There are a bazillion rice bowl places in the city these days. And at a quick glance, it wasn't obvious how this place was going to be any different. But their name actually stands for donburi-coconut, meaning that they also have some kind of coconut shakes ice cream to go along with their bowls. That made me curious enough to try it out (10 Anson Road #01-16, 9049-9926).

I was surprised by how much I liked it, mainly because they seasoned it just right. They even spiked it with some kind of salty crushed fish skin, which seemed to be coated in a garlic powder mixture or something. Either way, I wolfed it all down and forgot all about how slow they were behind the counter in assembling it.

Note though that the coconut "shake" wasn't a milkshake, but rather just coconut water and pulp. I was more impressed with the soft serve that they had. It seemed more like a sorbet than an ice cream, but there was some kind of powdered gula melaka sprinkled on top that made it wonderful. Plus, it's a nice way to cool off before stepping into the equatorial humidity outside on the way back to the office.
