Directly translated from the Hokkien term ‘bo beh zao’ which means ‘incomparable and in a league on its own’ – in the horseracing context – the premium gelato store No Horse Run could quite possibly be a dark horse in the fancy ice cream parlour scene in town. The only thing, this whimsically named store is located nowhere near the CBD bustle – but right in the heartlands that is Yishun.
Enjoy unique offerings like cereal milk ($4.50), lemongrass pandan ($4.50) and Fleur De Cao dark chocolate ($5.50). The store also serves hot waffles which come in two flavours: classic buttermilk ($5.50) and the shop’s signature pandan gula melaka ($6.50), to go with your ice cream choices making it a complete meal.
No Horse Run was started by two friends Jason Lee and Chia Jia Ho and have shared that they aim to marry contemporary trends with local nostalgia – hence the fun flavours you find on the menu. The pair have also put thoughtful touches around the store like the old-school rooster plates and special sauces in nostalgic flavours like milo and caramel.
