Seventh Heaven – Heavenly Ice Cream

Rating:

By Veron Ang

Over the past couple of years ice cream cafés have begun popping up in Singapore and entering our hearts. Many double as ice creameries, with ice cream that is freshly made in-house. It’s always fun when creativity muscles are flexed as each one comes up with their own unique flavours. Fancy the cutesy blueberry cheesecake, or the local delight teh tarik freddo, anyone? Well, the newest ice cream maker to bring cold relief to our hot island is seventh heaven.

Seventh Heaven

Unlike your average casual ice cream parlour, seventh heaven differentiates itself by targeting the more mature market. After all, as adults we never really outgrow ice cream, do we?

Alcohol = good. Ice cream = good. What happens when you couple the two? That’s exactly what seventh heaven offers. Alcoholic ice cream! There’s something about it that sounds really seductive and makes me all tingly and excited to have it. But I think that’s just me :)

Liquor ice cream is one tricky business; it melts so quickly! By the time I finished taking my shots (photographs, not the drinks), some of the ice cream has slightly melted, as you can see from the first two on the platter above. Those are the ones containing liquor.

The lychee martini is my favourite of the lot. It’s got that slight alcoholic taste and of course the refreshing lychee flavour. Likewise for the chocolate and whiskey ice cream, you can definitely taste the whiskey. The chocolate by the way is rich and satisfying. Chocolate and liquor just taste lovely together. It’s been tried and tested and is exactly why Royce’ chocolate is so heavenly!

The other chocolate ice cream above is chocolate and coffee crunch, also an excellent combination. Chocolate and coffee lovers are so gonna love this. The Arabica coffee beans are crushed so you can actually taste the crunchy bits! Nice!!

Warm and Soft Chocolate Cake

For something warm, go for the soft chocolate cake. Unlike my favourite lava cake that has luscious molten chocolate oozing out from the centre, this one is slightly different. It doesn’t have the molten chocolate, although the cake is still warm and moist at the centre. Most importantly, it is very chocolatey and delicious, and is served with French vanilla ice cream.

I couldn’t exactly appreciate the French vanilla flavour here. I guess I was looking for the good ol’ vanilla ice cream, whereas French vanilla has a very different fragrance.

Affogato

The affogato is an instant pick-me-up, with a strong shot of espresso and the same French vanilla ice cream. The plate they use here is really cute by the way. It features a cup holder too.

I highly recommend the hot chocolate as well, which is by far the richest and thickest chocolate drink I’ve ever had. And that’s saying a lot as it includes max brenner’s glorious hot chocolate. It’s almost like drinking molten chocolate!

Ready to go to seventh heaven? It’s not just an expression anymore. The location is somewhat remote at the marketing institute of Singapore. But for people that don’t drive, there is a shuttle service from outram park.

Wow, the ice-cream plus your description sure looks yummy… Did you take public transport or you drove in as this place seems so inaccessible? If so, was the walk in long?
Btw, what cammie are you using? Still the Cannon Ixus? Nice pics… like the blue hue…

lala: You’re in luck! They do have an Irish Cream Liqueur flavour on the menu — a combination of vanilla and Irish Whiskey!
Bernard: You have sharp eyes!
Fen: Oh we took the shuttle bus! It brought us right to the main lobby where Seventh Heaven is. I’m using the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50. It’s waaay overdue for an upgrade but I’m too stingy to get a better cammie!
Sihan: You are most welcome :)

Oh, I didn’t know that…
May I know where do you take the shuttle bus and how often is the frequency? Is there anywhere I can check for the bus schedule?

Call me a country bumpkin but I have never heard of alcoholic icecream before. Alcoholic chocolates are already so popular. Wonder if alcoholic icecream would catch up?

Fen: Sure! You can refer to the shuttle bus schedule from the MIS website for the exact bus stop and timings.
Melissa: I sure hope to find more alcoholic ice cream parlors. This is the first I’ve come across but I’m sure there are a few more out there that we don’t know of. Imagine a tequila rose ice cream flavour!

Thank you for the introduction of the place and the map included in this entry. If not I wouldn’t be able to find the place so easily. 7th Heaven’s ice-cream is great and its definitely worth making the trip in…

Thanks for the recommendation! Their ice-cream is fantastic! Will definitely go again!
But had a hard time finding the shuttle bus though.. For those without cars, the bus stop for the shuttle bus service is at exit F of Outram Park station (There are 8 exits there) -_-

Hi Veron, nice site. That picture of Schloss Neuschwanstein really caught my attention. I was stuck in that castle 5 years ago past closing time and had to be “rescued” by the local police. haha. Anyway, the ice cream reviews are nice. =)

  That sounds like an adventure! Must have been exciting to be alone in an old and massive castle like that. Haha :)
