Weird and wonderful twists await! Here's the inside scoop on where you can get some of the most unique ice cream flavours in Singapore, and don’t forget to vote to let us know which is the best ice cream cafe in Singapore!
Grape Yakult Yogurt @ Merely Ice Cream
Not sure about you, but yakult was my favourite childhood drink, so to see an ice cream rendition of it truly makes my inner child sing. As the name suggests, this ice cream is made with natural Greek yogurt and everyone's favourite Yakult flavour. This is the perfect sweet treat if you don’t want to feel too guilty after!

Opening hours: 12 pm - 9 pm (closed on Sundays)
Tiger Radler @ Butterknife Folk
Butterknife Folk has caught the attention of many through its creative flavours, such as Tiger Radler which is now available on its webstore. The ice cream shop is known for changing their flavours frequently, and last year they released a multitude of local flavours in time for National Day which includes Milo Van, Kopi Gao, and even Chicken Rice! We wonder what they have in store this year. And if you come across a flavour that you really enjoy, better buy a tub home, or you might never taste it again!
Address: 107 North Bridge Road, #02-02 Funan Mall, Singapore 179105
Opening hours: 12 pm - 9 pm daily
Kaya Lotee @ Ice Cream Chefs
This creamy kaya-flavoured ice cream comes with chunks of toasted bread crumbs within. I don’t think there’s a Singaporean who doesn’t know bread and kaya – that’s a childhood staple many people who have grown up here would have indulged in. So it’s no surprise that this ice cream flavour is a hit with locals! Unfortunately this flavour doesn’t come in a pint, so the only way to enjoy it is to head down to their outlet.
Address: 12 Jln Kuras, Singapore 577727
Opening Hours: 12:30 pm to 10 pm (Mon - Thurs), 12 pm - 11 pm (Fri & Sat), 12 pm - 10 pm (Sun)
Singapore Chendol @ Udders
A favourite local dessert, Chendol has been reinvented into a slightly different dessert form, and we’re not complaining. This flavour first came out in 2016 for National Day, and it’s been part of Udders’ classic flavours ever since. Right now, you can purchase their Triple Joy Halal Bundle at $35.50 which consists of Singapore Chendol, Cookies & Cream and Awesomely Chocolate, or head down to one of their outlets to enjoy a scoop or two of the ice cream!

Pulut Hitam @ Island Creamery

Watermelon Soju @ FATCAT Ice Cream Bar
Those who take delight in alcoholic ice cream flavours will find Watermelon Soju a refreshing change from the usual flavours out there, and right now they have a pick-up promotion where you can get the third pint for just $10! Apart from their ice cream, the dessert cafe is also known for their variety of desserts such as brownies, burnt cheesecake and reverse s'mores.

Parmesan Cheese & Cream Crackers @ Tom’s Palette
Made with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, this ice cream is more savoury than sweet. Chunks of cheese rind are included as well, and it is well balanced out by ice cream’s creaminess and milkiness. If you need more reasons to try out a savoury ice cream – it really tastes better than it sounds!
Address: 51 Middle Rd, #01-01 Shaw Towers, Singapore 188959
Opening hours: Temporarily closed, only online pre-orders
Two Potatoes @ The Daily Scoop
Inspired by a trip to Kawagoe, Japan, this ice cream represents the love for all things sweet potato. Combining purple sweet potato ice cream with caramelised yellow sweet potato chunks, this dessert at The Daily Scoops gives you a brand new yummy way to eat your root veggies!

Blue Milk @ The Apiary
The bestseller at The Apiary, Blue Milk is a milk-based ice cream infused with blue pea flowers and seasoned with a pinch of himalayan pink salt. It may sound simple, but there's good reason why the ice cream is so popular amongst ice cream lovers: the ice cream is milky, not too sweet and it’s well balanced with a certain lightness that makes you feel like you’re eating clouds!
Address: 84 Neil Rd, Singapore 088844
