Just a stone’s throw away from Potong Pasir MRT is a dessert store that was once a dream, now finally a reality. A•MOS Perfect Gelato was opened in November 2019 as a family effort with Amos Lee, the youngest son in the family at its helm.
The cafe has a graffiti wall and neon lights which creates fun and hipster vibes. For those who want to cleanse their palates between ice cream flavours or simply need some water to wash down the sweetness, the cafe provides free-flow water for all customers.
It just so happened that the day we visited, Mr Lee, the father of the founder, was present at the store. We decided to grab the opportunity and spoke with Mr Lee to get a better insight into the creation of the brand.
The gelato shop specialises in handcrafted gelato, handmade waffles and whimsical beverages. All the products are made fresh with quality ingredients, without preservatives and pre-mixes.
The A•MOS philosophy focuses on the art of making the perfect gelato for all to enjoy. Amos believes that using good ingredients is just the base to success and the rest is up to one’s diligence and appreciation for the craft. He holds a Diploma in Pastry and Bakery from At-Sunrice Global Chef Academy and has always fancied trying his hand at the art of making Italian gelato.
Beginning with our first flavour, we chose a presumably lighter gelato, Summerberies (S$5.10 for a premium scoop and cone). This gelato was slightly sour and had a good mix of sweetness that was absolutely refreshing. Made with a variety of berries, the scoop still had small bits of berries that I could taste. When paired with the crispy waffle cone, it was the perfect dessert for a sunny day in Singapore.
If you’re not a berry fan, you could try the cafe’s most whimsical-looking gelato flavour—Cookie Monster (S$5.10 for a premium scoop and cone). This delicious flavour is made with a creamy mix of cookies and cream and blue dye is added to resemble the colour of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. Looking for something to cure your Monday blues? Try out this scoop of blue happiness!
What’s a gelato shop without a gelato flavour named after the brand? Amos Famous (S$4.60 per premium scoop) is A•MOS Gelato’s house favourite, made with cookie dough, chocolate malt and chocolate chip. The chocolate malt gave the gelato sweet yet earthy and toasty notes while the cookie dough gave a buttery and deep brown sugar flavour.
We decided to get the most Singaporean-inspired waffle, the Pandan Waffle (S$9 with a scoop of premium ice cream/S$5 waffle a la carte), to accompany the gelato scoop. It was simply divine! The waffle was crispy and provided the perfect crunch to the creamy and decadent Amos Famous.
A•MOS Perfect Gelato actually collaborated with famed gelato brand, Tom’s Palette to assist with the opening of the outlet. Tom’s Palette is founded by an award-winning gelato master who has over a decade of experience.
A•MOS Perfect Gelato showcases a range of Tom’s Palette’s flavours, called the “Tom Palette’s Gelallery”. Known for its extraordinary flavours, Tom’s Palette has a loyal fan base and the collaboration has helped A•MOS Perfect Gelato to stand out because of its similarly whimsical flavours.
My favourite out of all the flavours would definitely have to be Summerberries because of its light and fruity flavour. That’s something I always look for when choosing a dessert.
When you visit A•MOS Perfect Gelato, do let us know which one is your favourite!
