This luxurious dessert originally hails from Kyoto, at a place called Kinkakuji known for the World Heritage-listed, Golden Pavilion temple — it's floors are besieged with 105 pounds of gold leaf, the handiwork of the nearby city of Kanazawa, Japan’s capital of gold leaf and a UNESCO Creative City.

The Singapore editions are taking the experience to the next level, however, beyond the well-loved classic vanilla flavour, with gourmet options like Sea Salt Caramel and Purple Potato. But of course, the rich, luscious ice cream recipe still remains made with 100 per cent Hokkaido milk.
As for the flavour of gold? You'll have to try it yourself. Just keep an eye on the tiny flecks of gold...though glittery lips are totally on trend so it's a win-win situation.
