Following a triumphant re-opening on Middle Road in September 2023, the home of Singaporean gelato artisans, Tom’s Palette, has recently unveiled its second location in Kovan. Drenched in sunshine yellow hues, adorned with teak furnishings, and embellished with captivating artwork, the new shop exudes warmth and vibrancy.
To become the quintessential spot in Kovan for basking in good vibes and indulging in a delightful cup (or two!) of gelato, Tom’s Palette offers a selection of 18 flavors at any given time, with six rotating from a repertoire of over 230 unique flavors, complemented by freshly-made waffles. Crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality and freshness, the gelateria’s creations are entirely free of preservatives and artificial flavorings.
A standout offering sure to make waves is the outlet-exclusive King Pin’s Cone, a playful reinterpretation of the beloved local snack putu mayam (steamed rice flour ‘vermicelli’ with shredded coconut and orange sugar), paying homage to Kovan’s rich history.
Expressing her excitement, Faith Yap, Chief Happiness Officer at Tom’s Palette, shares, ‘We’ve always been known for pushing the boundaries of flavor, and with this milestone, it was essential to create something that not only honors the rich history of our neighborhood but also adds a touch of cheekiness and innovation. However, at the core of everything we do, deliciousness remains paramount. We eagerly anticipate raising more eyebrows and bringing more smiles!’
Established in 2005 at Shaw Tower on Beach Road, Tom’s Palette relocated to its current home on Middle Road in 2020, underwent a revitalization, and re-emerged in 2023 to much acclaim. This latest expansion marks its first in nine years, further solidifying its status as a beloved destination for many.
