[PHOTOS] This Cafe In Subang Jaya Lets You Eat Ice Cream Out Of A Fish!
The latest trend in Korean-inspired desserts definitely can't swim... but they sure are good to eat!

The dessert chain has expanded to the rest of the Asian region, namely China, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Thailand. Its first Malaysian branch, situated in SS15, Subang Jaya, opened its doors in December 2015.
Soft serve yoghurt ice cream is served in a carp-shaped waffle cone, paired with a chocolate-covered fruit skewer and topped with some chocolate drizzle, cereal bits, and/or cookie crumbs. What's more, the bottom of the cone is stuffed with a sweet filling!
