Yet another soft serve brand where long queues all-day are a normal scenario, Honey Crème must be doing something better than the rest of its competitors. It offers a wide variety of flavours, some of which are introduced seasonally, and they come in generous portions for the prices you can afford.

Highlights:

Rich, smooth, and silky soft serve ice cream: At Honey Crème, the soft serve ice cream shows a perfect balance between all flavours and the way they were mixed up altogether (i.e. handmade technique). Hence, the rich and silky smooth consistency.
New flavours may be introduced occasionally: This year’s Chinese New Year, Honey Crème had Alishan milk tea and Yuan Yang flavours on its menu. And to celebrate SG50, this ice cream parlour introduces the local favorite flavour Honey Creme Pandan Gula Melaka from 1 Jun 2015 to 30 Sep 2015. So remember to watch out for the new flavour specials during public holidays or important occasions.
Organic cotton candy: Indeed, a fresh spin on this candy floss, the cotton candy is made healthier than before with the use of organic sugar and natural flavouring. The cotton candy is also stuffed with Italian pink rock salt to balance out the natural sweetness of both of the candy and the ice cream.

Flavours
Honey Crème have more than ten flavours on its daily menu. The flavours range from classic to signature ones like Organic Mixed Grains, Macaroon, Dark Chocolate, Honeycomb, and Chocolate Beans. Coffee lovers with a sweet tooth may like the Organic Cotton Candy Affogato flavour. You can drizzle a shot of espresso into the cotton candy however you like it.

Toppings
The toppings may vary depending on the flavour of your choice. It can be as simple as dark chocolate syrup for the dark chocolate flavour. Or, it can be as complex as having a mixture of grains such as brown rice, flax seeds, oats, pearl barley, soy beans, rye, black sesame seeds, and black glutinous rice.

One of the first Korean soft serve brands to arrive in Singapore, Honeycomb has surely gained a lot of loyal fans. Expect long queues in its popular outlet but Apple & Cinnamon, which is the best Korean soft serve it offers, will compensate for your effort. Honeycomb is known for its classic flavours, perfect for first-timers who want to have a safe soft serve experience.

Highlights:

A 2-in-1-dessert destination where you can have both the soft serve and frozen yogurt: If you like your soft serve strong and sweet, Honeycomb won’t disappoint. This brand only uses fresh milk for their soft serve flavours so the distinct milky and creamy taste may linger in the mouth. For those not in the mood for a milky soft serve, then by all means, the yoghurt-based variant may work. Be aware that there might be a noticeable difference between the two especially when mixed up with other ingredients. Some say that the honeycomb flavour does taste better with yoghurt than soft serve.
Get your right sweetness level hit with the honey syringe: Albeit gimmicky, it is still something that will catch your attention and make your soft serve more beautiful. It’s probably one factor that made Honeycomb popular among Singaporeans but in fairness to the quality of the honey, it seem to not change a bit despite being inserted into a syringe tube.

Flavours
Honeycomb’s soft serve flavours are limited to 5 – Classic, Chocolate, Caramel, Matcha, Apple & Cinnamon. All of these flavours already come with a chunk of honeycomb and liquid honey.

Recommended Flavours
– Apple and Cinnamon
– Matcha

Price Range: S$6 – S$7
