Ice-Cream establishments seemed to be opening one after another these days; recent openings include the new outlets of The Humble Scoop at Stars of Kovan, The Better Scoop in Serangoon (formerly known as Just Because Creamery at Victory8 along Jalan Legundi in Sembawang) and Holy Cow Creamery at North Bridge Road. Then, there is also the new Moin Moin Gelato amongst other various new establishments — whilst being located in Blk 930 Yishun Central 1 and a short walk away from the Yishun Integrated Transport Hub (i.e. Yishun MRT Station, Northpoint City and Yishun Bus Interchange), its location is pretty much away from the hustle and bustle of the neighbourhood town centre.

It was hard deciding between the tea-inspired flavours of London Fog and Oolong Tea but I eventually settled for the latter probably because of how the said tea is my usual bubble tea order whenever I hit up a bubble tea joint, which felt more relatable to me. Indeed, the Oolong Tea Gelato here tastes pretty much to what I had expected — the tea notes aren’t particularly hard hitting on the bitter notes but there is a distinct aroma that starts off the first few mouthfuls with a complimenting creaminess that is akin to that of having a “macchiato” esque mousse mixed into the oolong tea. Liked how they did their own waffle cones here — got mine freshly-prepared since I visited them during night time and they were in the midst of preparing some while they were out of cones; the cone not only being sufficiently crunchy whilst not being overly thick, but also looked pretty neat and consistent with the same shade of brown throughout.

Yishun has been a neighbourhood known for having quite a number of ice-cream parlours especially of the late, with names such as Holy Cow Creamery, No Horse Run, Bloom Artisan, Hyogaki, Overscoop etc. all scattered within the deeper neighbourhoods of Yishun. Moin Moin Gelato’s location in Yishun Central 1 would probably appeal to those who are less likely to wander within the neighbourhoods — they also do carry options like the “Avalanche” and “Banana Split” which they have not yet started serving during our visit; also noticed that they do intend to serve bakes such as brownies and chocolate cakes as well. No doubt, another option for ice-cream within Yishun that is worth considering going for.
