About The Summer Açaí - Jurong East (JEM)

The Summer Açaí - Jurong East (JEM) is a dessert shop at 50 Jurong Gateway Rd, #01-09, Jurong East, Singapore, and its name points to açaí bowls. It holds a 4.7 Google rating from 115 reviews.

An açaí bowl is a thick blend of frozen açaí berries, served in a bowl and topped with fruit, granola and other extras. A good one is cold and thick enough to eat with a spoon, with a balanced, slightly earthy berry flavour that is not drowned in sweetness. Because it is frozen, it melts quickly in Singapore's heat, so eat it soon after it is served and avoid carrying it far. If you are new to açaí, a simple bowl with fresh fruit and a modest drizzle is a good first try, and you can add richer toppings later. Regulars check what toppings are included and ask about nuts, dairy and honey if anyone has allergies. Mall outlets are busiest at weekends and after work, and a weekday afternoon is calmer.

For shoppers around JEM and Jurong East, The Summer Açaí is a very highly rated place for a cool, fruity dessert.
