Desserts are a huge part of the Malaysian lifestyle, whether you favour traditional ones such as bubur cha cha and ais kacang or some Korean bingsu. Well, there’s a new Japanese shaved iced dessert house in town, and many are raving about it. Here are some reasons why you should pay Taman Paramount’s newest dessert gamechanger, KAKIGŌRI a visit!
