Vegan (and totally lovable) ice cream & snacks open until 2am in Ang Mo Kio

We like ice cream! Doesn’t everybody? Some lactose illiberal people love them too, a lot that the implications are price it. What if I instructed you that there’s simply as good ice cream that’s fully vegan? Heartbreak Melts at Ang Mo Kio is right here to supply.

Iridescent, is it not? The neon indicators may very well be seen from far, and so they lit up the then-dark hall. When the founder, Yong Wei, stated that he needed the other of minimalistic, he positive was not kidding! 

“Heartbreak Melts went all out with the decor,” I assumed as I glanced on the storefront partitions. There was humorous break up memorabilia in all places. The inside inside was not excluded, as its partitions have been lined in break up memes. Looking at them positively made the await the meals move by rapidly.

The music alternative in Heartbreak Melts was hilarious, becoming the theme of heartbreak completely. During the time I used to be there, songs like Enchanted by Taylor Swift and Seafret’s Atlantis echoed the theme of failed relationships. Oddly sufficient, it set a slightly cheery temper than a tragic one.

I’ve additionally heard that Heartbreak Melts tends to be tremendous ‘happening’ at evening, packing fairly a crowd. Those who stay right here, to not worry— Heartbreak Melts has taken precautions to make sure quiet within the evening, as their exterior space closes after 10.30pm. 

For these coming right here, Heartbreak Melts is located fairly far into the rows of HDBs at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. I used to be additionally sceptical as my cell phone indicated the route. Taking the time to admire the place, it was a reduction I got here to the proper place.

What I attempted at Heartbreak Melts

Coming to an ice cream place means attempting the ice cream! So, ordering the Waffle set, I Am Very Basic (S$10), was a duh state of affairs. The worth was clearly 1 issue I used to be extraordinarily happy with— the place can you discover such a deal anyway else? What’s even higher is that college students get the identical set at S$8, which I clearly famous with glee.

As for the ice cream flavour, I went straight for the Corny Cornflakes. Romance was positively within the air at Heartbreak Melts, from the waffle form to the bowl. I supplied myself a cone-gratulations for being there for while Corny Cornflakes was nonetheless on rotation. 

However, I used to be tempted to strive the opposite flavours — Let that Mango, Thai Soy Milk Tea and Tauhuay Gula Melaka. At S$4 a scoop, I’ll you should definitely come again for a style take a look at.

I totally loved the sturdy oat milk style, and cherished how the toasty flavour complemented the cornflakes nicely. The ice cream felt extra like an oat ice cream with cornflakes bits. Unexpected, however equally as satisfying.

With a light-weight crisp and fluffy inside, I discovered it tough to imagine that Heartbreak Melts’ waffle was vegan. Tasting precisely like these pandan waffles which might be slathered with spreads, I cherished how simply it went with Corny Cornflakes. It did lose its satisfying trait because the ice cream melted and the waffle cooled down, so I like to recommend consuming it immediately.

Despite being a primarily ice cream store, Heartbreak Melts additionally has a number of different vegan choices available, considered one of which was the Send Noods (S$8), a vegan on the spot noodle that Yong Wei got here up with. There is a spicy model for the spice fanatics to get pleasure from. 

What I used to be extraordinarily biased in the direction of was the noodle kind, which was equivalent to those present in Nissin cup noodles. The second issue I appreciated was how the bowl was loaded with components just like the tau kee, which soaked up the scrumptious broth.

I do should admit that the greens and dumplings have been cooked until they have been totally comfortable, so those that like that may discover Send Noods slightly interesting to them. The complete bowl was purely consolation meals, although maybe it’s more healthy than your common on the spot noodles.

Even although I’m obsessive about Lychee Ice Fruit Tea (S$3) to an unhealthy quantity, this was most likely the primary one I’ve seen with no full lychees, solely having pulp from the syrup used. Other than that, it was what I had adored concerning the drink— candy and refreshing. 

The cup was so cute with the Heartbreak Melts emblem, albeit not as vital as how the drink tasted, however it positively added to the allure!

Final ideas

Though the meals will not be thoughts blowing, the meals and atmosphere right here is bound to consolation one after a tiring day. Secondary faculty me would have adored Heartbreak Melts, due to its lovable scene and reasonably priced worth factors.

I’ll positively be again to strive their different ice cream flavours and the Brownie Waffle (S$8) which is made contemporary to order. Folks in Ang Mo Kio are certainly fortunate to have such a discover so shut by!
