Double Scoops is your best bet if you’re looking for desserts with a twist. Other than their gelato remixed into funky flavours like Orh Nee and Gula Melaka, they’ve also recently introduced a pretty amazing Cloudfoggato dessert. Comprising of cotton candy, vanilla ice cream, an espresso shot, and chunks of deliciously chocolatey brownies, you can bet that you’re consuming a zillion calories at one go – but boy, is it worth it.

The queue snaking around Soi 19 Thai Wanton Mee might look long and intimidating – but don’t let it deter you. The Wanton Mee here is pretty much perfection. Expect springy noodles, flavourful char siew, and crunchy wonton deep fried to a beautiful golden-brown. Don’t forget to help yourself to a generous dose of pork lard and chilli powder to experience your noodles exactly how the Thais do!
