When you think of Lau Pa Sat, the first thing that probably comes to mind is local delights like our satay or chicken rice.
But with Singapore’s sweltering weather, wouldn’t it be nice to have something to beat the heat?
You came for the satay skewers, but now you can stay for some scoops.
Introducing Creme and Cone, a gelato boutique chilling things down at Lau Pa Sat’s locally-focused concept Food Folks.
The air-conditioned space houses more than 80% local food brands, like Nakoko, Fossa Chocolate, and more.
Staying cool whilst supporting local — you’re practically killing two birds with one stone!
So what exactly is Creme and Cone serving up?
Well, here’s the inside scoop.
The gelato boutique has a cone and a flavour for every craving.
There are 18 flavours to choose from. These range from classics like Minty Chip, Strawberry Milk, and Pistachio to locally-inspired flavours like Milo & Cookies and Pandan Gula Melaka.
A single scoop costs S$5.70, while a double costs S$9.70. To get a premium flavour, you have to add S$1.
Or if you’ve got some time to spare and a need for something more substantial, get yourself a single (S$11.50) or double (S$15.50) scoop on waffles.
Back to the non-waffle options. You can opt for a cup or cone, and while I usually steer clear of the latter for inevitable sticky fingers, I couldn’t resist going all in.
After all, Creme and Cone also hand-roll their gourmet cones, which come in various locally-inspired flavours. Who can say no to that?
The cones come in three flavours, mainly Original, Pandan, and Milo. Obviously, having chosen the Pandan Gula Melaka, I had to go for the Pandan cone which is apparently made with real pandan extract.
With one whiff, I was hit with the unmistakable, fragrant aroma of pandan so I knew they weren’t lying.
Taste-wise, you can’t go wrong with twin flavours, as the crunch of the cone pairs well with the sweeter, creamy Pandan Gula Melaka gelato.
Basically, it was pandan-on-pandan perfection.
While I didn’t have the stomach to try other flavours, my dining partner was happily digging into his 64% Dark Chocolate gelato. And from the online reviews, many sang praises for favourites like Lychee Raspberry.
Who says dessert time ends when the gelato does? The gelato boutique also offers small but satisfying bakes like Banana or Lemon Loaf (one for S$4.90, two for S$8) and Chocolate or Biscoff Brownie (one for S$7.90, two for S$14).
It’s clear that one scoop barely scratches the surface. Creme and Cone’s line-up of sweet treats proves that restraint is probably overrated, so it looks like a return trip (or two) is in order.
