Get ready cos we're about to introduce you to some tantalising sweet treats and we can't guarantee that you can get to the end of this article without salivating?
Probably the most talked about dessert at Oriental Ice Bistro is Chendol Pak Dol. Chendol is already amazing as it is but instead of the usual shaved ice that we know, it's now served bingsu-style. It's a delectable combination of fluffy milk snow topped with gula melaka and fresh jackfruits. Wow, sure sounds like the perfect treat to beat the heat?

This dessert consists of Indonesian-style avocado paste with fluffy snow ice topped with brownies and a scoop of coconut ice-cream. You can just imagine the burst of flavours in your mouth as you indulge in the creamy dessert!

If you're feeling more than just desserts, Oriental Ice Bistro also serves different types of chicken chop dishes, burgers and pizzas! Now, some of you might find the desserts familiar. That’s because Oriental Ice Bistro used to be IceBox Café but it has since reopened under a new management. Aren’t we glad that we can still enjoy halal bingsu now? ?
