It makes sense. Singapore is hot all year round, and soft serve ice creams and froyo (frozen yogurts) should do well. The only question is, what took us so long?
In Korea and Taiwan, soft serves have caused snaking queues from dessert shops to within mini-marts. Yes, go to a Family Mart and get in line for a tall vanilla serve.

Back in Singapore, the frenzy has just started. Just make a walk to 313 @ Somerset. It won’t be long before other shops take cue, and you may soon find honey combs stuck on the top of your sweet treats.
Here are 10 of the newest and best places you can find soft serves and frozen yogurt in Singapore. Time to be more than Under Happy and start queuing llao llao.

Honey Creme
313 Orchard Road, 313@Somerset #01-37 Singapore 238895 (Somerset MRT, next to 313 taxi stand)
Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm
Best texture. Longest queue. Also most “over-rated”
Queue time can stretch anything from 10 to 40 min. The texture of Honey Creme was lovely – rich and milky, so smooth it could glide down the throat. Taste wise, the ice cream wasn’t overly sweet. But at $5.90 for a Caramel Popcorn, it can be a small and expensive cup. Many say it’s “over-rated”, but the lines are still going strong. (Read: Honey Creme 313 @ Somerset)

Sunday Folks
44 Jalan Merah Saga, #01-52, Chip Bee Gardens
Opening Hours: 4pm – 10pm (Tues-Fri), 12pm -10pm (Sat-Sun). Closed Mon
Best tasting flavours
From the originators of Creamier at Toa Payoh, Sunday Folk’s ice creams ($7.20) are freshly churned and served in a delicious handmade charcoal cone. Their flavours are distinct, from the popular favourites of Earl Grey Lavender and Sea Salt Gula Melaka, to the tried-and-tested Roasted Pistachio and Summer Strawberries. Most hipster looking. Will sweat if you come during the weekends.

AmaSoy
ION Orchard, #B4-64 Orchard Turn (Orchard MRT)
Opening hours: 10am – 10pm
Best value for money
Better known for their Japanese collagen soy puddings and Hokkaido milk drinks, AmaSoy’s newly introduced Matcha Softserve is great value for money at $2 per cone, and $2.30 per cup for its promotional price. $2!!! The texture is milky and smooth, as good as those you would get in Japanese restaurants, matched with a subtle delicate taste of green tea. So affordable. Get 2, or more! (Read: AmaSoy)

Honeycomb
30 Bali Lane Singapore Singapore 189866 (Bugis MRT)
Opening Hours: 12pm – 10pm (Mon, Wed, Thurs), 12pm-12am (Fri-Sat), 11pm-6pm (Sun), Closed Tues
Most gimmicky looking
The boys from Stateland Café next door diversified into Korean style soft serve and frozen yogurt. 5 flavours are available – classic, chocolate, caramel, matcha, and apple & cinnamon. All ranging from $6 – $7. Each cup comes with a real honey comb, and a gimmicky looking stringe which squeezes out liquid honey. Wished it didn’t melt that fast.

Thank you @elainegirlgirl for the photo
The Cold Pantry
131 Rangoon Road Singapore 218409
Opening Hours: 12-9pm (Mon, Wed-Thurs), 12pm-10pm (Fri-Sun), Closed Tues
Most interesting flavours
Thai Milk Tea yogurt? Take my money! The Cold Pantry which took over the shop space of Liberty Coffee serves froyo with home-made ‘honeycomb’ – not quite the real deal. They created the ‘honeycomb’ themselves. The Cold Pantry offers weird flavours, like their Movie Date ($5.90) with nacho chips and popcorn. Serious.

Beegurt
11 Sin Ming Road (Thomson V Two) Singapore 575629
Opening Hours: 12pm – 11pm (Mon-Thurs), 12pm-1am (Fri-Sat), 12pm-11pm (Sun)
First in Singapore – Yogurt & Honeycomb
Beegurt is probably the first in Singapore to combine the two – frozen yogurt and raw honeycomb. Their special honeycomb with yoghurt ($6.80) allows you to choose from 2 toppings from a variety such as fresh fruits, nuts and cheesecake. Also one of those shops that opens past midnight during weekends. Wait! Who eats froyo at 1am? You?

Tsujiri
100 Tras Street, #01-14 Singapore 079027 (Tanjong Pagar MRT)
Opening Hours: 10am – 10pm
Most ‘Matcha’
For fans of Matcha, this 150-year old Japanese Tea House comes from Uji, Kyoto. Its Tsujiri Parfait ($7.50) may be a tad pricey for its size and quick to melt, it is definitely one delightful dessert you do not mind having again and again if you are a matcha fan. The humble shop now serve a new BIG O-maccha ($5) or Vanilla Soft Ice Cream ($4.80) topped with shiratama and anko red bean. Itadakimasu!

Godiva
Basement 2, Takashimaya Department Store, 391 Orchard Road, Singapore 238873
Most pricey and indulgent
We know Godiva. But how many know about their rich and indulgent creamy chocolate soft serve ($8) with smooth chocolate sauce. For chocolate lovers, you won’t want to miss this. Only available at Takashimaya branch. Warning: $8 can be gone in a mouthful.

Milk & Honey
180 Kitchener Road, #02-K14 City Square Mall, Singapore 208539
Most customizable
Milk & Honey serves yogurt parfaits where many toppings such as macaron, marshmallows, crumbles, meringue, and chocolates are handcrafted by their dessert chef with “5 star hotel experience”. There is an element of fun where customers can design their own parfaits which are available in regular, petite or mini sized. Quick! Instagram your creations before they melt.

Llao Llao
313 @ Somerset #B3-55, Plaza Singapura #01-22A, Singapore Polytechnic Food Court 3, Marina Square Shopping Mall Marina Link #B1-04 (NTU soon)
Most fast expanding
Save the best for last. Founded in Spain only during 2009, the brand is expanding at an amazing rate. Made from skimmed milk at the moment of serving, its Sanum ($6.50) is cleverly topped with fresh fruits, crunchy bits such as cereal, and drizzled with sauces. This gives people the perception it’s healthy. Perception. Oh well, I liked its texture, and having more fruits doesn’t hurt.
The queues are still going on, and on, and on.
Frozen by A Thousand Blessings from Melbourne has also arrived to Singapore. So which soft serve and froyo makes you “Above Happy”?
