Pardon the childishness, but the brownish grey soft serve literally looked like a pile of s*** when it was served. While all of us thought so, only one in our group blurted it out while the waitress served it to us.

Unlike the outlet at Cathay, Matchaya Icon Village has no seating area. You can, however, enjoy your desserts or drinks while standing at the Matchaya kiosk.

We ordered both the matcha soft serve and the mystery flavour soft serve - which happened to be Roasted Oolong. If you think Matchaya’s matcha soft serve is good, be prepared to be wowed. The roasted oolong soft serve is amazingly fragrant and carries the lovely roasted aroma of the tea very well. The flavour profile is more subtle than matcha, pleasantly creeping up on you and growing on you more with each bite. It’s also not too sweet, so all of us enjoyed this very much. The soft serve holds up quite well, and didn’t melt into a gooey mess. The butter biscuit stuck into the soft serve wasn’t particularly nice as it wasn’t as soft or fragrant as the Japanese butter biscuits we were used to, but it served its purpose as decoration quite well and didn’t get soggy despite prolonged exposure to the soft serve.

With Burpple Beyond, this set is extremely worth it and I would recommend heading down to Matchaya Icon Village to grab the Roasted Oolong mystery flavour before it’s gone!
