cream, and only rightfully so for their innovative flavours which uses main ingredients that have all been locally sourced.

While we had thought that we escaped the Singapore heat, we forgot that the Californian sun could be as unrelenting during the Summer, and had been struggling to find a way to cool down when we stumbled upon Salt & Straw during our first afternoon at Disneyland California.

Joining the long queue, we browsed the flavours available and was surprised to find exotic ice cream flavours that we would never have imagined.

After a 25-minute wait, we were finally in front of the scooper who cheerfully acceded to our every request to sample their Black Olive Brittle & Goat Cheese, which was a little sweet and a little salty but had an overall goat cheese taste.

We eventually settled on a single scoop of Pots of Gold & Rainbows (USD$6), which was basically lucky charms with milk in frozen form, and a single scoop of the Chocolate Gooey Brownie (USD$6).

As chocolate lovers, the Chocolate Gooey Brownie blew our minds. Not only did the chocolate ice cream taste velvety smooth, it wasn’t overly sweet in any way. The bonus was the chewy chocolate brownie chunks that were mixed in with the ice cream, giving it a more texture on a whole.

The one interesting thing to note about Salt & Straw is that the flavours offered are not the same in every city. As such, no classic flavour menu is the same as the other.

To add to the variety available, Salt & Straw also comes up with seasonal monthly flavours such as the Magical Unicorn ice cream, which is a fruity swirled blue, pink and yellow ice cream that is mixed with homemade Oreos and cherries.

Taking over local bakery Prima Deli’s long-time spot in Clementi is One Stone Three Birds. The humble ice cream cafe serves homemade gelato at affordable price points. As there aren’t many speciality dessert cafes in Clementi, One Stone Three Birds might be well on its way to being the go-to ice cream place in central Clementi.

The shop is run by a husband and wife duo, passionate to find new flavours and infusions for their ice cream. Check out what we thought about this new ice cream shop!

Located just a short walk from Clementi MRT, right behind Clementi Mall, is One Stone Three Birds. Just newly opened in August, this new ice cream shop has drawn in quite a bit of an audience as a new dessert spot in this highly-populated area.

Boasting peach-pink walls and funky decor, One Stone Three Birds makes eating ice cream a picture-perfect opportunity.

We ordered a double scoop of their Salted Caramel and Black Sesame Ice Cream (S$7), accompanied by their chocolate-batter Waffle Sticks (S$3).

Their Salted Caramel ice cream was indulgent and very delicious, being a good blend of salty and sweet. We did notice a few bites of ice cream being a little more salty than we’d like but it was still good nonetheless.

We absolutely loved their Black Sesame ice cream. It was smoky and had a distinct flavour of black sesame, dotted with roasted sesame seeds for a nice textural contrast. Its sweetness was perfectly balanced out by the roasted aroma from the sesame!

Their waffle sticks, made with a waffle iron that had churro-shaped moulds, were crisp on the outside yet moist on the inside. As they were not too sweet, they complemented the ice creams impeccably well.

Check out their other flavours if you’re in Clementi – think Hojicha, Rose and even Espresso Banana!

Seeing how we are stuck with this unforgiving weather all year round, it’s no surprise that many of us are on the perpetual search for new places to get our ice cream fix in Singapore. This time, our search has led us to Mingle Mangle, an ice cream parlour nestled at the edge of Hougang that scoops up a selection of classic and unique ice cream flavours.

At Mingle Mangle, there are more than 10 waffle flavours for you to choose from. Think dark chocolate, peanut butter, black sesame or even super spicy chilli and chicken cutlet – we were obviously spoilt for choice! Unfortunately, we only had room for one waffle so we went for the Matcha Waffle (S$6.50).

Crispy and airy, we were impressed at how fragrant the waffle was. Not only did the inside of the waffle have the distinct matcha green colour, but the overall flavour also stayed true to what matcha is supposed to taste like as well: bitter and earthy.

We paired our waffle with a Double Scoop (S$6.60) of Honey Cornflakes and Mud Slide. The former was delightfully sweet with cornflakes that were a bit soggy while the latter was decadent and rich. We appreciated how the ice creams at Mingle Mangle were not cloying and did not melt that fast too.

We also sampled the Chilli Crab and Hainanese Chicken Rice flavour. While they were well-executed, we were not adventurous enough to have a whole scoop of it. Those who have exotic taste buds should definitely make a trip here to try these interesting flavours.

In a tropical, almost unforgivably humid country like Singapore, ice cream is essential. And fortunately for us, there are lots of ice cream options to choose from, from artisanal ice cream parlours, convenience store varieties and even those sold on carts along Orchard Road.

At its heart, ice cream is merely a composition of milk and cream but what sets a good one apart from a great one is the quality of the ingredients used and the careful manipulation of sweetness and richness. A brand that never fails to exceed expectations, presenting an intensely pleasurable experience with every lick, is Häagen-Dazs.

In the spirit of Christmas, the colossal brand has released two limited edition flavours—Cream Cheese Mochi and Tiramisu Mochi. An extraordinary marriage between traditional Asian mochi and European desserts, each and every soft, pillowy morsel presents a flavour and textural profile that far surpasses the common ice cream dessert. For an amplified experience, head on down to one of their stores to enjoy full-on crafted desserts featuring the two seasonal offerings such as the So Mochi Together Fondu and the oh-so-gorgeous Gondola Tiramisu.

A duo that aims to bring joy and sheer decadence to both the young and the old, what better way to soak up the festive Yule, than to cosy up around your loved ones, sharing and indulging in top-quality ice cream?

TWO DAZZLING NEW FLAVOURS 

The brand prides itself on only sourcing the best ingredients from around the world to concoct their various ice cream varieties and their two new offerings are no exception. The mochi is steamed in Taiwan and the Tiramisu Mochi—along with its cream cheese counterpart—derive their cheese fillings from Europe.

Singaporeans love their cheese and as recent food trends have shown, we love having cheese in desserts, in tea, in buns, in everything.

Made with top quality cream cheese from Europe, the new Häagen-Dazs Cream Cheese Mochi (S$14.50) ice cream has delicate cheese notes that delivers the authenticity of a light, creamy taste just like a fluffy cheesecake. Scattered throughout like precious jewels are small delicately-sized, steamed Mochi pieces that do well to provide a chewy texture with every bite.

The new Häagen-Dazs Tiramisu Mochi (S$14.50) ice cream uses real Mascarpone from Italy and, again, features the pillowy steamed Mochi bits from Taiwan. Uniquely soft, almost buttery and accented with a pleasant chew, the ice cream boasts a heady profile of coffee with a slight sour tinge to it from the mascarpone. A surefire hit among coffee lovers, this was easily our favourite flavour between the two.

SO MOCHI TOGETHER FONDUE

Buying a tub and enjoying their ice cream in-store is never quite the same. In-store, they come up with a myriad of creations which change on a frequent basis depending on the product that’s in season, so as to amplify said limited edition flavour.

A royal rumble of various ice cream and sorbets, the So Mochi Together Fondu (S$46++) comprises Tiramisu Mochi, Cream Cheese Moshi, vanilla, Belgian chocolate, white peach & raspberry, green tea, mango and raspberry ice cream, along with mango and raspberry sorbet.

Along with fruit and cookie accompaniments that serve to provide vibrancy and texture—all neatly arranged around a pot of melted chocolate—this massive treat is ideal for sharing among a family and is also a great way to try out all their flavours.

BISTRO PARIS

Elegantly plated, the Bistro Paris (S$21.90++) sees a cheesecake that’s adorned with a berry purée, macadamia nuts, kiwi bits, biscuits and various chocolate elements. The ice cream of choice for this dessert is the Cream Cheese Mochi and to balance out the richness of it, a healthy scoop of raspberry sorbet.

CHEESE FOAM GREEN TEA LATTE

Providing a subtle bitter-sweet flavour, the Cheese Foam Green Tea Latte (S$8.90++) is an excellent choice to lounge about with. Topped with a sweet cheese foam, the otherwise robust bitter flavour is given an added surge of sweetness.

Served alongside it is a brittle along with a scoop of the Cream Cheese Mochi ice cream.

GONDOLA TIRAMISU

A dessert that’s literally too beautiful to consume, the Gondola Tiramisu (S$19.90) amazes with its intricate detail and promise of sheer decadence with every eager mouthful.

A wonderful expression of the new Tiramisu Mochi ice cream, a bowl made entirely out of chocolate is fitted with lady finger biscuits and additional coffee and vanilla-flavoured ice cream are added to further emphasise the apparent notes of coffee and rich cream. Caramel brittles are also scattered around the plate to provide texture and a profound nutty flavour.

TIRAMISU COFFEE

The Tiramisu Coffee (S$7.10++) is essentially a liquified version of the Italian dessert, right down to the creamy core. This coffee-intense beverage packs sweetness and a delightful hint of vanilla that is nicely underscored by a strong, subtly bitter hint of coffee—a good reminder that we were still threading along the lines of a flavoured coffee rather than a dessert.

Sweet, robust and creamy in all its glory, this unique cuppa is perfect should you ever be hankering after a midday pick-me-up.
