Bangkok · ice cream

ฮงฮวด (Hong Huat)

An almost 80-year-old five-flavour shop that has not expanded its menu and still serves out of what remains of its original vintage glassware — a narrower, more deliberately unchanged offer than the other candidates here, which is itself the argument for including it.

What to order
Coconut flavour with jackfruit and taro topping, or the coffee flavour made with brewed coffee folded into the base, per Gourmet & Cuisine
