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

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.

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.
