Crazy Scoops Review: TikTok-Famous “Siao Ah” Vincent Lim Opens Cafe With Coriander Gelato And Croffles

Crazy Scoops is a new ice cream cafe by TikTok-viral Vincent Lim You may be familiar with Vincent Lim through the TikTok videos that his daughter @annalimsm posts—that recognisable “Siao ah!” that has gained him a load of fans and then some when she pranks him on camera. As for the name of the cafe, it was inspired by …

Crazy Scoops Review: TikTok-Famous “Siao Ah” Vincent Lim Opens Cafe With Coriander Gelato And Croffles

Food at Crazy Scoops On to the offerings—they’ve got a selection of 16 flavours that are made fresh at their factory. A single scoop of gelato is priced at $4.50 , with an additional $1 a scoop for premium flavours. Go for a double scoop , and that’ll set you back $8 .

They’ve got run-of-the-mill flavours such as Dark Chocolate and Simply Hazelnut , but those looking for something out of the ordinary can go for Coriander , which isn’t as gross as it sounds. You can have your ice cream in a cup or a cone ($1) , but we opted for a single scoop of Seasalt Matcha with our Croffle ($5.50) .

It’s not the flakiest inside, but the croffle does have the requisite layers of laminated pastry that you’d expect. The first taste that assaults you is the strong bitterness of green tea—which I enjoyed, but things got a bit confusing after, when the savoury sea salt kicked in. Following that, we as well ordered Crazy Scoops’ Waffle ($7) : made to order with a house-made buttermilk batter.

I was glad to find the insides of this waffle nicely fluffy, with an evenly brown and lightly crisp exterior. This, we chose to have with Black Sesame , which was our overall favourite for its nutty, earthy taste and creaminess. A taste that was popularised by Birds of Paradise , I couldn’t pass over White Chrysanthemum with Cacao Nibs when I saw it on the display here too.

The iteration at Crazy Scoops, like their other flavours that we tried, was much punchier with the chrysanthemum, unlike the more delicately floral version at BoP. Both the waffle and croffle come with a small jug of syrup that you can drizzle over your gelato.

Pair them with drinks including Affogato ($7) , which you can have with your choice of gelato. Fair warning that their espresso is brewed with an 80% dark roast, so it’s rather intense in savour.

Going to If you’re looking to meet Vincent, he’s, to frequent the cafe in the evenings, or occasionally in the afternoons too. Done up in clean white, Crazy Scoops is minimalistic in decor, and seats about 30 diners at a time. 30 Ice Cream. Waffles Cafes In Singapore, Including Those Open Till 2AM The verdict We were pleasantly surprised by the gelato we tried at Crazy Scoops, for as much as it popped on our radar thanks to a TikTok-viral personality.

The location might be rather out of the way, but for a neighbourhood hangout, plus the fact that they open till 1am every night of the week, this ice cream cafe is a worthy spot to add to your list of late-night dessert joints.
