Tom’s Palette, popular homegrown gelato brand, has opened a second outlet in Kovan! This follows their main space in Bugis, known for their menu of unique local-inspired flavours.
Warm & Vibrant Interior
The shop exudes warmth and vibrancy with its sunshine yellow décor, complemented by teak furnishings.
There’s a full-length mural and yellow paintings on the walls. It’s simple but does the job of being a hideaway from the scorching heat.
Tom’s Palette Kovan Menu
The offerings are largely the same as the Bugis outlet. You can look forward to trying a rotating selection of over 18 handmade flavours. All flavours go for $5.20 for a cup and $6.40 for a cone, though you can opt for double or even triple scoops.
Their flavour selection includes White Chocolate Nori, Yali Poached Pear and Singapore-inspired Granny’s Favourite, which tastes like Horlicks!
They also offer Belgian Waffles ($3.80/half, $7.50/full) with the option to add gelato ($5.20 for single, $9.60 for double).
There are two Kovan-exclusives: The King Pin Cone ($7.80) and the Six Shades of Yellow ($29.80) tasting platter.
King Pin’s Cone
The King Pin’s Cone ($7.80) is inspired by Kovan’s history as a coconut plantation. It features a homemade cone with putu mayam and a scoop of the new flavour Tekka Market Coconut topped with red sugar.
This coconut gelato is one of the best we’ve tried. It has an enjoyable creaminess and no artificial coconut taste, which paired well with the soft putu mayam and crunchy sugar. It’s nostalgic and novel, making it quite memorable!
The Six Shades of Yellow ($29.80) is a twist on the popular Tom’s Palette tasting platter at the Bugis outlet. This version offers six yellow-coloured gelatos: Sober Piña Colada, White Chocolate Passionfruit, Honey Apricot Cardamom, Salted Caramel Cheesecake, Kochi Yuzu, and Alphonso Mango Sorbet.
It was hard to pick a favourite! But the ones that stood out were the Sober Piña Colada with a mellow but notable pineapple flavour; and the Alphonso Mango Sorbet.
