As a form of respite, we turn to desserts, especially those of the cold, icy, and frozen variety.

Good news for fans of popular Cineleisure cafe The Assembly Ground — if you’ve yet to visit their ION Orchard outlet, now’s the best time to do so, because they’ve just unveiled a line-up of kakigori, or Japanese-style shaved ice, featuring five unique flavours.

So, yes, do not expect classics like matcha, red bean, or strawberries and cream.

I can definitely see myself going for the Thai Green Tea Apple Pie (S$17), which marries two universally-loved desserts — Thai green milk tea and cinnamon apple compote — topped with mascarpone and cookie crumbs.

Fans of nostalgic flavours will probably make a beeline for the Chocolate Banana (S$18), comprising chocolate milk, banana, mascarpone, chocolate malt flakes, and butterscotch sauce, crowned with a slice of brûléed banana.

Otherwise, the Tropical Earl Grey Tea (S$18) showcases invigorating flavours like pineapple, mango, and earl grey tea, that’ll make you feel like you’re on a fabulous beach vacay.

Kakigori is available from 12pm to 9pm daily, so you might as well make it a full meal with hearty mains like Shio Kombu Seafood Pasta (S$28), Mexican Pork Stew (S$30), and Steak & Eggs (S$32).

I’m so ready to beat the heat by digging into a bowl of kakigori at The Assembly Ground. What about you?
