Raffles Creamery Part 2

i finally got my craving settled this evening. after a short run, i headed to Raffles City shopping centre. i needed to have my eyebrow pencil sharpened which took 15 mins, which then lead me to walk into agnes b store whilst waiting where some smallish wallets caught my eye. i am still contemplating if i should get one which i finally narrowed down.


anyway after that, i headed straight to RC. had to wait for 5 mins before the staff appeared. took me quite sometime to decide which flavour to order, i finally decided to order thai tea with brownie and macadamia nuts. this time i asked if the staff was going to teppanyaki my ice cream and condiments and she said yes. i was excited.


the staff Shoda, was really chatty and it was fun talking to her. she was scraping ice off the cold marble and was telling me that the small area was kept cool with 3 aircon, it's almost freezing. she even asked if i wanted to go inside. i then further tried my luck by asking her if i can try my hand at the teppanyaki and she was polite enough to tell me cannot.


anyway, i stayed out of the area and videoed the whole process of her teppanyaking my ice cream and at the same time chatting to her. she told me that actually it's not easy to do it coz the cold marble really hardens the ice cream so to 'fold' with the condiments is actually quite tough. things can really go worse if it's a busy day. so as we chatted my eyes were glued to what she was doing. it was quite interesting.

the end product

check out the amount of condiment in a mouthful

she was also really generous with the ice cream, brownie and the macadamia nuts. i had much much more that i have the other time when i visited!! i actually felt the whole combi became too jelat, couldnt even finish it. hmm.. maybe it's the combi, coz i can't exactly taste the thai tea, but every mouthful is filled with brownie and macadamia. i think i can siam ice cream for a couple of weeks or maybe the next time i try, i should order those more refreshing and lighter ones.


in any case, my $5.90 was well worth it! i even ask Shoda when's her next work shift, i think i will visit when she's working again!! :D

craving ~ ~

i'm craving for ice cream. particularly the ice cream from Raffles Creamery. Hmm.. this was after the topic of ice cream was being brought up at the below 35 table during CNYE dinner. actually i already had the craving yesterday, just that i was lazy to make any moves.


so i just went to surf the site and saw that it's open daily worr.. hmm.. i wonder if it's worth making the trip tomorrow. hmm.. quoting from the site:


'Every creation is a work of art. Have our ice-cream "artists" entertain you as they whip up your chosen combinations on cold marble, teppanyaki-style. The result - smooth, creamy ice cream blended with your choice of mix-ins for your enjoyment.'


the one i ordered the other day wasn't teppanyaki-ed leh.. damn, kenar conned by the apnn at work that day?


tmr if i go down, i make sure it's teppanyaki for me.

Raffles Creamery

i finally succumbed to temptation and headed to Raffles Hotel after topping up my MRT card to get my pina colada ice cream. was having sms exchanges with Cece coz she was in town shopping and i asked her if she wanted to meet me for ice cream. hmm.. she needed to get new bedsheets, so she skipped ice cream. anyway, we are going to meet jenn and ann for dinner @ double bay tomorrow so i guess we'd still catch up somehow.


as for the ice cream.. well, i can only say SHIOK!!! the pina colada ice cream was flavourful, had sufficient amount of milkiness, smooth and i could actually taste the coconut when i put the ice cream into my mouth and more than that, i got a tinge of sourness of the pineapple. it was a good mix and one of the better ice cream i have had recently.

can't see the ice cream right?
Coz it's all covered by the condiments!! yum yum!!

another thing to add is the generous serving of the condiments. for the price of additional $1, you get to choose two types of condiments. they have a whole list, i chose granola and macadamia nut!! the granola was very crispy and give good texture to every bite i took. together with the macadamia nut, it was good combi! nothing to complain about except the raisins in the granola mix. they were too tough to bite!! the first raisin got stuck on my molars and i nearly cannot remove it. it was quite bad. i havent ate such a hard raisin in my life!! i was like.. WTF?!


so other than that i enjoyed my ice cream thoroughly. i'd prolly go back and try other flavours whenever i head to cityhall MRT station to top up my card. hmm.. that is almost like a weekly trip but it's cool i really don't mind man!
