3. Museum of Ice Cream: Soy-prise!

This event in the Museum of Ice Cream called Soy-price will start from 3 January to 3 February 2025, meaning you’ll only have a month to finally pick a day (or more) and enjoy this. At this event, the Museum of Ice Cream, or MOIC, is cooperating with the local brands Tai Hua and Denzy. What will they do? Yes, they will make a new yet unique innovation, probably something you’ve never heard before: the Gelato made with soy sauce.

Shocking? Indeed. But keep in mind that it won’t taste funny. It will actually taste so good, as the taste blends between sweet, savoury, and umami. Well, they say that there’s no boundaries in creativity, including in creating a dessert, right?

Not only the soy sauce gelato as dessert, you can also find merchandise of this collaboration between MOIC and Tai Hua. You can get their fancy tote bag at the gift shop to commemorate your visit, and to remind yourself that you have eaten a gelato from soy sauce.
