Malaysia’s Independence Day has always been more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a celebration of culture, food, and unity that brings Malaysians together across generations.
This year, homegrown ice cream brand Inside Scoop is once again honouring the spirit of Merdeka with a mouthwatering tribute: Lokal Legends 2025.
Returning for its second year, the Lokal Legends collection introduces six limited-edition ice cream flavours inspired by some of Malaysia’s most beloved household brands — Gardenia, GSC, Julie’s, Beryl’s, ZUS Coffee, and Farm Fresh.
These collaborations transform nostalgic local favourites into indulgent frozen desserts that perfectly capture the Malaysian identity.
A Sweet Journey from Bangsar to Merdeka 2025
Since its founding in Bangsar in 2013, Inside Scoop has remained proudly Malaysian. The brand has created over 200 flavours in the past decade, drawing inspiration from the snacks, drinks, and desserts that Malaysians know by heart.
From their first shop to more than 60 outlets nationwide, Inside Scoop has built its reputation on creating ice cream “born in Malaysia, made for Malaysians.”
With this year’s Lokal Legends, Inside Scoop takes that philosophy even further — blending tradition, nostalgia, and creativity into every scoop.
The Six Lokal Legends of 2025
Each flavour in the Lokal Legends collection tells a story, celebrating the brands that have shaped Malaysian tastebuds for decades.
- Gardenia’s Twiggies Choc-A-Lot
A nostalgic trip to childhood lunchboxes, this flavour combines creamy milk chocolate ice cream with chunks of Gardenia Twiggies Choc-A-Lot. Sweet, soft, and playful, it’s a tribute to Malaysia’s favourite snack cake. - GSC’s Caramel Popcorn
A flavour that brings cinema nights to life, this creation blends popcorn ice cream with swirls of salted caramel and buttered pecans. Inspired by the unmistakable aroma of freshly popped popcorn at Golden Screen Cinemas, it’s the ultimate treat for movie lovers. - Julie’s Le-mond Lemon
Light, tangy, and refreshing, this lemon ice cream is infused with Julie’s iconic Le-mond sandwich crackers and ripples of citrus curd. Perfect for sunny afternoons, it’s a flavour that radiates brightness. - Beryl’s Gula Melaka Chocolate
Combining Malaysian tradition with premium indulgence, this flavour pairs rich gula melaka chocolate ice cream with crunchy chocolate layers and buttery crumble. It’s Inside Scoop’s love letter to local desserts, elevated with Beryl’s renowned chocolate craftsmanship. - ZUS Coffee’s Spanish Latté
For coffee lovers, this is a dream come true. Inspired by ZUS Coffee’s signature drink, this espresso-based milk ice cream is enriched with condensed milk and topped with crunchy chocolate-coated cones. A modern Malaysian twist, it delivers bold flavour in every bite. - Farm Fresh’s Choco Malt Kaw
Making a comeback with an even stronger kick, this flavour is inspired by Farm Fresh’s popular Choco Malt drink. With fudgy chocolate swirls and crunchy malt soil, it’s rich, kaw, and satisfyingly nostalgic.
A Love Letter to Malaysia
“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.”
This campaign is more than just an ice cream launch. It’s about celebrating the essence of being Malaysian, highlighting the flavours that connect us to our roots, our families, and our shared experiences.
Adding to the festive spirit, each scoop of Lokal Legends is served in a custom-designed cup sleeve that features the colours and branding of the collaborators. These cups aren’t just containers; they’re keepsakes that mark the season of Merdeka.
For fans who can’t pick just one, Inside Scoop is also offering the Lokal Legends Party Pack (RM68), which includes all six flavours in a celebratory bundle — a perfect way to share the joy with friends and family during the Merdeka season.

The Lokal Legends 2025 collection is available at all Inside Scoop outlets nationwide from 18 August to 21 September 2025. Whether you’re treating yourself after a long day or planning a family Merdeka gathering, these flavours promise to bring back cherished memories with every bite.
