Icekimo – Eat Like an Eskimo!

Rating:

By Veron Ang

For Part 2 of our dessert-tasting excursion (Part 1), we visit Icekimo, an ice creamery and café just off Upper Thomson Road. Ever had pasta with the Ferrero Rocher chocolate in it? No? Well, read on!

Ice cream cones

Decked out entirely in hues of girlish pink and white, this cute little place provides a bright and cheery spark to the otherwise lackluster Sin Ming Centre.

Cute cartoon characters of Eskimos, penguins and seals adorn the walls and glass windows. One cannot help but feel young in this cheery café!

Indulge in the dessert while sitting in these sweet little white armchairs!

All ice cream here is freshly made in-house with lots of love, reduced fats and sugar. Actual fruits are used to make the fruity flavours, including mango, durian, chempedak and strawberry.

Besides eating out of cups, you have the choice of crunchy waffle cones or waffle bowls. Of course, there is also a range of toppings to choose from. My favourite is the colourful rainbow sprinkles!

Ice cream toppings

You can discover some unconventional ice cream flavours here. There’s the Blueberry Cheesecake! Yum!

Ever licked bandung (milk flavoured with rosewater) or teh tarik (“pulled” tea) before? Yes, I said “licked”! Well, you can now! These, plus Nutella with Hazelnut, Horlicks with Malteses and Dino Milo are some of their most unusual flavours. Ever a fan of the popular Milo Dinosaur drink, I fell in love with Dino Milo the instant I had it on my tongue!

They even have meatball pasta! Or is it really? Look again!

Well, this is yet another thoughtful creation! Chocolate Rocher meatballs! The tomato sauce is strawberry syrup! And get this — the spaghetti is made entirely out of vanilla ice cream! Didn’t see that coming did ya? It is the single most sinful pasta I’ve ever had! But with the Rocher chocolate, I have no complaints!

Obviously I’m not the only one who’s a fan. Check out all these colourful notes left behind by customers! A couple of these have really cute messages.

The next time you’re in the area, be sure to drop by for some dessert! I’m sure you would leave it feeling cheery for the rest of the day.

The Rocher spaghetti is a definite must-try!

OMG… the Spaghetti Ice Cream looks so good! It really looks like real spaghetti. Nice one!
Yeah, looks like a nice place to bring a lady for after-dinner chit chat / dessert. ;)

The Spaghetti Ice Cream is a wonder!
This place looks cute and youthful — great for young people to hang out. But because the setting is so casual, it isn’t exactly the kind of place you would want to bring a date. Just my two cents.

Whoa! You Singaporeans really seem to eat well. Love the spaghetti ice cream. Looks like it might be too sweet though. Like, that ‘cheap’ sweet.
Veron, you’ve got to eat in Japan!

I thought Eskimos eat Seals’ blubber. Oh well…. probably watched too much Discovery Channel.

Hey babe, if you like ice-cream with new and interesting flavours, try Tom’s Palette at Beach Road. Also quite yummy. =)
It’s been years since I’ve seen you! Maybe we can meet up for lunch one day… oh ya, come see my play ok? Email me if you’re interested!

O_o vanilla pasta. Looks quite like the real thing to me.
Here in Canada, the term ‘eskimo’ is less used as it is considered a pejorative. To be politically correct, we use the Inuit people. Then again, there is a football team named the Eskimos… >_<

Honored? As I am!
The design (logo, etc) is super cute. Seems kind of contempo Japanese in feel. Do Singaporeans take design cues from abroad?
Not the kind of place to go on a date? I’d let you take me there!

xxoos: Really? I have never heard of spaghetti ice cream before this. Those kids sure have it good!
Zelnox: Interesting. Over here, everyone learns the term “eskimo” in primary school (elementary level). Eskimos live in igloos. Red Indians live in teepees. Stuff like that.
Michael Baxter: Actually, there are many things in Singapore that have drawn influence from the Japanese. Kawaii-looking products and knick-knacks are all the rage. Kids these days attempt to follow the Japanese fashion, be it in clothes or hairstyles. Cosplay is catching on too. And it’s not just fashion. Food. Malls. Also Japanese drama series, they have been showing on our TV channels for years.

Ah! As expected, the Japanese are taking over Singapore too! LOL! I’ve really got to come over there and try some of that ice cream! Most excellent brand! Do you know that Japanese manga is a ‘transnational object’? (WTFTM)
