If you are in the mood for something light but besides the shaved ice, then do consider the Warabimochi. It comes in 14 cubes – 7 normal flavored and 7 matcha flavored, with a side of sugar syrup. If you are a Matcha fan and intent to truly enjoy its distinct flavor, then perhaps skip the syrup or drizzle just a lil bit. I am not really a matcha fan and so I kindda drowned the whole thing with the syrup which worked well because the syrup did tone down the Matcha flavor quite a bit which bode well with me. Once the Macha powder is drowned, I had no issue at all ‘hantaming’ it. This dish was awesome, chewy and tasty. Oooo, I even had a couple of cubes with the shaved it – the difference in texture and taste was fantastic.
This place is definitely one of our favourite places for dessert because the desserts and the service here are all awesome!
Kakigori is totally self-service, from ordering to collecting your order (from the carbinet: see picture#5) and to return back the utensils to a designated area!
Uji Matcha was superb. It has rich green tea taste and they are generous with the red bean in it. Uji Matcha is super soft, melting upon contact with tongue leaving a magical taste. YUM!! * Must try in the Kakigori. Uji Matcha @ RM 17
Omugi Soup with Matcha Ice Cream RM18.00 is the most mind-boggling hot dessert that we encounter during our dessert session in Kakigori. This set comes with a bowl of hot barley with green tea ice cream and toasted peanut as toppings (omugi soup), a bowl of adzuki red bean and green tea mochi, plus a flower scent sweet syrup. The actual proper way to enjoy these hot dessert is to mix everything into the Omugi soup then voila. However, you can actually taste it separately beforehand and mix everything up eventually for a better tasting experience. Omugi Soup tastes toothsome and especially flavourful with a strong combination of green tea and adzuki bean on each spoonful. A very good alternative sweet treats for those who suffer sensitive teeth or older age group of people (who dislike cold stuff).
One of the greatest summer treats invented by the Japanese- Kakigori, a classic Japanese shaved ice dessert topped with flavored Syrup and condiments. With a name like Kakigori, this new establishment at Taman Paramount Petaling Jaya has wrestled its way out. It is now one of the most visited cafes in the neighborhood, particularly due to its Instagram-worthy sweet treats. The interior decor is simple, with some basic tables and seemingly flimsy chairs... a fun and young space it seems. But the cafe has a small menu... entirely dedicated to serving Kakigori (only a handful of choices though). Prices are standard-average but the service could be better improved, the place was packed to the brim with long queues waiting outside and as soon as we have finished the desserts, we were "politely" asked to leave our table. Not a space for chill out I suppose.
Food Rating 6/10, expensive and bland -Stamped-
When you see this title, obviously you'll know I'm going to talk about KAKIGORI, which is a new Japanese style shaved ice dessert shop.
The minimalist cafe, Kakigōri is a new addition to bingsu cafes managed by the team behind Thirdwave. It is unique as many shaved ice cafes leans toward Korea, but they decided to give it a twist and go for Japanese shaved ice instead. The combinations of flavour here are one of a kind and will not disappoint.
In a nut shell, KAKIGŌRI is pretty unique with their ingredients used for their shaved ice cream. I love the Tiramisu the most despite their specialty on serving Japanese flavored shaved ice cream (Uji Matcha, Shoyu & Hojicha).
