Häagen-Dazs Taiwan Unveils Roasted Peanut Ice Cream Cilantro Burger

Image
English Version | 中文版本 Häagen-Dazs Taiwan has officially launched the Roasted Peanut Ice Cream Cilantro Burger in Taiwan, a limited-time product that brings together peanut ice cream, fresh cilantro, and a warm burger-style format. The Roasted Peanut Ice Cream Cilantro Burger features Häagen-Dazs peanut ice cream paired with cilantro, served in a soft brioche-style bun. The combination draws on a flavor pairing that is already familiar in local street food culture, now presented as an official menu item under the Häagen-Dazs brand. This launch is positioned as a limited-time offering and is available at selected Häagen-Dazs Taiwan locations, including designated ice cream burger counters. Pricing and availability may vary by outlet, with member promotions offered during the launch period. Rather than introducing a new flavor profile, the Roasted Peanut Ice Cream Cilantro Burger formalizes an existing combination in a commercial format. The product is designed for immediate consumption...

A’SMORE Turns the Classic S’more Into a Plant-Based Macaron Collection

Image
English Version | 中文版本   A’SMORE is reworking a familiar American dessert through a more refined, contemporary lens. The brand’s Voyage Collection takes the idea of a s’more and translates it into a set of plant-based macarons. Instead of recreating the campfire experience directly, the collection uses flavor references from different regions, pairing the nostalgic base with combinations like raspberry yuzu , matcha caramel , and truffle noire . The macarons are both plant-based and gluten-free , but those attributes sit quietly in the background. The product positions itself first as a premium, giftable dessert , with dietary inclusivity framed as a design choice rather than the main selling point. Voyage is sold as a curated set rather than individual pieces. That structure reinforces the idea of tasting progression, similar to a boxed chocolate assortment, and aligns with the brand’s focus on presentation and occasion-based consumption. A’SMORE debuted the collection thr...

Din Tai Fung Introduces Strawberry Mochi Xiao Long Bao in Singapore

Image
English Version | 中文版本 Din Tai Fung has added a new dessert item to its Singapore menu: Strawberry Mochi Xiao Long Bao . The product reinterprets the classic soup dumpling format as a sweet dish.

According to multiple listings and media reports, the Strawberry Mochi Xiao Long Bao will be available islandwide in Singapore from 1 February 2026 . It is sold in set portions, typically six or ten pieces per order . Some sources describe the item as a permanent menu addition , rather than a limited-time release. Dessert-style xiao long bao is not entirely new for Din Tai Fung, which has previously offered chocolate-based versions in other markets .

Image
English Version  |  中文版本 White Rabbit Creamy Candy has appeared in many formats over the years, from ice cream to pop-ups. This time, it appears in a hotel setting. In Singapore, The Westin Singapore is hosting Once Upon a Tea Time with White Rabbit , an high tea collaboration built around the familiar milky flavour and visual language of the candy.

Rabbit Foods Is Turning Spinach Into Ice Cream Without Making It Taste Like Vegetables

Image
English Version | 中文版本 Rabbit Foods is exploring a familiar idea in a quieter way: adding spinach to ice cream-style frozen treats without letting the vegetable flavor stand out . The product looks and eats like a frozen dessert, but it is structured more like a smoothie . Fruits lead the flavor profile, while spinach remains in the background as a supporting ingredient. It appears on the ingredient list, but is not immediately noticeable when tasted . This approach reflects a broader pattern in plant-based snacks, where vegetables are incorporated into formats people already enjoy . Rather than asking consumers to accept a “healthy” flavor, the product relies on familiar sweetness and cold temperature to soften any vegetal notes . Spinach is not positioned as a headline feature that needs explanation. It functions more as a base ingredient , similar to how oats or nuts are used for balance and texture in other frozen products. Rabbit Foods presents these spinach-inclusive pops as...

Farm Fresh Turns Teh O Ais Limau & Limau Ais into Ice Cream

Image
English | 中文 Some flavours don’t need a story to sell them. They’re already part of daily life. Farm Fresh brings Teh O Ais Limau and Limau Ais into ice cream , translating two of Malaysia’s most familiar drinks into a frozen format made for everyday enjoyment. The flavour cues are immediate and unmistakable - bright citrus, clean tea notes, and a refreshing finish that feels instantly recognisable. This is ice cream designed around familiarity. What was once a quick, cooling drink is now something to enjoy a little longer, delivering the same refreshing character in a smoother, colder form. The experience stays true to the original taste, simply adapted for a different moment of consumption. The commercial logic is clear.

How Louis Vuitton Extends Brand Meaning Through Taste

Image
English | 中文 Luxury has long expressed itself through form. Leather, canvas, proportion, weight - objects designed to be worn, carried, and recognized in public. Taste, by contrast, belongs to a more intimate register of everyday life. When a luxury house enters food, the question is not whether it can impress, but whether it can remain coherent. Louis Vuitton’s expansion into chocolate and café culture offers a clear answer. Rather than treating food as a side attraction, the brand approaches taste as another surface for brand meaning. The logic remains familiar: restraint, material awareness, and control over context. A small but telling example is its Chocolate & Hazelnut Spread (330g)  - often casually referred to online as a “Luxury version of Nutella” or even “LV Nutella.” Sold through selected Louis Vuitton chocolate and café spaces in cities such as Paris and Singapore, and priced at €35 , it sits at the accessible edge of the brand’s universe. Not positioned as a ...

Hershey’s McFlurry Is Back at McDonald’s — And It’s Everything You Forgot You Needed

Image
English | 中文 Chocolate swirl on vanilla. Creamy, dreamy, exactly how you remembered it. The Hershey’s McFlurry is back at McDonald’s , along with soft serve cones, twist cones, and sundaes. One scoop, and suddenly your snack break feels like a small celebration. Fans are quietly obsessed. Reels show the perfect swirl, friends tagging each other mid-bite, debates about whether to mix or leave the chocolate layered. It’s not viral, not splashy, but it’s alive — a dessert quietly threading itself into daily routines. Grab it after work, post-meal treat, or just a mid-day sweet fix. The Hershey’s collaboration isn’t shouting; it’s sliding smoothly into life. Every detail counts. The swirl, the texture, the chocolate-vanilla hug in a cup - small things that matter when flavour is memory. Social posts on Instagram and TikTok capture tiny moments: laughter, indulgent bites, the kind of micro-joys that don’t need millions of views to feel real. This isn’t just a dessert return. It’s a rem...

Farm Fresh Moola Kaw: When “Rich” Needs No Explanation

Image
English | 中文 Farm Fresh Moola Kaw arrives with a word Malaysians already understand. “Kaw” isn’t a slogan. It’s everyday language. Used when something has body. Weight. Enough presence to speak for itself. By choosing that word, Moola Kaw steps straight into lived culture, not marketing space. The flavour follows through. Chocolate malt, rich and full. No tricks. No surprise turns. Just depth that feels familiar and satisfying, the way “kaw” is supposed to be. The idea holds across formats. Powder. Ready-to-drink bottles. Ice cream. Different forms, same expectation. Thickness that fits into daily routines, whether mixed at home or picked up without thinking. There’s no attempt to compete with history. Chocolate malt already has its place in Malaysia. Moola Kaw doesn’t challenge that. It sits comfortably beside it. The tone stays grounded. Casual. Local. Unforced. The product doesn’t ask for attention. It doesn’t rush. It lets repetition do the work. Moola Kaw doesn’t redefine...
