Birds of Paradise Menu
If you searched for birds of paradise menu, you are looking at Singapore’s best known botanical gelato shop. Birds of Paradise Gelato Boutique builds its flavours from flowers, fruits, herbs, and spices, and it makes its gelato fresh daily in store. There is no plain vanilla here, and that is the point. The menu runs from White Chrysanthemum and Strawberry Basil to Sea Salt Hojicha and Spiced Pear, served in a cup or in the thyme infused waffle cone that regulars swear by. This guide covers the flavours, the reported prices, and the outlets, with prices flagged as reported wherever guides disagree.
What is on the Birds of Paradise menu?
The menu is gelato first, with cups, cones, and pints as the three ways to order it. Scoops come in a cup or in a waffle cone infused with thyme, which is made fresh in store and gives off the herbal smell visitors notice the moment they walk in. Cone chips, small bags of broken waffle cone, are sold as a snack or a topping for cups. Pints are sold for takeaway at most outlets, though guides note pints are not sold at the Jewel Changi Airport outlet. The flavour list changes with the season and with the outlet, and one guide counted around 20 flavours on the board at one time, so the table below covers the names that turn up again and again rather than a single fixed list.
| Flavour group | Flavours to look for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Floral | White Chrysanthemum, Osmanthus Pear Sorbet | White Chrysanthemum is the signature pick |
| Fruity and herbal | Strawberry Basil, Lychee Raspberry, Mango Sorbet | Light, not too sweet, built for Singapore heat |
| Tea and spiced | Sea Salt Hojicha, Earl Grey Lemongrass, Spiced Pear | Tea based flavours for a less sweet scoop |
| Rich and dark | Midnight Gianduja, Dark Chocolate Sorbet, Mint Cacao | Chocolate flavours stay light, not heavy |
| Local inspired | Pandan, Black Sticky Rice, Coconut Sorbet | Pandan and sticky rice are the local leaning picks |
What are the best Birds of Paradise flavours?
White Chrysanthemum is the answer guides give first, and it is the flavour the shop is known for. It tastes floral and light, and reviewers call it elegant and subtle rather than perfumed. Strawberry Basil comes next for most first timers, since the basil lifts the strawberry without turning it savoury. Lychee Raspberry is the fruit pick for hot days, sweet and sharp at once. Tea drinkers should go for Sea Salt Hojicha, which pairs roasted tea with salt, or Earl Grey Lemongrass, which is brighter. If you want something rich, Midnight Gianduja is the chocolate hazelnut pick, and Spiced Pear suits cooler evenings. Dairy free eaters are not left out, since sorbets like Mango Sorbet, Coconut Sorbet, and Dark Chocolate Sorbet sit on the same menu.
Flavours To Try First
For a first visit, order one floral scoop and one fruity scoop in a double, so you taste the range in one cup. White Chrysanthemum with Strawberry Basil is the classic pair, and Lychee Raspberry with Sea Salt Hojicha is the pair for people who like contrast. Ask for a taste before you commit, since the staff will usually let you try a flavour, and the board changes enough that a taste saves you from a scoop you do not enjoy. Save the thyme cone for your second scoop, since the herbal crunch changes how the gelato tastes.
How much does Birds of Paradise cost?
Prices are where you need to be careful, because guides disagree and the shop does not publish one fixed price list online. Older guides quote a single scoop at S$4.70 and a double at S$7.70, with a thyme infused cone at S$1 and pints at S$16. A more recent guide puts a single scoop at around S$6.50, and visitor posts quote S$5 for a cup and S$6 for a cone. That spread is normal for a shop whose prices have risen over time and differ by outlet, but it means no single figure in this guide should be treated as verified. Treat every price below as reported, check the board at the outlet, and budget a little above the older figures. One recent reported figure is firmer: a limited F1 pint was still listed at S$21.50 online in October 2026, past its stated end date.
Reported prices, unverified: Single scoop around S$4.70 to S$6.50 depending on guide and date. Double scoop around S$7.70 in older guides. Thyme infused cone around S$1 reported. Takeaway pint around S$16 in older guides, with a recent limited pint reported at S$21.50. Confirm all prices at the outlet.
Where are the Birds of Paradise outlets?
The original boutique sits at Katong on East Coast Road, and the chain has grown to Jewel Changi Airport, Beach Road near Haji Lane, Craig Road, and Mandai Wildlife West, with seven boutiques named in a recent guide. Most outlets open at noon and close at 10pm, with some closing at 10.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays, so check the specific outlet before you travel. Queues are part of the experience at Jewel and Katong, and seating is limited, with most shops leaning toward takeaway. If you are heading to Jewel, allow queue time, and if you want a quieter visit, try a weekday afternoon at Katong or Craig Road.
