LOVE AT FIRST BITE: SUENO’s Gelato Set sends you on a thrilling sugary adventure the moment you bite into it. (PHOTO: Gwee Yu Xuan)
The rich smell of waffles and the buzzing sound of the espresso machines are the first thing you notice when you first step into SUENO. The Muslim-owned café ice cream café opened in 888 Plaza recently, serving mainly desserts including waffles and ice cream.
Their signature Gelato Set ($11.80) includes a single waffle, topped with a huge scoop of gelato ice cream and a colourful mocktail on the side. The waffles are slightly crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside, and are served with chocolate sauce and crushed cookies sprinkled around it.
The sweet cookies and cream-flavoured ice cream had cookie bits mixed in as well, giving it an extra touch and a bonus crunch. The meal also came with a mocktail on the side, served in a mini glass pitcher with mint leaves, making the drink more refreshed when you blend it with wild berry syrup. With a set that affordable and worthy, don’t be surprised if you make a second trip anytime soon after too!
