Kekou is the epitome of quirky, Asian-inspired fro yo and gelato. If you've been to East Asia and was lucky enough to dine on the geographically "exclusive" durian and tofu flavoured ice cream/gelato, then you have to wiggle your behind over to Kekou! Kekou manages to banish all elements of geographical boundaries, serving notable flavours, such as durian, almond tofu, Vietnamese coffee, jasmine tea, whiskey green tea, rosewater pistachio, and the list goes on.
Many of these dairy goodies are made in-house and none of them have preservatives, stabilizers, food colouring, dextrose, corn syrup, soy lecithin, and etc. I give this a big thumbs up, because you see too many products out there labeled as "frozen dairy desserts" rather than desserts made with real milk and cream without all the unpronounceable chemicals and additives.
My usual go-to is the durian gelato, which comes to no surprise (re: my name). This time around, however, I opted for the Rosewater Pistachio gelato and the Almond Tofu gelato, partly because I have been on the rosewater beauty bandwagon for some time now and partly because tofu has always been a great ingredient in East-Asian desserts for as long as I can remember. Both gelatos had great flavour. They didn't taste water-downed or too "in-your-face". They tasted very refreshing, actually, so much so that you wouldn't think you were eating anything unhealthy at all!
Kekou's staff members are very friendly and are eager to let you sample any of their concoctions during your visit. Need a cup of joe every morning? Then grab the Vietnamese Coffee. Love your original bubble tea? Try the HK Milk Tea or Jasmine Tea. Need a bit of "adult" zing in your dessert? Then I highly recommend the Whiskey Green Tea (another personal favourite). From what I've seen, they rotate their flavours, so sometimes you'll be lucky enough to find the soy bean/kinako gelatos and some other ginger varieties (right now, they have Chocolate Ginger, but I'm not a chocolate fan).
Kekou has been my HG dessert joint since its inception and I think it will remain in this place, even in the face of iHalo Krunch (which has charcoal and ube ice cream), Pablo (Japanese cheese tart master), and the ever-expanding Japanese cheesecake fad. Their prices are very similar to those found at Dairy Queen, Basket Robbins, and etc., so there really isn't anything to lose!
