The star of the show is Cafe Usagi Tokyoās Signature Mochi Ice Cream ($6), which comes filled with either vanilla or matcha ice cream. Weāve previously seen this trendy dessert at Vanda Botanical Desserts, so add this new cafe to your list if youāre a fan. Should you not like vanilla or matcha, get any of their other ice cream flavours in a mochi skin with just a $1 top-up.

Aside from the mochi ice cream, you can also get scoops of Japanese Flavored Hand Crafted Ice Cream here. These ice creams are house-made by the cafeās own Japanese chef using premium ingredients such as high-quality Hokkaido milk, with flavours including Hokkaido Milk & Vanilla, Honkaku Uji Matcha, Rich Chocolate and more.
A single scoop of ice cream is priced at $5, while a double scoop goes for $8. There is a $0.50 top-up for premium flavours such as Lavender HojichaĀ and White Chocolate Macadamia. These can be paired with Original Waffle ($6.50), drizzled with your choice of maple syrup or kuromitsu, which is Japanese sugar syrup made with black sugar.

For a simpler, but no less indulgent treat, order yourself a USAGI Strawberry Mochi ($6.90), where a whole strawberry is wrapped with azuki paste and mochi skin.

On the drinks front, they have the usual Matcha ($5.50) and other lattes such as Hojicha Latte ($6.80). But their tea selection will make tea lovers swoon, with pots including Sencha and Genmaicha priced at $7.50. Otherwise, opt for their blends such as Rose Sencha and Lavender Hojicha Pot, which go for $7.90 a pot.
