Thailand’s cult-favorite gelato brand Blendies has landed in Hong Kong. The artisanal gelato shop, known for its signature ultra-dense, elastic texture and social media buzz, opens its first Hong Kong outpost today at K11 Art Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Helmed by a Le Cordon Bleu-trained executive chef who also trained at École Ducasse in Paris, Blendies crafts its gelato using fresh fruits and premium ingredients — completely free of artificial additives and preservatives. The brand’s signature texture is achieved through advanced freezing technology, resulting in a dense, chewy consistency that sets it apart from standard gelato.
The global debut of the Hong Kong-exclusive Napoleon Egg Tart flavor takes center stage. The gelato base is infused with Madagascar vanilla seeds, premium heavy cream, and rich egg yolks to replicate the silky custard of an authentic egg tart, then showered with flaky pastry crisps and drizzled with caramel sauce in a freshly baked cone.
Other standout flavors include the Premium Signature Pistachio, made with Turkish pistachios and rolled in crushed nuts, and Premium Macadamia, featuring slow-roasted nuts folded into a velvety cream base. Eight basic flavors round out the menu: Cacao Porcelana, Yoghurt Biscoff, Strawberry Cheese Tart, Luzon Mango, Cappuccino Tiramisu, Sea Salt Caramel with Chocolate Crisp, Real Thai Tea, and Roasted Corn with Brown Sugar.
To celebrate the opening, guests who purchase a basic flavor from July 10 to July 24 receive a complimentary upgrade to a freshly baked, hand-rolled waffle cone.
