1. Ice Cream Cone from Emack & Bolio’s

2. Soft Serve from Eyescream and Churros
What do you do when you’re craving a cool-down and a delicious Mexican churro? Cater to both of these needs at once at this dessert shop that serves the sugary fried dough sticks on top of soft-serve ice cream.

3. The Vanishing Christmas Tree from Honey Crème
Dream of snowier times to distract yourself from the sweltering heat as you watch Honey Crème adorn and serve you their “Vanishing Christmas Tree.” It goes like this: Soft serve plus chocolate and cocoa powder, topped with a wintery fluff of candy floss and mint green syrup.

4. Nice Pops
Ice is nice in the summer. Not only will Nice Pops get you through the Hong Kong heat wave, but their delicious flavors also come with a boozy kick.
