Birds of Paradise Best Sellers
The birds of paradise best sellers start with White Chrysanthemum, the floral signature the shop is known for, followed by Strawberry Basil, Lychee Raspberry, and Sea Salt Hojicha. If you want the short version, order White Chrysanthemum first and pair it with something fruity or tea based, and you will have tasted the range that made this shop famous. This ranking comes from what guides and regulars name again and again, since the shop does not publish its own sales figures, and the full Birds of Paradise menu is the place to check the day’s board before you go.
What are the Birds of Paradise best sellers?
White Chrysanthemum sits at the top of every guide list, and it earns that spot. It tastes like chilled chrysanthemum tea turned into gelato, light and floral, with crunchy cacao nibs that keep it from feeling too delicate. Strawberry Basil comes next for first timers, since the basil lifts the strawberry without turning it savoury, and Lychee Raspberry is the sharp, sweet fruit pick for hot days. Sea Salt Hojicha is the tea lover’s pick, roasted and salty in a way that cuts through sweetness, while Spiced Pear brings warm spice and real pear chunks, and Midnight Gianduja covers the chocolate hazelnut craving without feeling heavy. Pistachio and Pandan turn up often too, so treat them as strong backups when the top six are sold out or off the board.
| Rank | Best seller | What it tastes like |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | White Chrysanthemum | Light, floral, like chilled chrysanthemum tea, with crunchy cacao nibs |
| 2 | Strawberry Basil | Bright strawberry lifted by fresh basil, sweet without being plain |
| 3 | Lychee Raspberry | Sweet lychee sharpened by raspberry, built for hot days |
| 4 | Sea Salt Hojicha | Roasted tea with salt, less sweet, a grown up scoop |
| 5 | Spiced Pear | Warm spice with pear pieces, a cooler evening pick |
| 6 | Midnight Gianduja | Chocolate hazelnut, rich yet light for a chocolate scoop |
Which best seller should you order first?
For a first visit, order a double with one floral scoop and one contrasting scoop, since a single flavour won’t show you what this shop does best. White Chrysanthemum with Strawberry Basil is the classic pair, floral plus fruity, and it suits almost everyone. If you like contrast, try Lychee Raspberry with Sea Salt Hojicha, where sharp fruit meets salty roasted tea, and the two scoops pull in opposite directions in a good way. Tea drinkers can skip the fruit and go straight for Sea Salt Hojicha with Earl Grey Lemongrass, while chocolate lovers should pair Midnight Gianduja with Spiced Pear. Ask for a taste before you commit, since staff will usually let you try a flavour, and a taste saves you from a full scoop you don’t enjoy.
My pick: White Chrysanthemum with Strawberry Basil in a thyme cone, if you like crunch, or in a cup if you want the flavours clean. That pair covers the signature and the crowd favourite in one order, and it leaves you room to try a tea scoop next time.
How much do the best sellers cost?
Every flavour costs the same by format, so the best sellers don’t carry their own prices. What you pay depends on cup or cone, single or double, and the outlet, and guides disagree on the figures, so treat everything below as reported and unverified. Older guides quote a single scoop at S$4.70 and a double at S$7.70, while visitor posts quote S$5 for a cup and S$6 for a cone, and a more recent guide puts a single scoop at around S$6.50. One Burpple review quotes S$6 for a single scoop with a thyme cone and S$9 for a double, which sits inside that same spread. Budget above the older figures, and check the board at the outlet, since no single verified price covers every outlet.
| Format | Reported price | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| Single scoop | S$4.70 to S$6.50 | Older guides at the low end, recent guides at the high end, unverified |
| Single cup (visitor posts) | S$5 | Visitor posts, reported, confirm in store |
