Flowering Ice Cream from Ajinomoto Co. and Solar Foods! (Singapore)
Leading Japanese multinational food and biotechnology company Ajinomoto Co., Inc. and Finnish startup Solar Foods launched Flowering Ice Cream—using the first and only food truck concept by new brand Atlr. 72! The brand, launched last year by Ajinomoto Co., offers healthy, environmentally conscious products that reduce the use of animal ingredients.
Each cup of the brand’s ice cream was beautifully decorated with colorful 3D cookies shaped like flowers and birds, conveying the message of leaving a beautiful nature and planet for the future. The bright yellow color of the ice cream comes from the natural carotenoids found in Solein, a Finnish protein made using electricity and CO2.
From March 28 to April 16, the Atlr. 72 food truck was available at various locations in Singapore, serving three flavors of its Flowering Ice Cream for SGD 7 (USD 5.35) for a single scoop or SGD 13 (USD 9.94) for a double scoop.
The dairy-based (Signature) Vanilla with Mochi flavor offered creamy, smooth vanilla ice cream paired with soft, chewy Japanese rice cake. Two non-dairy debuts were also available.
Additional locations for this unique pop-up will be announced in the future!
