Sweet Monster Singapore - Korean Popcorn Ice Cream (Plaza Singapura)

Sunday, December 27, 2015 sher (: 0 Comments


With so many Korean F&B franchises finding its way into Singapore, one can't help but wonder if these stores are really that popular in Korea or perhaps just riding the K-wave. Sweet Monster is the latest addition to the party. Although it just opened early December, the queues were non-existent at their Plaza Singapura branch when we got there. Nevertheless, Sher's sweet tooth was aching and we stopped for their signature Caramel & Cheese popcorn ice cream.   


As you can see, they have quite a few popcorn flavors including several interesting ones such as chocolate, strawberry and milk. You can request to try the popcorns before deciding on your flavor.


Prices are not cheap, although you do get quite a big serving of ice cream. The popcorn only coats the outside, everything inside is good ole milk (75%) ice cream.


Visually, the popcorn ice cream is without a doubt, a head turner. Taste-wise, the ice cream was rather sweet but creamy. With the caramel popcorn, what we got was sweet on sweet, almost to the verge of being cloying. Thankfully, the cheese popcorn lent a much needed saltiness to the whole affair. 


As their signature popcorn ice cream was very much a let down, we don't think we would be back to try Sweet Monster's other offerings. For $6.80, we could almost get a Sanum from llaollao ($6.95). Still, those gift boxes are adorable and we could imagine that they would make a cute, and hopefully somewhat edible gift.
