Shaved ice dessert

The cold dessert, also known as kakigori in Japanese, comes in multiple flavours and is made using machines imported from Japan.

Here's what we tried:

Bean and Matcha (S$14.90)

This kakigori consists of matcha-flavoured ice topped with sweet mashed red beans from Hokkaido.

Mango Sago Koori (S$12.90)

The tangy Mango Sago Koori kakigori comes with sweet mango pieces and mango-flavoured ice.

Flamed Strawberry Brulee (S$14.90)

This unique offering is topped with cheese foam and sugar granules, blowtorched for an added toasty, caramelised flavour.

Shiroi Koibito (S$16.90)

The outlet-exclusive kakigori is named after the popular cookie from Hokkaido.

The milky dessert comes with a Shiroi Koibito cookie, silver gem sprinkles, along with cookies and cream sticks.

Dorayaki (from S$3.90)

Ghost Kakigori also makes dorayaki in-house, daily.

Here are some flavours they have:

Matcha Red Bean (S$4.30)

This consists of light matcha cream and red bean paste.

Taro Mochi (S$4.30)

This one was filled with sweet taro paste and chewy mochi.

Other dorayaki flavours include the Seaweed Floss Lava (S$4.30), Cream Red Bean (S$3.90) and Oreo Cheese (S$3.90).
