Wan Mei Dessert 碗美 is an ice cream shop at #01-14 The Odeon, 11 East Coast Road, Katong, Singapore, holding a 4.5 rating on Google, with a Facebook page for updates. In this heat, texture is the honest measure of ice cream. A well-churned scoop is dense with cream rather than whipped full of air, served a touch soft, and melts quickly; one that sits unchanged in the sun usually owes its staying power to stabilisers rather than dairy. Flavours built on pandan, gula melaka or coconut are a fair test of any dessert shop, since those tastes are hard to fake, and where ice cream is made in small batches the popular tubs tend to run low by evening, so going early pays. Which makes a stop at The Odeon an easy call on East Coast Road, in Katong, a neighbourhood long known for its desserts.
