Beat The Heat By Tucking Into Japanese Shaved Ice At This New Kakigori Cafe & Art Gallery
We're currently in the midst of the rainy season, but somehow the weather doesn't seem to be getting any less humid! If you too are frustrated with the icky sticky heat, why not swing by this cool new Kakigori cafe at Duxton Hill during your next cafe-hopping adventure? For the uninitiated, Kakigori is a type of shaved ice dessert usually served in Japan during summer. And since we technically have 365 days of summer every year, it's always a good time to tuck into a bowl over at Art Ice!

At first glance, these icy desserts look like sophisticated ice kachang. Each bowl is piled with a heap of densely packed shaved ice, then garnished with eye-catching syrup and toppings. But instead of just the classic rose, pandan and gula melaka combination, Art Ice offers a huge range of mouthwatering shaved ice flavours like matcha, apple, coffee, and strawberry.

For those who like to get adventurous with their desserts, there are some truly unusual options to try out! Fancy some dragonfruit and passionfruit, lemon and butterfly pea, pistachio, or even roasted sweet potato shaved ice? We've got to admit, they all sound pretty exciting. Each bowl of Kakigori starts at $15-$22.

Once you've chosen your dessert, sit back and enjoy it against the backdrop of Balinese-themed interiors. Art lovers in particular will adore the many paintings lining the cafe walls, which create a museum-esque vibe.
