Flavour I tried: #10 Saison de Fruit

Comment: The shop is girlishly decorated with pink and black wordings...very classy and french-feel. The staffs are quite friendly, greet the customers with wide smiles, and ready to recommend you to the popular flavours and according to you likings.

Saison de Fruit is the flavour recommended by the staff and I give it a try. It is ice-cream consist of strawberry and apple ice-cream, and stirred together with fresh cream. Added and mixed to the product are fresh berries and apple bits and some maracon biscuit pieces. Just the presentation of the ice-cream looks very delicious.

The ice-cream melts very fast so you gotta finish it quick. The fruit aroma is strong and very sweet. I feel refreshed after eating it. The fruit bits and biscuits make it taste like a fruitty sundae without the syrup. Must try!

Highly recommend to those ice-cream lovers who love sweet stuffs yet want a slightly 'healthier' diet for ice-creams! *wink* =)

Island Creamery


Shop: Island Creamery

Address: Bukit Timah Serene Centre (2 shops away from the MacDonald)

Speciality: Customised and unique flavours of ice-cream such as Puluo Hitam, Apple Pie, Tiger Sorbet (Tiger Beer!)

Flavour I order: Apple Pie & Puluo Hitam, and a Mudpie

Comments: The shop's wall is decorated with numberous photographs taken by the customers who had been there. There is a photo printing machine at the counter where you can print your photos instantly, decorate it with the marker provided and leave it in the box placed next to the machine, and the staff will help you paste it on the wall eventually so you can see it next time you patronised the shop! Very friendly and sweet idea for you to remember the good times you have there ya? *wink* =)

I love my Puluo Hitam ice-cream the most. It taste like the local dessert...but in the form of ice-cream. Not too sweet, very fresh and chewy. Apple-pie flavour, however, I find it a little too sweet. But still the apple smell and taste is very strong. You are sure to fall in love with them!

Mudpie is the disappointment I had so far. Unless you are so crazy about chocolate, you will find the chocolate taste is very strong. In fact, TOO strong. Though I love chocolate a lot too but still after some time, it becomes too sweet and strong and just a bit sick of it. The oreo biscuits are alright, make it more crunchy.

Highly recommend to those ice-cream lovers who dare to try out new flavours and those who are already bored with the common flavours around here. This is certainly a good place with its really special flavours that they should be proud of! *thumbs up for the great inventions* =D
