Chef Reif Othman is giving dessert the REIF treatment with a new line-up of Japanese-inspired frozen creations now available across REIF Japanese Kushiyaki in Dubai.
At REIF Dubai Hills, two new takes on kakigori — Japan’s much-loved shaved-ice dessert — have joined the menu. The Kakigori Parfait piles finely shaved ice with jackfruit, kokuto syrup, assorted fruit jelly and sweet corn. Colourful, textural and slightly unexpected, every spoonful brings something different.
The Spanish Latte Kakigori takes a flavour Dubai knows well and gives it a Japanese twist, layering shaved ice with Spanish latte syrup, coffee jelly and kinako mochi for a cold, creamy and chewy take on the coffee favourite.
The Japanese dessert line-up continues at REIF Dar Wasl and the newly opened City Centre Mirdif location, where the Kokuto Latte Soft Serve is now available. The creamy soft serve takes the flavour of kokuto latte and gives it the frozen REIF treatment, adding another cold dessert to the menu just as Dubai settles into the hottest stretch of the year.
The new desserts continue Chef Reif’s approach of starting with familiar Japanese flavours and ideas, then adding an unexpected ingredient, texture or twist along the way. The Kakigori Parfait and Spanish Latte Kakigori are available now at REIF Dubai Hills, while the Kokuto Latte Soft Serve is available at REIF Dar Wasl and City Centre Mirdif.
