They now sell lava cakes as well! The table next to us ordered the matcha lava cake.

They sell waffle cones at just $1 per piece.

1. Rainbow Cake $6.50

During my last visit, they oversold their rainbow cakes and had to refund me my money. This time I learnt my lesson, before I grabbed a table, I ordered the cake first!

The layers of the rainbow cake are alot thinner than other cafes and they are very vibrantly coloured. It is very pretty and photogenic. However, I felt that the cake was abit dry, and wasn't as nice as their rainbow paddlepop cheesecake which is what brought me back here. I had better hopes.

I love their little forks, with a plastic "gem". Nonetheless, for the AMK region, whereby cafes are still popping up every month, Rainbow cottage cafe doesn't have that much competition for rainbow cakes. So if you're craving for a rainbow cake and you live in the AMK region, do give it a try.

2. 3 scoops of gelato and 1 topping $14.40

(Hazelnut rocher, mocha biscotti, strawberry cheesecake)

3 Scoops of gelato and wafles

For the 3 of us greedy pigs, we decided to get 3 scoops. Having tried their hazelnut rocher the last time I visited, I decided to get the same flavour again. It was deliciously thick and creamy. Every mouthful tells your brain that you are eating pure ferrero rochers in an ice cream texture!

3 scoops of gelato and waffles

The mocha biscotti tasted strongly of coffee, more so than chocolate. It had a slight bitter after-taste but it is a good compliment for the other ice cream flavours, as the other two were very sweet.

Hazelnut rocher, strawberry cheesecake, mocha biscotti

The strawberry cheesecake tasted like a strawberry ice cream that wasn't sweet. There was a couple of "cheesecake" cubes embedded in the ice cream. Other than that, it resembled a typical strawberry ice cream. As one of their signature ice creams, I feel that they can do better.

Amongst the 2 new flavours I have tried. I still prefer their chendol and hazelnut rocher. Even their bubblegum flavour was unique and memorable.

We waited quite a while for our waffles, as we noticed that they only had one and only one waffle iron. Probably waited a good 20 minutes for it. Thank God, it was worth the wait!!! We loved the waffles!! Interestingly, the waffle texture was a lot more crisp than the one I had last month!

Good job guys!

Their waffles are of the crispy exterior kind. The waffle stays crispy for quite a long while despite a melting gelato perched on top of it. The fruity pebbles added a nice crunch for each scoop of gelato, a worth 50 cent topping!
