Tucked in a small corner at Pavilion, search for Cotton On and you’ll find this kiosk opposite it. Japanese shaved ice flavoured with matcha syrup and sweetened peanut sauce. We preferred sans peanut sauce as it overpowers the fragrance of matcha
An excellent way to cool off the sweltering tropical heat. I’m no kakigori expert but the ice here is very fine and not the typical coarseness you can find in ice kacang and ABC. Uji matcha is gao (rich) version of matcha and it comes with azuki beans and drizzled with uji matcha sauce. It is really popular so it may be hard to get a seat during peak periods.
This new entrant to Pavilion is no stranger to us all, especially dessert lovers. With the opening of its third outlet, Kakigori also gives us new, never-before-eaten delicacies to try! We’re talking about the Omugi Soup with Matcha Ice Cream (RM18). This hot zenzai (Japanese sweet soup) is a health-giving bowl of warm barley cooled with a dollop of matcha ice cream, served with osmanthus honey, matcha jelly and red beans. The elaborate combination strikes a delightfully harmonious balance between sweet and bitter, hot and cold. The other new item that’s most likely to lure shoppers to stop for sweets is the Yoyogi Custard Pudding (RM11), burnt caramel custard pudding that slides off the spoon for a perfectly dense and creamy treat.
Avg price per person: RM15
Utterly impressed by this new offering at Kakigori. I’ve never been a big fan of shaved ice desserts and it’s absolutely joy to find they’ve doubled the amount of non-kakigori Japanese sweets on the menu. This is one of them. Caramel puddings are extremely common in Japan (and Family Mart). The texture of this one is surprisingly dense and yet, not so that it stops you from wanting more. On top, the burnt caramel screams with sweet zest and just enough of a smoky finish for it to linger in the back of your tongue.
RM11 also makes it one of the cheaper and (in my opinion) better valued items.
Tiramisu as the go-to classic flavour with Black Forest as the modern flavour 😍 good for anyone be someone who’s sweet tooth or not!
Honey Rose Baklava Kakigori (RM22)
Rose Honey Cake (forgot the price sorry 😣)

OMG I should have done this earlier because it's the last weekend for these two promotional items but no matter.....These two items were released by Kakigori for the Ramadan season. This is a very interesting flavour because they use actual rose honey, honey milk, fresh pistachios and walnuts, honeycomb and baklava pastry pieces in this dessert. I am a huge fan of rose-themed desserts in general so this was a must-try! It was the most delicious kakigori I've had from here so far! The kakigori itself was intensely fragrant with the scent of honey, milk and roses. Within the kakigori itself was a ball of chopped pistachios and walnuts which gave it a lovely nutty flavour. Alongside the kakigori was a tiny bowl of super sweet and fragrant rosewater/honey syrup. At the bottom there was more milky cream/espuma, nuts and honeycomb! It was a taste of the middle east, but with snow! The rose petals were perfectly edible as well, and they're not bitter or anything so they add a nice aromatic neutral flavour to the dessert. The rose honey cake was delicious with its fresh and fragrant rose cream, crunchy honeycomb and soft yet hearty honey graham cake. I would rate this 9/10 because service and ambience was great but there wasn't enough good seating space available.

Curious about the flavour of a Japanese cherry blossom or Sakura, I decided to try out the new seasonal Sakura kakigori from this eponymous popular Malaysian dessert bar(its Pavilion KL outpost specifically). The taste of the pink shaved ice is unique, it is something of a dull mild sweetness and the slight tartness you reminiscent of sour plums and pickled fruit. The smell of it was similar to sour plum, but I realise it is because edible Sakura flowers are usually pickled in Japanese cuisine. The sakura syrup was evenly distributed throughout the shaved ice and I was honestly in awe at how uniformly tiny each ice crystal in the kakigori was, making it extremely easy and enjoyable to savour it by the mouthful. This kakigori also has a creamy espuma layer with red bean paste and a green tea jelly shaped like a large seed at the top, middle and bottom and an edible pickled sakura leaf which was fragrant and slightly salty which cut through the sweetness of the dessert just fine. .

This dessert will continue to be served at KAKIGŌRI until the 15th of April so do visit there before then if you want to try it out!
