Good experience. Flavor was good but topping portion was small. Worth a try.
The uji matcha ice shaving was good and there was a faint bittersweet aftertaste characteristic of matcha with every spoonful of ice shaving. The serving wasn't big for a dish described as a "monster", and it might be just right for two to share! The toppings of matcha and osmanthus jelly were lightly-flavoured and paired well with the ice shaving, although we didn't expect them to be served in separate dishes.
Overall a good dessert, but it is a little pricey at $12.90++ 😨 Felt like a more upscale version of 记得吃! Also be prepared to queue as it is popular as a supper spot at tanjong pagar!
In line with their cute concept, the Monster Waffle ($10.90) was shaped into the store’s adorable Roji mascot. Eggy and slightly dense, the warm waffle disc had lovely crispy edges that matched well with their soft serve ice cream. Milky and smooth, the ice cream was pretty rich and not too icy. The waffles were also served with small dabs of homemade matcha cream and chocolate syrup.
Made for the ‘gram, Roji Monster’s selection of specialty shaved ice does score on the aesthetics with the cute gooey icing sugar eyes but perhaps a little too pricey for the portion. Worthy of a try, the Uji Matcha Monster Ice Cream ($12.90) was my favourite of the two with a good dose of earthy, bittersweetness. Though it melted a tad faster than the Black Sesame Monster Ice Cream, the lingering and well-rounded tea flavour of the Uji matcha was something I enjoyed.
Packed with a pronounced black sesame flavour, the Black Sesame Monster Ice Cream ($12.90) was somewhat “sandy” in texture but the nuttiness was certainly welcomed. Robust and rich, the layered ice was not too sweet and overall features the strong earthy notes of grounded black sesame seeds - perfect for goma fans if you can get past the mouthfeel. Oh and each order of their monster ice cream comes with a choice of two complimentary toppings.
Thought it was just a gimmicky cafe but daaamnnnn the waffles were perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Batter was super tasty too. Milk ice cream, matcha cream and chocolate syrup complemented the waffles super well but my favourite of all has to be that milky white goodness.
