Burnt Cones Gelato (The Sail)

shiok

The colour of this purple yam (Ube) ice cream was probably a clear sign that one should not be ordering, especially when it tasted more of a sweetened milk with a miscue of flavour essence. It was just too sweet to make me want to finish the scoop that costed S$6.00.

Tasted neither like maple nor walnut - on first taste it had this weird cookie dough taste that wasn’t very pleasant. The only saving grace was the texture I guess, it was quite thick and smooth. Would not recommend.

My friends got other flavours and I got to try - the matcha is better, quite strongly matcha and reasonably bitter; the coconut lychee is also another flavour to avoid as the coconut cream taste was too strong and tasted quite off-putting, not refreshing at all and the lychee flavour was barely discernible; pistachio was lightly nutty but more on the milky side so those who prefer a more intensely nutty one would find it a bit mild.
I think the sunset way outlet has better flavours. But I’ve tried burnt cones thrice and it hasn’t really impressed so this visit affirms that it’s not someplace I’ll go to unless someone else suggests it + can redeem burpple. At the original price of $6 per premium scoop it’s a bit much for something that is *okay only*.

$26

Matcha a little sweet
Speculoos just right

waffles - highlight of the dish! One of the best (if not, the best waffles) 10/10

Ice cream was good too. Neither average nor super impressive. Probably somewhere in between yet not disappointing 7.5/10

photo quality 2/10 😂😅

** there weren’t many customers. I would think this gave them some time to cook the waffles so perfectly too! Would recommend trying the waffles w icecream over just getting the icecream

Really enjoyed this refreshing flavour of coconut & lychee which is exclusive to The Sail outlet. I could taste subtle hints of each flavour, though my friends said that they couldn’t taste lychee at all 😂 I like how thin and crisp the cone is! Usually have difficulty finishing a cone by myself but I had no trouble at all with this one 😋

Total bill is $7.70 : $6 for this flavour + $1 for the cone + $0.70 service charge. Though it’s a bit pricey for 1 scoop of ice cream, I would still recommend to try it at least once in your life 😄
