relieve your sweet obsessions
Finally, i stepped into a specialty home-made icecream store! Just look at the storefront, its no doubt the bubbliest-looking and most welcoming shop- it simply smiles at you.
Enter a barbie world of cool white decor with touches of pink, yes girly, but soothing.
Then, be spoilt for choice with the many traditional and innovatively-concocted local flavours. Take your pick from nutella, earl grey, belgium chocolate, horlicks, dino milo, blueberry cheesecake, rum & raisins, mango, coffee, vanilla. For a local dig, there's teh tarik, chempedak, bandung, durian, and even kueh lapis!
Furthermore, you can choose to have them with crepes, waffles or brownies. Just 3 simple steps to follow: make your orders, plop yourself down on the comfortable sofa seats and wait to be served- and you'll be brought back to childhood.
Crepe with Kuih Lapis Ice Cream & Peanut Topping
($4.80+ $0.50 for toppings)
Kueh Lapis Icecream:
Crepe:
I can't help but pick the kueh lapis icecream without hesitation. Here it comes served with a sheet of egg crepe, drizzled with chocolate sauce and then topped with chopped peanuts. As i scooped up the icecream, i noticed something- there were cubes of lapis cake blended in. It leaves a nice flavour with middling sweetness.
Waffle with Chempedak Ice Cream ($4.80)
Chempedak Icecream:
Waffle:
My next choice was a chempedak (jackfruit) icecream to go with the homemade waffles. The waffle did not disappoint, but the exotic-flavoured scoop did. I'm sure if it was because jackfruits aren't my thing, but the empowering taste of it just didn't appeal to me. I would have preferred something creamier.
Ice Cream Fondue ($12.90)
The ice cream fondue comes full to its value with the generous assortment of sides. 12 blocks of icecream (chocolate, vanilla & horlicks), chunks of kiwi strawberries & bananas, fluffy marshmallow pillows, 2 waffle sheets as well as chopped peanuts accompanied the melted chocolate in a flaming earthenware pot. The icecream flavours were fixed and unable to be replaced.
Looking like a dreamy indulgence, it was sure a way to kick back, relax and enjoy gradual bites of sweetness. However, all is spoilt by the low-quality chocolate which came badly diluted.
Overall: Their icecreams can strike a chord with both kids and adults, but it was overall too icy in texture and insuffiently lacking in richness and creamyness. Despite that, i feel that i've found the perfect location to chill out on a scorching hot day.
