home-made ice cream~

There's this quaint little shop that we always walked past during lunch at Shaw. Outside of the shop stood a chalk board that exclaims exotic flavors such as "Red Date & Longan Ice Cream", "Plum Ice Cream" etc. The flavor of this month is "Wasabi Lime".

So finally today we went into the shop to try. It was a nice surprise that we can sample any ice-cream that we like before we even buy anything. Tried the wasabi lime and its actually quite good! Refreshing, I would say.

But as usual, I'd go for the safe stuffs. I had Chocolate and Coffee (you can mix 2 flavors! How nice, hor) The others tried the Wasabi Lime and Mango, Chocolate Banana and Coffee, and Oreo Cheesecake and Vanilla. The price is $2.80 for small cup. But they'd fill up to the brim and the ice-cream is actually quite the sticky type like gelato!

I give the chocolate flavor, the highest vote in terms of taste. Rich and slightly bitter.. very good, very nice. Tasted a little of the oreo cheesecake flavor.. quite nice and good for those who prefer their ice-cream sweeeet. The coffee flavor, would come in second in terms of aroma, but the taste is not as good as the chocolate. Chocolate banana... hmmm.. not for me.

If you're there, you can look for Eunice. She's super friendly and you can talk to her about any ice-cream flavor that you would like to see on the menu. She did mention that coming flavors would be Durian and Black Sesame!



ps: the shop's name is Tom's Pallete.. didn't ask about Tom though...so i dunno who's Tom
pps: ahah! we've asked about Tom, and this Tom is a common friend of Eunice and the other co-owner of the shop, who has been contributing ideas and honest feedback to them
