Vanda Botanical Desserts brings the artistry of authentic Italian gelato to 313 Somerset, showcasing botanical flavours inspired by Asian flowers and herbs in a unique fusion that celebrates both European craftsmanship and regional ingredients. Located on Level 1 of this bustling Orchard Road shopping destination, the takeaway kiosk operates as a modern dessert destination where quality and innovation meet accessibility.
The gelato is crafted under the expert guidance of Italian Chef Loris Massimini of Pietrasanta Restaurant, who trained as an apprentice to legendary gelatiere Manuele Presenti of Chiccheria Gelateria—one of Italy best gelaterias. This authentic Italian foundation ensures every scoop meets exacting standards for texture, flavour balance, and ingredient quality. The botanical concept explores uncommon flavours like chrysanthemum, goji berry, and oolong tea, transforming Asian ingredients into sophisticated frozen desserts that intrigue both local and international palates.
Vanda Botanical Desserts has also introduced Japanese mochi gelato to Singapore, offering the chewy rice-flour coating as an optional add-on for just .50. This innovation brings together two beloved Asian dessert traditions in one convenient package. Pricing remains approachable with single scoops starting at .90 for classic flavours and .90 for premium options, whilst double scoops begin at .80—making artisanal gelato accessible for a quick shopping break or post-dinner treat.
Operating daily from noon until 9:30pm, the kiosk serves the constant flow of shoppers moving through 313 Somerset Orchard Road corridor. The combination of authentic Italian technique, creative Asian-inspired flavours, and convenient takeaway format has established Vanda Botanical Desserts as a refreshing alternative to conventional ice cream chains, offering genuine artisanal quality without the premium pricing typically associated with chef-driven dessert concepts.

I could only place my order after waiting in line for quite some time, as the staff were away for about 10 minutes, and the group ahead took a long time standing at the counter deciding on flavours. It might be more efficient if, while customers are sampling and discussing their choices, staff could take orders from the next customers in line.
The ice cream itself tasted fine, but the cone was disappointing as it was far too thin to properly hold the ice cream. The cone was already cracked when it was handed to me, and as expected, it quickly became messy.

Specially came here for the mochi ice cream yesterday, waited for 3 hours since 1pm.
After seeing other reviews, it seems like it wasn’t the first time they did this.

JERMINE
So good! Better than expected. You’re allowed to sample which is nice. Got the black sesame with mochi. Flavour is rich but not overboard, mochi texture is soft and easy to chew! Would return for it 🫶🏻

🍨🍧 Food & Taste: I ordered the black sesame ice cream and it was gloriously thick and creamy. The black sesame taste was strong and you can even taste the roasted sesame grains in the ice cream. Had a taste of the pistachio and Chrysanthemum goji flavours too. They were all so good! I wanted to order them all. Portion was good too!
📍 Place: Very easy to find. Next to TYPO, right when you come up from Somerset MRT to 313 mall.
🤵🏻 Service: Excellent. The staff was alone and had many customers to serve by herself but she was very patient with everyone and let everyone tried many flavours. She even offered more flavours for people to try. Very kind and generous lady.
💰 Price: $3.80 for a scoop (cheapest), and price can go up to $5.80/6.80 for the more premium flavours. For the price and portion given, very value for money!
🐣Waiting Time: The desserts were served fast enough. Would recommend buying ice cream from here, because the ice cream is really nice.

I like the idea of having the mochi wrapping your favourite ice cream.
I preferred the pistachio flavour to the white chrysanthemum. As the chrysanthemum goji berries have a tinge of salty taste. But its an individual preference.
C Crumbs
The black sesame ice cream was not sweet and creamy, I love the mochi skin exterior which is chewy and adds a great texture and mouthfeel to the gelato. Fantastic pairing!!
Drew Esa
Very cute and nice little place at the exit of the subway. It's so convenient to have ice cream on the way home. The choice of flavors is sufficient for most people, it is very important that all flavors are vegetable and natural. Treat yourself to a delicious and fresh dessert from Vanda. Personally, I took a ball of pistachio ice cream and a ball of strawberry ice cream.
