A Green Focus on Sustainable Foodservice and Hospitality – Future of Hospitality and Foodservice 

At FHA-HoReCa 2024, there is a Green Focus on Sustainable Foodservice and Hospitality – Future of Hospitality and Foodservice. Sustainable tourism in the Asia-Pacific region is increasingly gaining momentum as both a necessity and an opportunity within the hotel industry. In earlier years, those measures were limited to superficial measures such as opt-in linen changes and glass water bottles. Nowadays, properties are now moving towards integrating more rooted, innovative measures in their infrastructure. 

This is most evident in Singapore, where over 40% of hotels are steadfastly test-bedding new technologies and innovations while pursuing Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification. At FHA-HoReCa 2024, they are debuting the Future of Hospitality Seminar, supporting these efforts and gathering hospitality industry leaders to discuss key themes shaping the sector.

The Future of Hospitality Seminar is focused on fostering innovation and sustainability, they will feature speakers from Hotel Associations of various countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand), Singapore Institute of Technology, Global Sustainable Tourism Council, and SPORE Gardens, covering three themes:

• Envisioning the Future of Hospitality 
• Sustainability and Hotel Design
• Technology & Innovation 

Other New Happenings at FHA-HoReCa 2024

The new flavours match Momolato’s standards of high excellence. Their sugar-free fruit lattes feature three flavours: Korean strawberry and Australian mango with hand-cut fruit, and dark Belgium and Ecuador chocolate. These Latte-style drinks come in game-stopper round bottles served with fresh milk and cream.

Fresh flavours are key. “Each bottle of goodness is handmade with fresh milk and hand-cut fruit. They are exceptional.” says owner Chef Sharon Tay

In our hot and humid tropical climate, frozen yoghurt is a real treat, especially if it’s sugar-free and keto. The Therapy range of yoghurts come in three flavours – Blue pea vanilla, Korean strawberry and coconut – a great alternative to regular yoghurt.

The latest flavour at Momolato’s gelato department is the Keto 1,000 Day Gouda Cheese, it’s to tempt a growing army of gelato fans. It’s made with aged Dutch gouda, American cream cheese and Italian pecorino, it is designed to ignite any cheese cravings. Gouda and cream cheese are melted into the gelato and then sprinkled with pecorino; this savoury gelato has been a hit with both the young and young at heart since its creation.

Do you know? Momolato’s Keto range is sweetened naturally using monkfruit extract, stevia, erythritol, and allulose, ingredients that are not absorbed by the gut and are diabetic-friendly.

Once unknown as the ‘brand behind the brands’, in which it produced ice cream for others to sell, Momolato recently stepped out of the shadows to open its very own café at Haji Lane. Momolato’s super pure gelato uses only the best natural ingredients without additives or artificial flavouring.

Their range features unique flavour fusions and culinary complexities that matches today’s market for guilt-free gourmandise with seasonal signatures and delicious disruption.

Where can I get Momolato new range of flavours and DIY goodies?

You can now order Momolato’s sugar-free fruit lattes ($7.90 per 500ml bottle, set of three bottles at $$18.90), sugar-free and keto yoghurt ($18.90 for 400ml jar, set of three jars for $54.90) and gelato ($15-$20 for pint of 473ml, $55 to $69 for 2.5L) via GrabFood, Foodpanda, Momolato café takeaway (34 Haji Lane) and their online website momolato.com/shop.

Do share Momolato new range of flavours and DIY goodies with your fellow gelato fans, share them with your family, loved ones, relatives and friends. Pay-It-Forward and Pass-It-On! Sharing is Caring!

Located at 34 Haji Lane, Momolato is a small and cosy cafe, the space is a bit tight due to the total floor space constraint and the nature of the design, history and architecture of the shophouses along Haji Lane. I really like the decoration, feel and ambience of Momolato Cafe, simplistic, stylish and tropical feel. For those who loves a gelato supper night hangout on the weekends, they are open till 2am on Friday and Saturday.

Artisanal Gelato Galore! 

When you arrived at their gelato section, I reckon you will have a tough time choosing which gelato flavours to try, it’s artisanal gelato galore! 

Some of the gelato that I tasted at Momolato Cafe were watermelon soursop, ondeh ondeh sweet yam, Ecuador chocolate arabica, Kochi yuzu shisho, mango passionfruit osmanthus, Keto salted caramel. 

While my photos may look pleasing to the eye because I went straight into tasting and enjoying each different flavours that were selected by Momolato Cafe for us to try, without taking nice looking gelato photos first. I can assure you that it’s really good, of the highest quality standards and freshness. 

The six gelato that I tasted above were very refreshing, flavourful without being overpowering and not overly sweet. I love the Ecuador chocolate arabica, if you are a chocolate and coffee lover, you have to try that! For those who wish to have a cooling and refreshing gelato to cool down from Singapore’s hot and humid weather, you can go for the Kochi yuzu shisho, watermelon soursop or mango passionfruit osmanthus. 

There are still a lot more artisanal gelato flavours on their menu, I hope to try as many of them down the road!  

I tried their pandan waffle, it’s really delicious and flavourful. I don’t get the chance to try out different waffle flavours elsewhere, I reckon you will like it too and the other waffle flavours on their menu. 

Keto?

I have heard of the word Keto being mentioned quite frequently in recent times. That is an area that I am still learning and understanding more, Keto is a diet that is low in carbohydrates but high in protein.

Keto gelato is something that I personally haven’t heard of at all. At Momolato Cafe, I got the opportunity to have a chat with Chef Sharon Tay, founder of Momolato Cafe who took the time to share with me more about keto gelato. 

In a nutshell, from a gelato newbie like myself, keto gelato is delicious gelato that gives you maximum enjoyment, it’s not too sweet (as compared to ice cream), not too much carbohydrates and no added sugars. For Momolato Cafe, they only use natural sweeteners such as erythritol and stevia. 

If you like to know more in-depth about Momolato Cafe keto gelato, please visit their page dedicated to the topic of Keto on their website. 

Many more Artisanal Gelato to try!

There are still a lot more gelato flavours to try out, I would also love to try out their gelato cakes popsicles, smoothies, waffles, ice cream cones. I have to plan a few trips back Haji Lane to continue tasting and enjoying artisanal gelato at Momolato Cafe. I haven’t try their Gelato cone and I want a double scoop! 

I would like to thank Momolato Cafe and Empower Marketing Asia for hosting me to a very delicious gelato tasting at Momolato Cafe.

Thanks to foodie influencer Keropokman for inviting me to join #jalanhuat to Clementi, part of jalanjalan.me ground up initiative and movement supporting local businesses, curated by residents. Being a Clementi/West Coast resident, I thought I would know most of the places in my neighbourhood. Never did I realise that I have been missing out on some hidden gems in my own local neighbourhood! 

Now let me bring you on my #jalanhuat foodie adventure to Clementi, for a #jalaneat, #jalanshop, #jalansee and #jalando fun time!

The Cheese House Singapore

First and foremost, I am not the biggest cheese lover. It took me a bit longer than most other people to appreciate cheese, thanks to my friend Chef Keith for his cheese platter selections whenever we dine at his home. When I visited The Cheese House, I was blown away by their selection of farmhouse and artisan cheese on offer. 

During my visit to The Cheese House Singapore, I learnt a lot more about cheese, their production and selection of farmhouse and artisan cheese in their shop. I also learnt how to create my own cheese platter using the world’s best cheese from traditional farms, along with artisanal pairings to make a cheese platter.

If you are a cheese lover in Singapore, you definitely have to check out The Cheese House Singapore for their farmhouse and artisan cheese selections.

Igokochi Dining Bar

Are you a Japanese food lover? If yes, do you love an omakase meal? For the folks staying in the Western part of Singapore, you can enjoy an omakase meal in the neighbourhood of West Coast/Clementi! Introducing Igokochi Dining Bar, they offers a range of authentic Japanese dining experiences, including delicious omakase meals tailor-made to your tastes using seasonal ingredients. They offer the highest quality ingredients at affordable prices. 

Not just omakase, Igokochi Dining Bar has sushi on their menu too. Oh yes, they also have an Izakaya menu too and a nice cosy bar with Japanese whisky (Nikka – my favourite), Sake etc. I am missing Japanese cuisine since I can’t travel to Japan during this period and Igokochi Dining Bar is likely to be my hangout for Japanese cuisine and drinking place. Oh yes, it’s near my home too!

They have a nice selection of signature sweet treats such as their Vanilla & Lemon filled donuts, Berry, Satsuma, Bagel (Cream Cheese) and Mont Blanc. If you are a pastries and cakes lover, you have to visit them and check them out! Do check out their iced uji matcha and hot Osmanthus oolong from Alishan as well!

Gelato Labo / Glass Roasters 

Would you like to have delicious gelato and signature brew coffee together? At Gelato Labo and Glass Roasters at 108 Faber Drive, now you can! Rejoice for those living in the western part of Singapore! You will be spoilt for choices with the new and inventive gelato flavours on offer at Gelato Labo, the rustic design and setting at Glass Roasters gives you a vibe that is not commonly seen in Singapore.  

I just recently began to learn and discover more about gelato and pair it with my love for coffee, I reckon this would be a lovely chic space for me to relax and enjoy with gelato and coffee.

So much more to #jalanhuat, #jalaneat, #jalanshop, #jalansee and #jalando in the heartlands!

I would like to thank foodie influencer Keropokman for the invitation to join him on the #jalanhuat to Clementi, exploring and discovering my local neighbourhood food gems that I might have missed out even though I am staying in the Clementi neighbourhood. Thanks to this #jalanhuat adventure, I got to learn more about jalanjalan.me ground up initiative and movement supporting local businesses, curated by residents.  

As a local explorer, photographer myself who had done a fair bit of walking, eating and exploring different neighbourhoods in Singapore, I realised that I have a lot more hidden gems to discover in Singapore! 

Since we still can’t travel out of Singapore due to the ongoing global pandemic situation, let’s take this time to learn, understand and know more about our home ground, Singapore. Not only can we take this opportunity to be a local tourist, enjoy and have fun, we are also supporting our local businesses too!  

Good things must share! Since there are many more hidden food gems in other neighbourhoods in Singapore that you can go out, explore and discover as you embark on your own SingapoRediscovers #jalanhuat adventure to #jalaneat,  #jalanshop, #jalansee and #jalando, not just in Clementi, in other neighbourhoods in Singapore such as Bedok, Ang Mo Kio, Chong Pang, Jalan Besar etc etc?

“For a long time now we have been the ‘brand behind the brands’,” said Chef Tay, who won Champion of the Gelato World Tour, Asia in 2015 and went on to become the top Asian gelato artisan in the finals in Italy in 2017. “We work with F&B businesses and corporates to design exceptional, honest and all-natural gelato,” added Tay, who learned her craft after spending time in Italy in 2013. “We’ve also been offering this through our online delivery service. Now we want to bring our brand of gelato love to a café as well.”

Visit Momolato at their tropical theme shophouse cafe in trendy Haji Lane in the Kampong Glam neighbourhood of Singapore. They will feature 18 of Momolato’s gourmet, pioneering keto, vegan and sugar-free gelato flavours as their full range of popsicles, gelato cakes, nama chocolate and artisanal creations.

Momolato is arguably Singapore’s most premium gelato producer, they use only the best ingredients sourced from all over the world to come up with a sophisticated hybrid range of diabetic-friendly flavours. Favourites include the Keto Nama Chocolate, Keto Salted Caramel with Crushed Cookies and Caramel Sauce, Stylo Milo Dina with Marshmallows, Dark Chocolate Sorbet and the ever-popular Chocolate Hazelnut, a culmination of Momolato’s intense dedication to premium chocolate and absolute pursuit of perfect nuttiness.

The café will also include Momolato’s award-winning range of gelato cakes including Korean Strawberry Cheesecake bursting with summer flavours; Cookies and Cream, made using handcrafted Hokkaido cream gelato that explodes with a ton of Oreo cookies; and the ever-popular Cotton Candy Bubble Gum cake in dazzling blue and pink swirls.

Gelato has boomed as a business sector in Singapore with the industry’s newfound focus on specialty flavours that appeal to consumers mindful of trends towards plant-based foods. This trend has seen a reduction in dairy content across the board with a greater leaning towards probiotics, sophisticated organic flavours and specialty diets.

Momolato is slated to open in the third week of March 2021, stay tuned keep a lookout for them!
