[CLOSED] Aqua S Singapore @ Orchard Xchange – Whimsical Pastel Blue Soft Serve from Down Under Opens in Singapore; New Flavours Fortnightly

Update 19 Jan 2025: Aqua S has closed.

While I’m not too big on desserts, I’m always down for a lil sweet treat now and then. Heck, the more dramatic, the better.

So when the fantastically Instagram famous Aqua S from Sydney, Australia announced their plans to set up shop in Singapore, I was pretty intrigued. As I had never tried their pastel hued soft serve, often hidden behind a voluminous cloud of cotton candy on my social media feed, I was eager to try it out when they opened their doors this week at Orchard Xchange.

Regulars to Clarke Quay may have noticed the addition of a cozy takeaway kiosk selling puffy looking donuts on Havelock Road. Unlike other Japanese bakeries that have opened to much fanfare in downtown Singapore, Haritts Donuts & Coffee made its Singapore debut in May, in a rather quiet, understated manner – much like its pioneer shop in Tokyo, Japan.

Update 19 Jan 2025: Hei Kim Cafe has moved to Far East Plaza.

In a time where 8 out of 10 cafes charge an exorbitant $20++ for a mediocre eggs on toast, Hei Kim Cafe‘s crazy affordable prices for a simple eggs or pasta dish is incredibly refreshing. Located along the cozy stretch of Changi Road, this lifestyle cafe, which also houses xHundredfold‘s shop and studio, is a pretty new addition to the cafe scene in the east.

[CLOSED] Montana @ PoMo – Waffles, Soft Serve, and Brunch Items With An Asian Twist (Invite)

Update June 2020: Montana has closed.

Montana sure has come a long way from its humble beginnings some five years ago. From a humble waffle bar, tucked away in PoMo, this stalwart in Singapore’s waffle scene, has since grown into a two-storey hideout for brunch lovers in the heart of Selegie.

Looking at the recent additions to their menu, it’s not hard to see why Montana is what it is today!
