Venchi (Marina Bay Sands)

Being at Venchi for the first time, I thought of going for one of their more interesting flavours - Matcha with white chocolate! Surprisingly, there was anything but matcha in that scoop! The ice cream tasted much more heavily of yuzu and lemon, with bits of white chocolate providing some sweetness.

Just to highlight, the mini scoop is not really that small and in my opinion, it is more than enough for one person!

Interesting flavours. Coconut flavour was refreshing. Matcha was my next favourite. Not much of a matcha taste but the chocolate bits were a nice crunch.

RICH. That is the best way i can describe the gelato at this place. I think one regular cup of 2 flavors for $5 is worth it. Meaning to say that if we didn't have Burpple I'm not too sure if I'd get it over other things like a magnum or something.

It was pretty sinful to say the least. I don't think I'd eat this while walking around outside though. Maybe in a mall or sitting down and having a long conversation sounds good. I think if they started selling hot chocolate it would be a big hit.

The dark chocolate here is top quality, they really do live up to their name as a brand that specialises in cocoa products. The dark chocolate gelato was good but too gooey in my opinion, tasted a bit more like sticky chewy than I like. Will defo get it again even if its not $5/scoop. The vanilla ice cream was surprisingly light and good and tbh I think it'd go really well with the dark chocolate gelato. Would've loved to have it at a chill and quiet cafe with some soft jazzy music. Just wanna feel classy with this luxurious gelato ~

I believe we ordered Salted Caramel, Stracciatella, Matcha and one of the chocolate gelato. I came expecting to see the Panna Cotta flavour but it has been sadly replaced by others 😭

I was quite blown away by the first mouth of the Salted Caramel and Stracciatella, but it was a little too sweet for me and melted pretty quickly as well. The matcha was a miss for me, the yuzu taste overpowered the matcha, and it was a confusing experience. The chocolate was rich and not too sweet, and my partner said that the matcha paired surprisingly well with the chocolate.

Overall, still worth it when purchased with Burpple Beyond, and bill came up to $10 for 2 cones and 4 flavours.

Redeemed this for free with a MBS voucher. It is pricey at its original price tag, but it was also a super rich, dense and sinful scoop of chocolate hazelnut gelato. Texture was thick and smooth. It was more on the sweeter end than what we usually prefer, but we didn’t mind the indulgence! If you have Burpple Beyond, you can get 1 for 1 of their regular scoops, chocolate bars and mix chocolates.

This combination of flavours were not ideal for me. I wanted to try the interesting blend of strawberry and chocolate chips - italian style. But it was overly sweet in my opinion. The tiramisu was acceptable flavour wise, with a strong coffee taste, and if you’re lucky/unlucky, you get a taste of an overly bitter coffee bean🥴 yet, it was not anything impressive. perhaps the flavours would be elevated better paired with other scoops. Nonetheless, since this were the two flavours I chose, I was arguably disappointed in how both worked out. I did have higher expectations for the tiramisu especially.
