The Little Prince Creamery is one of the few cafes in Singapore which tells a story. It is a tribute to the classic Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a story of friendship, love and loneliness.
Perhaps that is why this café has that ‘feel’ that cannot be replicated. This is where you would want to take refuge in a book to read on a quiet weekday mid-noon.
There is a painted set of stairs on the wall, symbolising the original café at Somme Road (now close) as the ground level, and the creamery as the second.
There are hand-drawn paints all over: a window with a hill view “outside”, a piano on the ice cream display. The Little Prince books in different languages were placed at the corner. Of which three are in blue, white and red. Coincidental, or carefully thought through?
This is the ice cream café with a story.
The hand-crafted gelato is said to contain only 8% fat and is eggless, with flavours of Pistachio, Hazelnut, Noir (dark chocolate), Rum and Raisins, Earl Grey Latte, Funky Monkey (peanut butter, banana and stracciatella), Fairy Berry (blueberry, strawberry and cranberry), Mango Kiss (yogurt base) and a dairy free Pineapple. ($3 for classic, $3.90 for premium).
Maybe I am bias, but I thoroughly enjoyed the waffle ($9.30 with 2 scoops of classic flavour), slightly more crisp than the usual, yet still with a soft inner texture. The gelato was milky, dense and creamy, the type that I fancy.
Sipping Rose Latte ($5) in a picture-filled cafe at an older estate feels romantic. The Little Prince Creamery is a beautiful space. Understated, but that is the way I like it.
