10 Ice Cream Spots In Singapore With The Most Interesting Flavours
The crazy heat in Singapore makes all of us crave a sweet, cool and tasty treat. With more people hankering after ice cream, it's no surprise that there's been a rise in the number of ice cream parlours popping up across the island.
Ice cream flavours can get boring from time to time - the usual flavours of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla may look better in a Neapolitan than on its own, hence we’ve come out with a comprehensive guide of 10 ice cream parlours, cafes and bars that you can get unusual ice cream flavours to satiate your ice cream cravings!
