the day i heard that the daimaru department store on river valley road was closing down was a sad day indeed, even though i’m ever in singapore for a month, max, and the last time i was back here i only went to daimaru once.

that was enough time to discover the pokka gelato kiosk in the basement supermarket, where the scoops are light and milky and the flavours are like, kiwi yoghurt.

so, happy day, i poked my head in the other night to investigate the new japanese supermarket that has inherited the basement, and lo, the pokka geloto kiosk is still there. six words: sweet potato with roasted chesnut bits!

in a little over a week i fly back to the real world. how much gelato can i eat between now and then?
