#378 Honey Creme @ 313 Somerset, Singapore
Previously, we had pictures of llaollao all over instagram and people are willing to wait in line for ages for a cup of froyo. Though the fans of llaollao are still going strong, a new store serving solf-serve Korean ice-cream opens up at Somerset 313 as well. That is none other than the highly raved Honey Creme!
Honey Creme
313 Orchard Road #01-37 Somerset
This mini store is located near the taxi stand of 313 Somerset. People who sees the long lineup might mistake it for the queue of hiring a cab but as you get closer to the lineup, you will realize the same shocking truth you noticed at llaollao – people are just willing to line up for anything new! Thankfully, I did not have to go through the torment as I ended work earlier and only lined up for about 5 minutes at around 4pm.
The variety is not much though. Either you get the ice-cream with honey, affogato, cotton candy, whole grains or chocolate in either cup or cone. I got the signature ice-cream poured with affogato and topped with cotton candy. I found my ice-cream quite a novelty but it is very inconvenient to consume it as you have to dig hard to eat the cotton candy with the ice-cream. The ice-cream melts easily so I was a little disappointed at such a crazy rave over easily melted ice-cream yet again. I have no idea why new food places are highly sought after and people do not mind spending many hours queuing for it. For such a small cup with little ice-cream, SGD$6.20 is definitely quite a rip off. Perhaps it is due to the additional cotton candy and affogato though.
Sara got herself the Comb Honey ice-cream in cup, which costs SGD$5.50. She felt like this cup is just a combination of honey and ice-cream. I saw how the lady surrounded the cup with a layer of honey before putting on the ice-cream. After which, she also added another layer of honey. Sara had the exact same sentiments as me that he ice-cream melts easily as well.

For me, this is just another of those overrated ice-cream place. Yes, there is creativity in the ice-cream here but it is not worth the wait and money.
