Just between you and me, I think Ben & Jerry’s makes the best ice cream in the whole world! I recently paid a visit to its outlet at Dempsey Hill and had a really enjoyable time eating ice cream at the “ranch”.
Most Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops can be identified by their cutesy decor, with cloudscapes, meadows and cow print murals decorating the walls. You would find that this particular Ben & Jerry’s outlet sports a different theme. It resembles an American ranch home rather than a café!
Diners can choose to sit in different areas. For example, there is a loft area, a living room (that looks like central perk from friends!), kitchen, playroom, and even a cosy fireplace!
My, doesn’t that cushy armchair look inviting?
In fact, the homely feel and wooden furniture reminds me very much of Ma Maison, a cottage-themed restaurant I had visited a few months ago.
I love this street sign!
Food orders are placed fast-food style. You simply queue up at the counter and pick your choice of ice cream flavour, cone and yummy toppings!
I went for the chocolate chip cookie dough flavour with lots and lots of colourful mini m&m’s and rainbow sprinkles! What a load of sugar and calories! But it was a delightful treat all right.
This Ben & Jerry’s outlet also houses CA California, a deli that sells salads, sandwiches, soups and pastas, under the same roof. So whether you’re looking for something to fill your stomach, or a nice dessert after a hearty meal at one of the nearby restaurants, this is the place for you.

OMG, that place looks really cool…you’ll really feel like you are in some ranch, watching the cows go by …can’t wait to pop by there for my regular fix of desserts! Now, you’ve got me dreaming of Chunky Monkey, Phish Food and rum and raisin on a boring workday! *Drool* Dempsey has really added some great places to their stable of restaurants and wine bars. Plus a spa there, you can literally spend one day there.

wow, this is one best looking cosy cafes i’ve ever seen!
the furnitures and ambience feels like marche
and for a moment i thought you did another review on Danga Bay, as the big big “Dempsey Hill” signboard looks almost similar …

Joyz: I love Chunky Monkey too!!! Haven’t tried Phish Food before but it sounds cute! Oh by the way, there are already a few spas there!
Jayson: Yeah you are right! I see the resemblance, with both signs starting with “D” and in blue block letters.

Looks absolutely calorie-rich – the kind that will go right to your tummy, thighs and upper arms. Haha… Gorgeous photographs though. I think as a counter to your blog, I should perhaps review gyms, running tracks, swimming pools and other ways to burn off that Sparklette-induced flab! Not that you have any though….

Never underestimate Ben & Jerry’s ice-creams! I polished off one tub while I was doing night duty in the office once! I dare say it is probably one of the few things that can cause the ladies in my office to suspend their calorie counting, and indulge!
I probably would stuff myself with it every day; now if only I have the budget to blow the calorie bank!

Walter: Haha I think you’ll be the first blogger to review sports facilities. It’ll be a niche!
And you are too kind la. My fats are there, getting more visible by the day! If you ever get your gym blog going I would start hitting one of your recommendations!
pkchukiss: Heehee Ben & Jerry are evil! Their ice cream is so sinful and addictive, they make people like us weak in the knees and just indulge with no restraint. You want it, but you know you shouldn’t have it! It’s so baaad (yet good at the same time)!

Hey the signpost “Dempsey Hill” looks like the “Danga Bay” one you posted earlier. Think they are from the same maker!

Hi Veron
Firstly, welcome back to Sunny Singapore!
I must say that one of the many reasons I keep coming back to your website is due to the yummy places u been to. And of course they happen to be the kind i like – case in point – Ben & Jerry’s!!! I do agree that they are one of the best in the world. =)
Another reason why ur webbie’s great because u give your readers wat they want. U thot it thru when u designed your webbie and when u post your entries. u give us options to receive followups to comments, chance to email the post to our frenz, possibly related posts, printing options, etc
I love it when u put down details of the place u visited…like address, website addy, contact details; veri useful!
Thanks for thinking of us and doing that for us. Not many bloggers do.
Oh, and I mentioned before…I love it that u post pics and they are nicely composed too!
