Ice cream shops are everywhere nowadays, but here's one that stands out from the crowd.
Unique flavours
Located at Katong Shopping Centre, The Humble Scoop offers a wide range of exciting, locally-inspired ice cream flavours that are bound to induce some nostalgia.
All flavours are hand-churned by the shop's owner, and come with adorable punny names.
There's "Orh-Haw", a hawthorne flake sorbet inspired by the childhood snack of haw flakes.
Looking for something more refreshing? You can try the zesty "Sugarcane with Lemon" sorbet (top scoop below).

"Guava with Sour Plum" is another of The Humble Scoop's sorbets. The ice cream (on the right of the picture below) mixes the tastes of sweet, sour and salty, and is influenced by the combination of guava slices with sour plum powder.

Milo is a classic, because Singaporeans sure do love their milo. "Tak-Kiu Dinosaur" is the name of the flavour and "tak kiu" translates to "football/kicking a ball" from Hokkien.
The term is also a synonym for Milo, as the drink's packaging often features a child playing football.

"Cereal Killer", made with caramelised cereal and milk, is another nostalgic flavour meant to bring patrons back to the days of Saturday morning cartoons.
They also serve earl grey milk tea-flavoured ice cream, so namedĀ "Gambat-teh".
If you're too adventurous for the usual sweet notes of ice cream, you can even try The Humble Scoop's very interesting, spicy "Huat Lah".
The ice cream is made out of pineapple, lime and chili padi.
Other flavours include:- "Orh-Bee-Good" ā a flavour inspired by Pulut Hitam, the traditional black glutinous rice and coconut milk dessert.
