We have always been a fan of snow ice. This popular Taiwanese dessert – made of ribbons of flavoured ice topped with fresh fruits – is an indulgence, and a much-needed treat to combat Singapore’s weather.

Snow Colors Dessert & Bar – a simple, no-frills dessert shop located at the ground floor of Katong Plaza, just directly opposite the famous 328 Katong laksa – has brought this popular dessert to the next level by combining it with waffles. Brilliant move, we’d say.

A glorious mountain of snow ice piled atop piping hot and crispy waffle – It is like having the best of both worlds! We are surprised that no one had thought of this combination earlier. The other options include Waffles with butter and maple syrup (S$4), Waffles with fruits (S$7.50), and Waffles with snow ice & fruits (S$8.50). Go for the full works; it is satisfying as it is pretty. And the best part? No exorbitant price tags.

Waffles aside, Snow Colors offers quite an array of snow ice desserts (S$6) – from everyone’s favourite mango shaved ice, to the popular D24 durian snow ice with durian puree, Japanese matcha snow ice paired with red beans, and Chendol snow ice topped with candied red beans, green jelly and doused in gula melaka sauce.

The folks at Snow Colors are constantly testing new flavours in the kitchen, so we are looking forward to more interesting and creative creations from them. Snow Colors shares the same premise as Baba Peranakan, an eatery which dishes out earnest and affordable homecooked Peranakan cuisine. If you are in the Katong and Joo Chiat area, you must drop by for Peranakan food and cool down with an icy treat.
