Known for its ice cream served up at various farmers’ markets and street fairs, this dessert bar has had to alter its business model. Swapping out the ice cream to focus on cafe favorites during the pandemic they’re currently offering curbside service for coffee, tea, pastries, and a couple of savory items. We recommend grabbing a Malay curry beef sandwich and Rojak, or a Southeast Asian salad.
