Banana Tree, the award-winning Southeast Asian restaurant, is about to show dessert as we all know it on its head with the launch of a brand-new, boundary-breaking Soy Sauce Ice Cream.
Touchdown on menus throughout all Banana Tree eating places tomorrow (Wednesday twenty fifth June), this limited-edition dish is about to spark critical debate, delight curious diners, and lift a couple of eyebrows alongside the best way.
At simply £3.25, it’s essentially the most adventurous scoop you’ll do that summer time.
This sudden flavour fusion was found by Banana Tree’s Government Chef Rahul throughout a meals tour of Bangkok, a metropolis famed for its excellent steadiness of candy, salty, spicy and bitter. Deep within the backstreets, he stumbled throughout one thing extraordinary, soy sauce ice cream.
Creamy. Savoury. Candy. With an umami hit that made it fully unforgettable.
Again within the UK, Banana Tree partnered with artisan ice cream maker Yee Kwan to convey this daring thought to life. The outcome? A easy vanilla ice cream gently infused with soy sauce, rippled with a wealthy, darkish umami swirl, and served with an non-compulsory drizzle of additional soy sauce on the desk – so friends can dial up the depth to their style.
It’s candy. It’s salty. It’s just a little wild. Slightly odd. And it really works.
The flavour lands someplace between salted caramel and toasted nuts, with hints of molasses and a whisper of roasted espresso, the sort of depth solely soy sauce can convey. It’s a dessert with character, punch, and loads of conversation-starting potential.
