Seriously Ice Cream @ Everton Park

Located just a very doors away from Nylon Coffee Roasters is the newly opened Seriously Ice Cream. Owner Daniel Teo churns out small batches of his innovative flavour combinations at the shop. Each day there are about 12 different flavours available. Some of the interesting ice cream flavours available during my visit were Miso Gula Melaka, Collagen, Honey Rosemary etc

Waffles with 2 scoops 3/5

After trying out the different flavours, we decided to go for the Waffles with 2 scoops ($9.60) of ice cream. For the ice cream, we had the Lychee Rise and Orange Crush. The waffle itself was decent but with rooms for improvement. The ice cream itself seriously needs more adjustments in our opinion. The group of five of felt that the ice cream textures were too icy. It lacked the smooth creamy texture in a real ice cream. It felt more like we are having ice shave rather than ice cream.

Miso Gula Melaka 2.5/5

As mentioned earlier, Seriously Ice Cream has a lot of interesting flavour combinations. Accordingly to the owner one of the most popular flavour is the Miso Gula Melaka ($4.30 for premium 1 scoop). The ice cream palour will usually rotates the 12 flavours periodically but decided to have this as permanent due to popular demand. While I applauded the bold creativity, this did not impress me at home. Bluntly, this tasted bland with a confused taste and the icy texture did not help.

The 20 plus seaters ice palour not only sells ice cream and waffles. It also has a retail corner selling stuff like accessories, sunglasses and bags etc.

Seriously Ice Cream seriously needs to make some immediate adjustment to their ice cream. I like their bold ice cream flavours which is half of the winning formula, once they manage to get the other half right I am sure it will be a hit. I look forward to their improvement before the ice cream dream melted.

Thai Village Mooncake 2014

Since we last visit to Thai Village at Indoor Stadium, the restaurant seems to be able to spring up another surprise for me. Besides the yummy Thai Teochew cuisine the restaurant offers, it never occurs to me that the restaurant also sells mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I have tried many durian mooncakes and I find that Thai Village is really thoughtful with the styrofoam box besides the packaging. As we all know not all people likes the smell of durian and this can help seal the smell while keeping it temporary chilled for takeaway.

Thai Village Snowskin Mao Shan Wang Durian Mooncake ($60+ for 8pc) is made using 100% durian paste without preservatives. The bite size mini mooncake with its creamy durian paste felt exactly as if one is having the real fruit.

For those that prefer the traditional baked mooncakes, Thai Village also offers the White Lotus Seed Paste ($46+ for 4 c), White Lotus Seed Paste with Double Yolks ($48+ for 4pc), Pandan Lotus Seed Paste with Double Yolks ($48+ for 4pc) and Traditional Assorted Nuts ($48+ for 4pc).

The mooncakes can be purchased at various Thai Village Restaurants in Singapore at the following outlets,
