I literally fawn over any avocado dishes, be it savoury or sweet. I still remember the first time I spiraled into pure avocado-induced bliss. It was purely by chance, and not because I wanted to get healthy. My family and I were at a hawker centre in Kovan. I was thirsty and sipping on something thick and creamy my father had bought me, and I liked it. A lot. It had only been a simple avocado smoothie, but it struck the match that would light my undying love for the little green fruit. If you’re reading this because you’re as crazy for avocados as I am, you’ve come to the right place.

The buttery ice-cream is made using real avocados and is best savoured in a cone or atop fluffy waffles. If you’re feeling adventurous, give Daily Scoop’s Chilli Choc a try too; it’s a dark chocolate ice-cream with a spicy kick!

If you’re craving something simple and sweet, there’s no point going to a cafe or restaurant to get your avo fix when you can just head on down to Mr Avocado Exotic Fruit Juice for the stall’s speciality – Avocado Juice. At $2.50, there’s no avocado shake that’s more value-for-money! The well-blended drink is so smooth, you can hardly get any avocado chunks in it. Add 50 cents to further richen your creamy drink with gula melaka.

Pololi specialises in poke bowls, another food trend making waves across our little red dot. Pololi has come to us all the way from Hong Kong and operates with a takeaway concept, to cater to the busy working crowd in the CBD. There are two sizes of poke bowls to select from, Keiki ($15.99) and Kama’aina ($17.99), depending on how much fish you want. You can decide on what base you want as well, from rice to salad to a mix of both. And where does the avocado come in, you may ask? Why, in none other than the marinade! Their Avocado Mayo – smashed avo in mayonnaise, is said to be a ‘must-try for avo lovers’. It sure does give your sashimi chunks a satisfyingly creamy texture.

I’ve saved the best for last with Crust, an Australian pizza bar whipping up unique, gourmet pizzas which come with gluten-free options! Avo fans, you have got to try their Pesto Chicken Club ($18/21/22+). Picture this: succulent chicken breast fillets and avocado slices atop a delectably crispy crust blanketed in mozzarella and tomato sauce, with fragrant pesto aioli sauce drizzled all over the finished product. If this pizza doesn’t get your mouth watering, I’m not sure what will.
