Statement
Monkiki is a dairy-free soft-swirl ice cream brand that uses coconut milk and features four tropical fruit flavors: rambutan, mangosteen, sugar apple, and jackfruit. While these fruits are uncommon in traditional ice cream offerings, they are thoughtfully selected to appeal to Southeast Asian consumers, particularly the Vietnamese community. Because many countries outside Southeast Asia have limited access to these familiar homeland fruits, Monkiki aims to provide a nostalgic experience—allowing customers to reconnect with the flavors of home through its unique ice cream selections.
