Gelato Messina Scoops into Singapore: Here's What to Expect
Gelato Messina, Australia's iconic gelato brand, has officially opened its first Singapore outlet, delighting local dessert enthusiasts with its signature handcrafted gelato and innovative flavors.
The new store, located in Club Street, features the brand’s signature minimalist interiors with an open kitchen concept that lets visitors watch the gelato-making magic happen. From the very first day, long lines stretched outside the store as curious patrons flocked in to get their first taste.
With 40-flavor cabinet offering 35 classic favorites and 5 rotating specials, customers can indulge in a variety of gelato options made from scratch using premium ingredients. Messina has brought along crowd-favorites like Pistachio Praline, Tiramisu, and Salted Coconut & Mango Salsa - but what’s really turning heads are the Singapore-exclusive flavors crafted just for the local palate.
- Kaya Toast - a nostalgic nod to the iconic breakfast staple, complete with toasted bread chunks and sweet kaya swirls.
- Singapore, How Are You Durian? - bold, creamy and unapologetically Southeast Asian.
- Tau Huay - silky smooth soy pudding reimagined in gelato form.
- Teh Tarik - the classic pulled milk tea turned into a rich, malty dessert.
- Ondeh-Ondeh - inspired by the traditional glutinous rice ball, this flavor features pandan-infused gelato with bursts of gula melaka and grated coconut
- Yolk's On You - a cheeky salted egg-based creation with gula melaka caramel
Among the new Singapore-exclusive flavors, my top picks are Onde-Ondeh, Durian, and Tau Huay -each one standing out for its bold taste and authentic representation of local desserts. Onde-Ondeh impresses with its rich pandan aroma and gooey bursts of gula melaka that perfectly capture the essence of the traditional kuih. Durian delivers a creamy, unapologetic punch true to the King of Fruits, without being overly sweet or artificial. Tau Huay is a standout for its subtle, silky texture and delicate soy flavor - remarkably close to the real beancurd dessert. Together, these flavors don’t just taste good - they feel like home in a scoop.
Prices start at $7.50 for a single scoop, $10 for two scoops, and $12 for three scoops - with portions that are generous and full of flavor. And if you can’t get enough (like us), grab a take-home tub -available in various sizes, so you can enjoy your favorites anytime.
With its bold local flavors and handcrafted quality, Gelato Messina's Singapore debut lives up to the hype and then some. Whether you're dropping by for the nostalgic taste of Ondeh Ondeh, the creamy flavor intensity of Durian, or the delicate charm of Tau Huay, there's something that’ll hit home with every scoop.
Don’t miss your chance to experience this delicious collision of Aussie gelato artistry and Singaporean soul - one spoonful at a time. Have you had a chance to try their Singapore-exclusive flavors yet? Which one is your favorite?
