We’re over the moon to share that our Sea Salt Gula Melaka (Vegan) ice cream has clinched a prestigious 2-Star ratingat the Great Taste Awards 2025 — the world’s largest and most trusted food awards, organised by the UK’s Guild of Fine Food.
This recognition is extra special for us — and for Singapore — as only 10% of more than 14,000 entries receive a 2-Star distinction. It’s a proud moment that celebrates not just our craftsmanship, but also the local flavours that inspired us from the very beginning.
A Scoop of Nostalgia, Reimagined
Inspired by the familiar taste of chendol, our Sea Salt Gula Melaka Ice Cream brings together the comforting sweetness of palm sugar (gula melaka), the creaminess of coconut, and a touch of sea salt for balance.
It’s our love letter to Southeast Asian heritage — a modern, vegan-friendly twist on the flavours we grew up with. Since its debut, this flavour has become a cult favourite in our cafés and retail shelves, loved by both locals and travellers seeking an authentic taste of Singapore.
The Verdict...
Here’s what the judges had to say about our winning scoop:
“We loved the gentle lightly fudgy colour, the subtle sweetness allied to the deep richness of palm sugar.”
“A really sound balance of tastes and flavours, with apt sweetness and salinity. Greatly enjoyable.”“A true take on the flavour of chendol… the coffee-like, caramelly palm sugar notes sing, with a background note of coconut nuttiness.”
Their verdict? “Sublime — something we’d happily enjoy with a cold coffee on a hot day.” We couldn’t agree more.
Putting Singapore Flavours on the World Map 🇸🇬🌏
This award marks a huge milestone in our journey. Since day one, we’ve believed that local flavours deserve a global stage — and this recognition pushes us one step closer.
“We are humbled to have our Sea Salt Gula Melaka Ice Cream recognised on such a global stage,” shares Khoh Wan Chin, co-founder of Creamier. This award affirms our mission to create ice creams that celebrate Singapore’s heritage while staying relevant to today’s lifestyle.”
As we continue expanding beyond our cafés into retail, wholesale, and export channels, we hope to share more of Singapore’s rich dessert culture with the world.
