Yes, Cold Rock Ice Creamery is now available in Singapore! It is located at Holland Village and you should go down and try it. Well, I still did not yet have a taste of this supposedly superb style of ice cream (hey I am a busy man), but I am glad it is finally here. Singapore’s Ice Cream scene is pathetic, and I hope that competition and awareness will improve it. I mean, look at the hot weather of Singapore. Ice Cream should be a staple diet for all Singaporeans, but instead we neglect it and eat the crap Walls “Ice Cream”, half of which comes way too frozen even for us to bite. I want to eat the ice cream not ice block. Everytime I see someone eating Walls Ice Cream, I have to resist the urge to go and smack them hard in the face.
Okay, enough of my Walls bitching, we are here to talk about Cold Rock Ice Creamery. Basically, Ice Cream Chefs took the idea of mixing different variety of ice cream flavors and ingredients like nuts, cookies, candy, sweets and even fruits together from them. So, you get to choose a few flavors and choose your “mix-in” and let their staff mix them into a blend for you. Currently they have 35 flavors (like bubblegum, Tia Maria, Caramel mud cake and Honeycomb) for you to choose from and 49 “mix-in”s. You will have to let your imagination and creativity wild to enjoy all the different combinations! Not to mention, the hole that will be left in your pocket.
On their website, they have a little video showing how their ice cream is mixed if you are interested. Anyway, I don’t think it is difficult to do. All you have to do is get a rather creamy ice cream or two, add some candy or whatever, and then stir them around. The trick is the Ice Cream. If you have those made by Walls, then either you have to use a hammer or you will to wait till it starts to melt which would be yacky. But I guess most Singaporeans don’t have the time or even the energy to do all the mixing so this should attract quite a crowd. They also serve shakes, ice cream cakes, waffles and smoothies at their shop. Ahhh…..me love ice cream. Yum yum.
Too cold for icecream here now. But I can imagine your side of the world must sell icecreams like hot cakes in a snowstorm!
Yes indeed. Freaking freaking warm weather we have. Well, most of the time anyways. Just a few weeks ago, there was a great rain that doesn’t stop for 4-5 days. Nearly caused a big flood here. But luckily, the weather went back to normal.
Must make a killing selling umbrellas there too, I’d imagine!
Surprisingly, most Singaporeans don’t have umbrellas! They will be more willing to stand and wait till the rain stops before they do anything. Lazy slogs.
