Titus Low made all major tabloid headlines earlier this year – for the charges surrounding controversial content-sharing platform OnlyFans and then once again, for his marriage (real or not, we still don’t know) to Malaysian influencer Cheryl Chin. In any case, there’s one thing we can vouch for: he’s opened up a new ice cream shop in Chinatown.
With a name like OnlyCreamery, it is a tad bit tongue-in-cheek but the menu appears to take its gelato seriously. More than a dozen tubs line the display, ranging from flavours like Vietnamese coffee to peanut butter banana. Crowd favourites, based on how well-scraped these tubs are, would be the sea salt butter caramel biscotti, hojicha mochi, and the Madgascan vanilla. The handcrafted gelato, as they call it, will set you back $5 for a single scoop or $9 for a double. Expect to top-up an additional dollar for premium flavours.
But besides a simple scoop in a cup, you can also opt to pair your gelato with a freshly baked waffle. Choose between the coconut pandan waffle or the original Belgian waffle – both are priced at $8. A Belgian waffle isn’t exactly revolutionary so it was the former we set our minds on. While some of us thoroughly enjoyed this for its crisp edges and somewhat chewy, mochi-like texture, others might’ve thought that the old-school pandan waffle you get from a local neighbourhood bakery would fare much better with ice cream.
They do also have a Vietnamese drip coffee (from $5) that’s made according to the traditional recipe – with lots of condensed milk. Otherwise, freshly brewed tea (from $6) and a honey yuzu drink (from $6) are other beverage options.
