Scoop of the day: After Hours Gelato has opened a new, second outlet in Bishan — and here’s why this is a big deal.
First, this outlet boasts two floors that exude different vibes!
On the first floor, choose between outdoor or indoor seating.
Or for a more private setting, head upstairs.
Whether you’re chatting over long communal tables or huddling in what I’d dub the “couple’s cave”, aka a snug nook built for two, the dimly lit space with closed curtains felt like a secret hideaway.
Found your cosy corner? Good. To sweeten the deal, there’ll be a one-for-one scoop promotion on opening day from 3pm to 8pm! This basically means bringing a friend or just treating yourself twice.
But if you’re unsure what to get, I’ve got you covered.
Of the 12 flavours available, the new ones include Earl Grey Lemon Tea (Dairy-free by the way — a win for anyone lactose-intolerant!) and Biscoff Cheesecake.
Price-wise, single scoops go for S$5 while double is S$9. Add a S$1 if you’re opting for the premium flavours.
And if you’re having it in a cone instead, add a S$1 as well.
We sampled Earl Grey Lemon Tea, as it’s the first time I’ve heard of lemon tea gelato so I just had to.
This was refreshing, light, and tangy. If you’re not indulgent, get this and you’ll probably want seconds.
Fan-favourites include Milky Honeycomb, Brownies N Cream, and Grape Yakult W/ Oreo Bits.
Compared to the rest, Milky Honeycomb was creamier. The honeycomb added a caramelised sweetness without being too cloying.
You can’t go wrong with the classic Brownies N Cream, as the rich chocolate flavour comforts the soul.
And finally, yes, even I had to do a double-take, the Grape Yakult W/ Oreo Bits. This sounds like an unlikely duo, but never judge a book by its cover (or more like its swirl).
First lick and I’m not exaggerating when I say this — but it tasted almost exactly like Grape Yakult. Sweet, milky, fruity, and with Yakult’s signature tanginess, it’s like licking (or biting, I won’t judge) the drink.
Personally, the soft Oreo bits didn’t do much for me, but it didn’t clash or overpower.
It’s like dunking your Oreo into a tangy, fruity milk.
Now for the headline act. If you don’t know what After Hours Gelato is known for, it’s their Signature Churros Mochi Waffle (S$8.50).
We got two scoops to crown this masterpiece — Milky Honeycomb and Grape Yakult W/ Oreo Bits.
Both flavours are starkly different, but worked amazingly with the waffle for various reasons.
Pair the waffles with Grape Yakult W/ Oreo Bits for a reminder of fruit-based mochis.
For Milky Honeycomb, the waffle’s toasty cinnamon and crunchy notes contrast nicely with its smooth creaminess for a rich, satisfying spoonful.
Aside from this, you must get the outlet-exclusive item — Dalgona Coffee Cream Butter Toast Set (S$18) if you’ve still got room for more.
A major throwback to 2020, this thick and soft toast, combined with a vanilla gelato scoop and the dalgona coffee cream, reminded us of tiramisu.
Finally, we ended with drinks — Iced Matcha Latte (S$7) and Watermelon Calpis (S$6).
The Iced Matcha Latte was not too sweet, while the Watermelon Calpis didn’t have as much watermelon flavour as we expected, but it was still refreshing.
