Opened on June 17, Cafe Kuriko is a Japanese Mont Blanc specialty store at Funan.

Named for its resemblance to a snow-capped mountain, Mont Blanc is a dessert that consists of a vermicelli made of sweetened chestnut purée, topped with whipped cream.

Cafe Kuriko uses chestnuts from Japan to make their Mont Blanc.

The signature Mont Blanc (S$13.90) comes in two varieties - Chestnut/Waguri (contains alcohol) and Purple Sweet Potato.

You may choose between chestnut or cheese for the base.
