Thi & Piccolina first worked together during Thi’s 2022 appearance in the Piccolina Gelato Project, 8 Chefs in 8 Weeks, and food lovers across the city have highly anticipated a return collaboration.
Piccolina Founder Sandra Foti says, “Lunar New Year felt like the perfect moment to collaborate again. The dessert is delicious and it honours Italian gelato tradition while celebrating the richness of Asian dessert culture.”

Piccolina + Thi Le present Lunar New Year
We’ve joined forces with our friend Thi Le of Anchovy, to ring in the Year of the Horse with a Vietnamese-inspired dessert called Chè.
The dessert features freeze dried corn, coconut gelato, creamed corn, corn custard, toasted coconut flakes, toasted sesame.
“It’s a dessert done with corn, and in Vietnam it’s always generally paired with coconut. It just works so well. Just two ingredients, and we’re playing with textures.” says Thi, 2026 Chef of the Year. “Piccolina has this straightforward approach to gelato - very natural, the same with my cooking. Right now, we’re in the height of summer, and I think it’s the best time to eat corn, so for me it just makes so much sense to use what’s best in season right now.”
Available from Tuesday 17 January to Wednesday 4 March.
