Inside Scoop has launched the second edition of its successful Lokal Legends collection, coinciding with the 68th Merdeka celebration. Featuring six bold, flavour-packed creations co-created with beloved homegrown brands, this new collection transforms nostalgic favourites into creamy, handcrafted scoops that celebrate Malaysia’s vibrant culinary heritage.
Founded in Bangsar in 2013, Inside Scoop has remained true to its Malaysian roots. The brand has developed over 200 unique flavours inspired by popular local snacks, drinks, and desserts. This year’s Lokal Legends line includes six new flavours based on beloved local favourites:
- Gardenia’s Twiggies Choc-A-Lot: A heartfelt tribute to the ultimate Malaysian childhood snack, this luscious milk chocolate ice cream is generously layered with bite-sized pieces of Gardenia Twiggies Choc-A-Lot. It’s nostalgia you can scoop — a sweet reminder of simpler times and cherished memories.
- GSC’s Caramel Popcorn: Inspired by the golden aroma of freshly popped popcorn wafting through Malaysian cinemas, this popcorn ice cream swirls salted caramel and buttered pecans throughout. A creamy homage to the joy of weekend movie nights on a GSC leather seat, shared with those you love.
- Julie’s Le-mond Lemon: Bright and zesty lemon ice cream meets the iconic tang of Julie’s Le-mond Lemon sandwich crackers and a ripple of citrusy curd. This flavour is sunshine in a scoop — an ode to a beloved Malaysian pantry staple.
- Beryl’s Gula Melaka Chocolate: Where tradition meets indulgence — rich gula melaka chocolate ice cream crafted with our favourite homegrown chocolatier, layered with cracking chocolate and buttery crumble. A love letter to Malaysian flavours, reimagined as a decadent dessert.
- ZUS Coffee’s Spanish Latté: Inspired by the homegrown coffee shop’s signature drink, this espresso-based milk ice cream is infused with condensed milk for that unmistakable flavour. Layered with crunchy chocolate-coated cones, it’s a modern twist on a cherished Malaysian favourite.
- Farm Fresh’s Choco Malt Kaw: A bolder, more intense take on last year’s favourite — now extra kaw with fudgy chocolate swirls and crunchy choco malt soil. Made with Farm Fresh Choco Malt, this homegrown edition of the nostalgic chocolate malt drink brings you right back to the good old days.
“This year’s Lokal Legends is a love letter to Malaysia,” says Edmund Tan, Co-Founder of Inside Scoop. “We’re proud to collaborate with brands that Malaysians have grown up with – from movie-night favourites to childhood snacks – and turn them into something uniquely ours. Every scoop is handcrafted here in Malaysia, a celebration of the creativity and community that define us.”
From their first scoop in Bangsar to over 60 outlets across the country, Inside Scoop has always aimed to create ice cream that Malaysians can cherish. This year’s Lokal Legends campaign honors that journey by teaming up with six popular local brands to celebrate the flavors we love.
During this celebration, each single-scoop Lokal Legends ice cream will be served in a custom-designed cup sleeve that showcases the partner brand’s colors along with the proud “Lokal Legends” logo – a wonderful keepsake for this Merdeka season. These ice creams are available individually or as a limited-edition Lokal Legends Party Pack (RM68), featuring flavors that represent the essence of Malaysia’s food culture.
The Lokal Legends 2025 collection will be available at all Inside Scoop outlets nationwide from 18 August to 21 September 2025.
