Get TCM-Inspired Ice Cream With Red Date Longan And More At Suntec City

Synthesis has TCM-inspired ice cream at Suntec City In recent times, we’ve seen various spins on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) by F&B brands, including LULI at Marina Square with its herbal bubble tea and My Awesome Cafe , set in an old TCM hospital.

Get TCM-Inspired Ice Cream With Red Date Longan And More At Suntec City

LULI: China-Famous TCM Bubble Tea Brand Opens At Marina Square The ice cream can be purchased outside the restaurant, which is strikingly on-theme—its walls are lined with medicinal components and Chinese ornaments. There are also various herbs littered across the counter, such as ginseng, ling zhi and more.

The ice cream flavours here are split into two tiers: Classic ($6) and Premium ($7) . Two cups of the former come in a special agreement at $10, while two cups of the latter will set you back just $12. During our visit, the only Classic savour left was Soy Wheatgrass ($6) .

The presence of wheatgrass here gave the ice cream a strong, earthy flavour, which was admittedly strange-tasting on the first bite, but we can see some people enjoying it. The Red Date Longan ($7) , one of the Premium flavours, close to tastes like a drink your grandmother would make for your nourishment.

Like the previous savour, this one takes some getting used to, but those who enjoy their fruity flavours will love it. Another premium taste is the Wintermelon ($7) , which is somewhat reminiscent of wintermelon candy—albeit a much creamier ice cream version. It is quite the refreshing treat, with a subtle sweetness that just works on a hot day.

Do note that the seasonal flavours will be swapped out from time to time, and are subject to availability. Either way, you can expect a rotating lineup of interesting TCM-inspired ice cream flavours to try here.
