If there is one thing that can brighten up a typical Friday afternoon in Singapore, it’s a delightful giveaway – especially when it involves free soft serve ice cream. On 18 July 2025, 108 Matcha Saro is bringing a special treat to the table at their Tampines 1 outlet. In collaboration with Gold 905’s Freebie Friday, they are giving away 100 cups of their signature Mix Matcha & Hojicha soft serve, absolutely free of charge. Yes, free – no strings attached, no minimum spend, just pure indulgence.
For those who appreciate authentic Japanese flavours or are constantly on the lookout for hidden dessert gems, this is one not to miss. This limited giveaway event is set to run from 3.30pm to 5.30pm and is strictly on a first come, first served basis – so if one is keen on getting their hands on this creamy delight, punctuality is key.
Why This Soft Serve Is Worth the Trip
What makes this giveaway stand out isn’t just that it’s free. It’s the quality behind the offering. 108 Matcha Saro is known among dessert aficionados in Singapore for their dedication to traditional Japanese recipes. They use authentic Uji Matcha sourced directly from Kyoto – a region renowned for producing some of the finest green tea in Japan. This is paired with Shizuoka Hojicha, a roasted green tea that brings a nutty, earthy aroma and flavour.
The fusion of matcha and hojicha in their soft serve creates a balanced blend – the bittersweet edge of matcha meeting the toasted richness of hojicha. For those unfamiliar with Japanese tea flavours, this is a great entry point into understanding their distinct characteristics. The texture of the soft serve is silky and smooth, providing a satisfying mouthfeel that lingers long after the first bite.
In Singapore’s year-round tropical heat, a cool, creamy dessert like this is a welcome refreshment. And while there are many options available across the island, few are as thoughtfully crafted as what 108 Matcha Saro offers.
108 Matcha Saro – A Name That Speaks Quality
Originating from Japan, 108 Matcha Saro has slowly but surely made its mark in Singapore’s dessert scene. Besides their famed soft serves, they are known for warabi mochi, obanyaki, and matcha parfaits, which have found fans among both locals and tourists.
The use of high-grade Japanese ingredients sets them apart from typical soft serve chains. They make everything fresh on-site, ensuring the quality never dips – a reflection of their dedication to traditional preparation methods.
Those who have previously enjoyed their offerings will know that their soft serves normally retail at a premium, which makes this freebie even more worth chasing. Whether one is already a fan or trying it for the first time, this is a perfect opportunity to indulge.
Why You Should Head Down to Tampines 1 on 18 July
Apart from the obvious reason – free dessert – this event adds excitement to an otherwise ordinary Friday afternoon. If one happens to be in the East or can plan a short trip to Tampines 1, it’s a great excuse to take a mid-week break and treat oneself.
Tampines 1 itself is conveniently located and easily accessible by MRT, with plenty of shopping and food options nearby. So even if someone arrives early to queue for the soft serve, there’s no shortage of things to explore while waiting.
This giveaway is also a great family-friendly event. Parents with kids looking for a casual outing will find this a fun way to spend a couple of hours, with the added bonus of cooling down with a top-tier Japanese dessert. Friends looking for something different to do can use this as a conversation starter or a weekend kickoff.
It’s also worth noting that promotions like these often run out fast. Only 100 soft serves will be given out, and judging by past events of this nature, queues can form quite quickly. So those genuinely interested should aim to arrive early.
Support Local Outlets & Enjoy International Flavours
Events like this not only provide a fun activity for shoppers or dessert lovers but also encourage footfall to local outlets like 108 Matcha Saro’s branch at Tampines 1. While the soft serve may be the attraction on the day, the brand offers a full menu of premium Japanese sweets that are worth exploring even beyond the giveaway.
There’s also something meaningful about taking part in such campaigns – it allows shoppers to discover lesser-known gems in malls they may not regularly visit. Supporting brands that bring authentic international flavours to Singapore shores helps them continue their craft and provide a wider variety of experiences for everyone.
For those who end up loving the soft serve (which is highly likely), they’ll be glad to know that 108 Matcha Saro offers a consistent menu throughout the year. Even if one misses the giveaway, the standard menu remains a treat worth returning for.
A Friendly Tip Before You Go
Since this giveaway operates on a first come, first served basis, timing is everything. Arriving early – perhaps around 3.00pm – would be wise. Not only does it ensure a better chance of grabbing one of the 100 soft serves, but it also provides some time to explore the area or enjoy other refreshments at Tampines 1.
Bring a friend along. It’s always more enjoyable when food is shared, even more so when it’s free. Plus, it makes waiting in the queue a lot more pleasant.
Lastly, check out Gold 905’s Freebie Friday updates. They regularly collaborate with local brands to host similar promotions. If one misses this round, there’s always a chance another treat will come up soon.
So mark the calendar, set the reminder, and get ready for a memorable Friday afternoon with one of Singapore’s best-kept dessert secrets – courtesy of 108 Matcha Saro and Gold 905.
