Tofu G just opened at Mandarin Gallery, serving Singapore's first-ever Korean tofu gelato in six different flavors, with each scoop priced at $8. Trust me, it's worth every single dollar.

Major Korean Café Vibes

Walking into Tofu G feels like you've been teleported straight to Seoul's trendy Seongsu district. The space features rustic wood decor and Korean-inspired furnishings that sport that old-school Korean vibe.

There's a communal table in the middle that seats around 10 people, plus two benches - one facing out of the establishment and another facing the counter. It's giving those cozy Korean hanok vibes but make it modern and Instagram-worthy. Perfect for those aesthetic food shots we all secretly live for.

The Menu That's About To Change Your Life Forever 🍦

Here's where things get REALLY interesting. They've got six flavors: Original, Black Sesame, Sweet Potato, Chodang Sweet Corn, Pistachio, and High Protein. Each one is crafted using traditional Korean techniques - inspired by the traditional method of grinding soybeans with a millstone.

The Original Tofu is where you need to start, guys. It has all the dense, creamy goodness of classic gelato, but with slight earthy and nutty notes of soybeans. I was honestly skeptical, but one spoon and I was SOLD.

Black Sesame is giving major Korean dessert vibes - rich, nutty, and sophisticated AF. Customers are raving about the black sesame, sweet corn, and sweet potato flavors.

High Protein Tofu is perfect for those health-conscious girlies who want dessert without the guilt. It has a more intense tofu note and is less sweet than the regular Tofu Gelato.

The best part? While the gelato isn't dairy-free, it's lighter and lower in fat than regular ice cream, so you can indulge with less guilt. Finally, dessert that doesn't make us feel like we need to run 10km after!

What Makes Tofu G So Special

This isn't just some random trendy dessert - there's actual heritage behind it! Tofu gelato (Soondubu gelato) is a specialty of Gangneung, a city in Korea known for its tofu products. So you're literally getting an authentic taste of Korean food culture right here in Singapore.

The establishment focuses entirely on their gelato and soft-serve offerings, making it truly artisanal in its own right. This isn't mass-produced stuff - each batch is carefully crafted to maintain that perfect tofu texture and flavor.

The Damage To Your Wallet

Let's talk prices because I know y'all are wondering:

  • Single Scoop (cup): $8

  • Soft Serve (cone): $7

Yes, it's pricier than your average gelato - each scoop costs $8 and they only offer single flavors (no double scoops) so you can have an unadulterated taste of each flavor without any cross-contamination.

This Is Only Temporary

This is a pop-up and they're not sure how long it'll be around. But there's good news! Tofu G will be opening a flagship store in Telok Ayer soon, so if you miss the pop-up, you'll have another chance.
