Scoop Alert: Singapore’s Ice Cream Connoisseur Goes Off‑Grid
Li Hongyi, the man who earns a living writing policy while holding the honorary title of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s eldest son, has finally handed over his passport for a flavourful adventure.
The Sudsy Mission
- What he’s up to: He’s built a cheez‑ful map that ranks every scoop station on the island.
- Why he’s doing it: “I thought it’d be fun to share this side‑project,” he told Facebook on Oct 23.
- What’s inside the map: A list that isn’t comprehensive (but it is super helpful), with his personal reviews of each spot he’s tried.
Why It Matters
When the government is busy debating data privacy, this sweet note is a reminder that behind every policy document, there’s a kid who can’t resist a good vanilla swirl.
Takeaway
So, next time you’re hunting for the best milkshake in Singapore, remember Li Hongyi’s map. Trust us, it’s worth a trip (and a spritz of extra mint).
Singapore’s Creamiest Gems, According to Ice Cream Specialist Hongyi
Hongyi’s latest taste‑test has crowned a handful of ice‑cream spots as the crème to be seen in the Lion City, including a sweet shout‑out to both outlets of Birds of Paradise, which landed them in the top tier for their “super smooth and novel floral flavours.”
Creme De La Creme – the Creamiest of Creams
- Birds of Paradise – because nothing says “floral delight” like sprinkling roses into a scoop.
- Celine’s Gelato Cart – dubbed “probably the smoothest gelato I’ve found in Singapore.”
- Monarchs & Milkweed Gelato – a regal treat that’s as lush as a garden.
Double Cream – a second tier of whisk‑tastic wonders
- Ice Ke Lim
- Apiary
- Burnt Cones
- Merely Ice Cream
- Madlygood
- Wonder Gelato
- Cottontail Creamery
Sweet Cream – the sweet middle ground
- Butterknife Folk
- Inside Scoop
- Dopa Dopa Creamery
Creme Fraiche – not‑just‑ice‑cream delights
For places that wander beyond scoops, Hongyi flags a few stellar spots, like the chocolate-worthy Chocolate Origin and his personal favorite bingsu haven, Han Bing Café.
Help Him Finish the List!
He admits he missed quite a few places and is keen for fresh suggestions. If you’re riding the frosty wave and know a must‑visit cart or café that didn’t make the cut, drop him a line. Sending your own reviews helps Hongyi fine‑tune the map.
