The Pistachio flavour is back at Aqua S until the end of March so I decided to go try as part of our search for good pistachio ice cream. What’s also currently on offering for the second half of March is the Grape flavour.

Since the signature flavour at Aqua S is the sea salt, we opted for the mixture of Sea Salt & Pistachio in the Black cone. It cost $6.40, but there’s the option to pay with FavePay so you’ll get some rebates at least.

First of all, can I just say how pretty this cone is?! The pastel green and blue tones are super sweet, and make for a gorgeous photo against the cloud-themed wall and cheeky “I got served in Singapore!” phrase in neon lights.

Tried the pistachio flavour first, which wasn’t as strong as we would’ve liked. There was only a slight hint of pistachio in the soft serve, which was immediately overpowered and overshadowed by the sea salt once we had a taste of it! The sea salt flavour at Aqua S was fantastic. The salt of the ice cream was actually a lot better than we expected, and had us lapping up the soft serve because it was so addictive. It helped that the ice cream wasn’t too sweet, so you won’t get sick of the taste. The cone also carried the taste of cocoa and didn’t get soggy after contact with the soft serve which was a plus!

I probably wouldn’t go for the Pistachio flavour if it ever makes its way back to Singapore again, but I would definitely go back for the Sea Salt flavour! Thank goodness that’s on the permanent menu cos it’s a winner!
