Right nether the signage of the cafe, it says "be polite, utter no vulgar languages"; the start idea that crossed our mind? We don't jibe to survive here. But my instinct told me to banking concern check the identify out as well as and therefore I did. For the uninitiated, Wa-Kao is an exclamation of excitement (Taiwanese slang). The seemingly curious cafe has a nighttime as well as unappealing facade, nosotros literally had no clue on what it could offer. We walked inward as well as constitute the identify to survive an Ice Cream Parlor that cleverly wed local Chinese Tong Shui (Dessert) amongst artisan home-made Ice Cream. If that does non audio amazing to you, they fifty-fifty brace Nyonya Kuih amongst Bee Koh Moy; all combinations appear to operate good for me though. The identify is fully air conditioned but the seating could survive to a greater extent than comfortable (only bar chairs). To uncovering Wa-Kao, get along Beach Street, you lot volition uncovering Wa-Kao Cafe correct adjacent to the junction of Armenian Street.
Golden Eggs (Coconut Milk + Pumpkin + Sago + Vanilla Ice Cream/ Rm 12)
Good Omens (Coconut Milk + Yam + Sago + Vanilla Ice Cream/ Rm 12)
We had both Pumpkin as well as Yam dessert... inward the shape of Pumpkin Sago as well as Yam Sago. They accept cleverly paired the locals' favorite Tong Shui amongst Vanilla Ice Cream.... as well as Nyonya Kuih. The Yam as well as Pumpkin Sago were served chilled, a refreshing solution for the sultry warm tropical weather; it was creamy-thick as well as robust amongst flavor. There were huge chunks of Yam as well as Pumpkin available- soft as well as mushy the agency nosotros like. The creaminess of the Coconut Milk enhances instead of overshadowing the flavor, the sum of Coconut Milk added was correct on the dot.
Though Wa-Kao seems to survive an Ice Cream parlor, nosotros did non intend that the Vanilla Ice Cream added was of peculiarly tasty. We idea it was a pretty standard-average one. Every gild of their Tong Shui volition come upwardly amongst a pocket-size serving of diced assorted Nyonya Kuih (Kuih Bengka/ Sago Kuih) topped amongst Bee Koh Moy. Predictable gustation but it does add together a overnice touching on to the sweetness treat.
