Food: Wimi Coconut Ice Cream

There has been a craze for coconut ice cream after some videos popped up on Facebook showing the dessert being served along roads in Thailand.

In Singapore, you can recently find this dessert at pasar malams (night markets) and the first one I tried was back during the Ramadhan bazaar at Geylang. 

The Singapore style was to have it with lots of sprinkles :D

Me and my sister were running some errands at Clementi and i wanted to get some supplies from Art Friend. So how awesome it was to find a coconut ice cream shop after we did our shopping! 

 COCONUT + ICE CREAM = HEAVEN IN THE MOUTH. lol.

Wimi! Cute name

I know there are a lot of jokes about the West side of Singapore but here you'll also find some of Singapore's best food and interesting places to visit! Furthermore, we have our own mini Orchard Road at Jurong East already with all the popular brands such as H&M, Uniqlo and TopShop.

My sister posing with the fridge filled with many small coconuts.

The weather was quite hot and humid today so there was a bit of a queue during lunch hour. We took this opportunity of waiting in line to snap some photos of the shop. The shop was really small but it didn't really matter as it's more of get-and-go kind of concept.

All the more we should drink coconut water :)

The coconuts they used were the small baby coconuts kind which i personally preferred to drink from. The flesh or meat from these coconuts are usually more tender and sweeter than their bigger counterparts. So who says bigger is always better? ;)

There were other coconut desserts but what we were aiming for was the Traditional Thai Coconut Ice Cream. At $4.90, it is at a much steeper price compared to the $3.50 one i had at Bazaar Geylang. 

They don't have soft serve for now but they have gelato for the same price instead :)

Normal toppings cost 50¢ while the Premium toppings cost 80¢. There is a more extensive range for you to choose from at the counter.

The price includes 2 scoops of coconut ice cream with 3 normal toppings and one small cup of coconut water. The normal toppings include the ones listed above and also others such as ice jelly, pineapple and nata de coco. For the premium toppings which cost 80¢ each, you can also choose lychee, pomegranate and sea coconut. 

Excited! hee

There were around 3 persons in the queue in front of us but service was quite fast and before long it's our turn to order. I let my sister choose her favourite toppings. The guy asked me if i wanted the 'normal' or 'stronger' ice cream. I asked him back, "Which is nicer?" and in the end he said, he let me try one scoop of each. :'D

Where is my ice cream?????

Our 3 Normal Toppings: Grass Jelly, Peanuts and Nata De Coco

Review: The coconut water was so good as a thirst-quencher but my sister doesn't like it. It is quite an acquired taste for some. For the ice cream, I'm not too sure which is the stronger flavour but there is certainly a difference between them both. One tasted milkier while the other seem to have more coconut bits. I would recommend for you to also get one scoop of each to try both variations.

Hope you like this post and try it out if you're in Clementi.

There are so many new shops popping up in the area as well such as Kowloon Express, which is a halal Dimsum restaurant and Toasties, the halal version of Subway. We will also review about them soon so do bookmark our page and share it with your friends :D
