O'Hail the Potatoes! 

Having seen so many IG posts on this photogenic lilacs display of the purple potato Ice Cream, we decided to try it for ourselves. Newly opened in Square 2 some months ago, link-able from Novena MRT station, you can spot them right at the end of the basement's food plaza. 

This Hong Kong franchise definitely offers dinners with more on the plate 

Small What? 

Do not be mislead by its name. Rather, the 'sweet potato' in question really is simply Japanese purple yam, as per below.

For ladies,we can tuck in happily after knowing such natural sweet indulgence has the purest form retained.

Toppings were generously added too, not too s
