I choose DIY
Honey Yogurt+Brownie+Lotus with Mini Marshmallow topping, lotus & kit kat
When try to order a bit lost, the staff doesnt really explain how to order and did not give any recommendation. So i chose the above. The 1st time he do, the soft serve were super watery and flat and he say due to brownie, is supposed to be like that, but he hesitate a while and decide to re-do for me. He didnt used the whole brownie on 2nd time, left 1/3 brownie, [not sure is it suppose to give us as topping] since we top up extra $ for it, the brownie just chuck aside [wasted]
Will only try once for experience.

Interesting but alright. A little expensive for one scoop.
It kinda feels a bit gimmicky now - after all theres only so much you can do to a gelato without it being your fault if you decide to add strange ingredients in 😂 but being able to blend baked goods is quite interesting.
Most interesting thing we added was muah chee which made it interestingly gummy but we didnt dare to add the more crazy items. Was fun though.

Very cool concept especially for the gelatos the stall layout is quite interesting as well the service was excellent also had the Ferrero Crunch which was pretty good with the charcoal cone overall not too bad! The cinnamon toast blitz in the other hand was rather interesting with different textures and I like the slight saltiness would recommend. There’s a DIY also which you can make your own which Is nice if your feeling creative, Overall would recommend.

Great experience! Gelato ice cream tastes so real, organic and healthy, mine is black sesame with almond and sunflower seed.
It not so sweet, I can taste the sweetness come from the seeds themselves 😍 …

Chose Lao Gan Ma as I wanted something salty and spicy at the same time. I was actually looking for sparkling popping candies in the ingredients list and unfortunately they don't have it. I used to add that during the Magnum ice cream pop up years ago. Anyway, back to this, if you are always adventurous, try this. The combo really works, at least to me and it was a refreshing taste from the usual concoctions.
If you are not, I'm not sure if you will really like it.
Overall, for the pricing, it is worth to give it a try, it was pretty good👍 Will be back for the next flavour the next time I'm in town.
