In the latest addition to its hyperrealistic-looking desserts, Swensen's will be having a new mala-flavoured version of its "fried chicken" ice cream.

Mala-flavoured ice cream

The Mala "Fried Chicken" Ice Cream will be available for purchase from Mar. 28.

It costs S$12.90+ for two "drumsticks", and S$47+ for eight "drumsticks".

While it looks like a real fried chicken drumstick on the outside, this is actually a savoury-sweet dessert featuring vanilla ice cream, a cookie "bone" centre, and mala powder topping.

There is a little kick to this slightly spicy dessert.

It's almost akin to ordering a xiao la (low spice level) at a mala stall.

This interesting dessert is available at all Swensen's and Earle Swensen's restaurants, as well as on delivery platforms.
