BIRDS OF PARADISE
Recommended by Nicole
No, this cafe isn’t at Jurong Bird Park, but all the way in the East, so Easties, this dainty place is for you. The quirky name is derived from their signature gelato flavours inspired by natural botanical elements. Birds of Paradise is at #01-05 63 East Coast Road.
Nicolechangmin “Many would have probably heard of this quirky gelato parlour as there’s usually a slight queue during dessert hour. I usually pop by to grab a cone after getting my nails done as it’s just a stone’s throw away. I highly recommend the fig and pandan flavour along with a thyme cone, yum!”
