Hello Kitty x Creme de la Creme @ Uptown Damansara

03/12/2019 No Comments

School holiday = kids are free. Well, there is one place that you can bring your kids over if you are in run for Hello Kitty x Creme de la Creme. A Hello Kitty take over on the outlet that you will be in aw for the character. From Ice Cream Cake, to drinks and ice cream specially dedicated to the character, that you will not be disappointed as this place is handpicked by Sanrio to celebreate Hello Kitty 45th year anniversary.

Look at these cute Ice cream.

AS you enter the outlet, you will be greeted with pink fridge, pink photoopp wall, and the most cute corner if you headed behind for photo opp with the huge wall.

how cool is this.

From the ice cream cake it self, there are 3 types of for you to choose from. Hello Kitty face itself, with the other 2 with ribbon. There are 2 different flavours. Personally like the one with the Hello Kitty face as it is more sourish and refreshing. At least 5-6 elements are in it.

Kitty White @ RM 25 – white chocolate crust filled with Madagascar vanilla ice cream, strawberry passion fruit sorbet, passion fruit crème and crumble.

Friendship Ring @ RM 25

Celebrating Hello Kitty’s favourite word “friendship”! Coated with chocolate and strawberry, inside there are combination of cream-cheese ice cream, strawberry ice cream, strawberry jam, peach sorbet and citrus crumble

This cute corner will be a great photo opp.

Christmas is around the corner and my highly recommended in this fridge is their Apple Pie Crumble. With nice aroma of spices of cinnamon, that did not overpower the ice cream yet hint of vanilla and pie butter crumble is prominent. From hot pie to cold ice cream. Lurve it.

Apple Pie Crumble (Bottom) and Strawberry Fantasy (top)

When it comes to drinks, there are a few:

Sugar @ RM 18 Made from of fresh strawberries, fresh sweet basil leaves, freshly squeezed lemonade and raspberry sorbet

Charmmy Kitty @ RM 18 is named after Hello Kitty’s pet cat. Serving of fresh milk blended with strawberries, topped with strawberry ice cream and peach chunks.

This take over featuring Hello Kitty x Crème De La Crème is only available from 15 November to 31 December 2019. So move your Kitty there.

25/05/2016 3 Comments

Häagen-Dazs™ Malaysia is partnering with bespoke luxury flower arrangement and delivery specialists, BloomThis, to bring a creative, playful twist to the beauty of flowers. From May 16th till July 31st, Malaysians can send a loved one the glorious gift of blooms perfectly complemented with a pint from the Little Gardens Collection of flavors. The Little Gardens Collection add to the Häagen-Dazs™ renowned line up of ice cream flavors by drawing inspiration from the beautiful and aromatic world of flowers, this summer.

Only available for 3 months, Little Gardens Collection fresh fruit flavors will be enhanced and complemented by delicate floral notes. Lychee Raspberry Rose and Apricot Lavender redefine what you thought an ice-cream flavor could be and are available in a unique floral design pint packaging. Häagen-Dazs™ scouts every corner of the world to source the best quality ingredients and these limited edition flavors highlight Häagen-Dazs™’s core philosophy of using the best ingredients to produce their signature dense, rich and indulgent ice cream.

Apricot Lavender

Made with lavender from the Mediterranean coast and plump apricots from Morocco and France, this recipe refreshes and relaxes the senses. The lavender entices the palate while a thick apricot sauce and generous scattering of apricot pieces bring a tartness that goes on to tingle the tongue.

Lychee Raspberry Rose

An intoxicating blend of rose, lychee and raspberry flavors. Inspired by the sweet allure of the world-famous Ispahan Macaron, this delicate dessert is crafted with rose extract from Turkish roses, juicy handpicked lychees from Taiwan and the sweetest raspberries to create a fragrant ice cream with the perfect balance of rose and sweet fruit that will exhilarate the palette.

My personal favourite would be Lychee Raspberry Roase as you can taste the balance of flavors where did not overpowering. Best to eat it while is solid as when it is slightly melted, the taste of ice cream changes too.

The “Little Garden” ice-cream and flower bundle is available for a limited time only on the BloomThis website (bloomthis.co) for RM 119 including delivery ( limited to certain Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley areas) along with a pint of your choice.

P.S Tokyo Soft serve @ SS2

22/03/2016 No Comments

Softserve is mushrooming every where, where P.S Tokyo was one of earlier provider that ride on the early bandwagon during the hype.

Their little concept is where you tag them in insta and you get to print out in their little machine at a corner.

Tried both of their version, and I prefer their Hojicha base over their green tea, where I like the little burnt rice taste of it.

Not bad for an ice cream where I prefer their Hojicha.

IDC Ice Dreams Cafe (New Zealand’s Kapiti Ice Cream) @ Damansara Kim

11/10/2015 2 Comments

Awww, I must say I found my new love for dessert. I guess we have many trend going on and I believe homemade ice cream is the latest trend that alot of people are venturing into. With many prominent ice cream provider such as FortyLicks, InsideScoop and now with IDC Ice Dream Cafe had made it top in my list with their creative desserts worth to hunt for.

Reading on other blogs, it seems that it is inspired by New Zealand’s Kapiti ice cream to create this brand out.

Their interior is rather simple and after staring it for a while, it gives me the impression of a green house concept.

A cozy seating home arrangement style at all the way to the back of the cafe.

I was told by one of the staff that everything is made fresh from their kitchen which they have plenty of unique flavours and its a clever flavour combination that they have done up. Not only that, the naming onto each ice cream is very creative too.

Their menu is very straight forward but if you do read it carefully, it is very playful. It looks like they are ordinary scoops of the rich, creamy ice cream in an affogato, with waffles and crepes, or maybe classic sandwich, however they are not.

I always love to try my classic with waffles with one scoop of ice cream @ RM 16. A new found love of a perfect done up waffle. Love the perfect crust with slight crips to my liking, and there is a slight unique taste that definitely make it stood out compare with others out there and I top with one of their signature Ice cream for the day, Hokey Pokey which is honey inspired. (do note that their ice cream do change from time to time and this flavour might not be available) Love the texture of ice cream which is smooth, slightly creamy yet burst with flavours. To pair with their coffee is rather interesting. Love the richness of arabica flavours that brings you back to classic kopitiam coffee taste bud yet a well balance of slight acidity at the end that balance it up and goes really well with my waffle and ice cream.

If you think you have your taste bud tested, why not hunt after their playful Infused Affogato’s @ RM 12. There are 7 flavours in total and I ordered mine with one of their signature which is Orange Zest. I must say the flavours are amazing, with a well balance of orange zest that brings you the freshness and mild sour end on your taste bud, yet their perfect affogato coffee flavour did not over power it yet my tongue can detect a nice balance of chocolate ice cream and great chocolate chip to bite after. IMPRESSIVE on how they did up the right balance of flavours for each layer.

I was here to test 2 items and ended up it got me continue to order one of their super signature item which is

Welsh Cakes @ RM 15 – Cranberry and lavender infused welsh cakes served with kapiti vintage Strawberry ice cream, topped with drizzled Honey and peppercorn sprinkles. Nothing much for me to elaborate as the flavours are amazing and left for me to say – a highly recommended item in the list.

For a home grown brand, I am certainly impress with the creativity and quality of it. This outlet at the moment sits in my top 2 spot for best homemade ice cream .

If you ever craving for unique flavours of ice cream, this would be a highly recommended place for me.

Pidapipo Gelateria @ Lygon Street, Melbourne

01/09/2015 No Comments

It was a few more nights before I fly back to my home country after 2 weeks in Australia with one of a group of friends to meet, they were on fire as for dinner they brought me to a well known Kebab place which I will blog about it soon and after that it was a gelato attack Pidapipo Gelateria and where we hunt down 3 Gelato joint in Lygon Street.

I was told that there were several hype for gelato and the latest one is Pidapipo which some of them rate on of the best Gelato in Melbourne at the moment. Track back on it, Pidapipo is known for their authentic Italian style gelato with its silky smooth base that you could not really resist.

There is a long queue for this too and average waiting time is about 15-30 minutes depending on customers pace. You will have customer tasting on their flavours and some are undecided that make up this long waiting time.

Outlet is rather small as they only have 2 small tables inside and another 5-7 more tables outside the outlet.

They have pretty good selection from Milk base to dairy free which is fruit base. Price are very reasonable too considering on the portion that they are serving.

What I got here is Bacio & Mint Chocolate Rice and another cup is Hazelnut & Passion Fruit. Indeed that their Gelato is super silky smooth, creamy for milk base and no doubt is pretty good. Their Fruit base is definitely impressive. Will be a perfect selection for spring onwards as its so refreshing and passion fruit taste is pretty strong, just like eating the fruit itself.

Its great to meet up with them Brian & Sally whom are food lovers. Thanks for bringing me around and shall see you guys soon again.

Best Alcohol Ice Cream @ Gecko, PJ Trade Center

13/12/2011 No Comments

Who would really know that actually in PJ Trade center hidden a few bars and restaurant and a new discovery in the small area we found Gecko Restaurant, Bar & Lounge with a very unique desert that worth to be share with you guys.

Please drag further down then you will understand what is so good!

Gecko is located at the end of the stretch of the bar or more visible is next to Ecobar . . .

A place that offers comfy dining in a very peaceful environment

They have tiger and Guinness draft available for you beer drinkers. . .

They offer fusion food in the restaurant ..

Chicken Merguez Sausage

As below are all the super stars for the night, as for the first time we come across superb alcohol ice cream. So we ordered a few and this is the first one that came.

Single Malt 12 years old Macallan – Ice cream is quite solid soft that pairs the taste of Macallan very well, that is not too strong, yet get to taste the alcohol is there and did not overpower the taste of vanilla. – RM 12

The super star of the night is this Guinness Flavor! It is exactly like drinking Guinness! I think would be very best to order a pint of Guinness and put a few scoops of this to make it like alcohol float! Recommended! RM10

Italian Kahlua, I would say more suits to girls as Kahlua already known by itself its a coffee liquor that is not too strong in flavour and best perfect to pair with milk and it is just right to go along. RM 10

Another Flavor is Johnnie Walker – Turns out to be not bad but have tasted the best above so my taste bud had overpower this flavor. RM 10

Bailey’s Mud Pie @ RM 10

I often had Mud Pie but never come across this Bailey’s Mud Pie that a soft warm chocolate pie is place on a mini sea alcohol of Baileys. The taste is warm, filled with alcohol and a perfect combination with ice-cream that makes it very unique in taste! – Recommended

Peanut Butter Snow Pie @ RM 10

If you are looking for something different for your desert, Gecko is one of the place to hunt for something you rarely try and its good! as for my own personal favourites of Ice – Cream I would choose 2 flavours is a must try is Guinness and Macallen!
