• 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!
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!
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!
S$6.50++

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!

This looks like an interesting place, and it is just about 20 minutes bus-ride from my home.

Hi!
Thanks for another cool recommendation. I will check it out!
There are also a few other places to check out fer those with the sweet tooth! :)
-As mentioned by others, Island Creamery @Serene Ctr – The texture of the ice-cream’s good! and it’s local! sum of the
flavours are also unique and local and service’s cheerful and friendly. I also like the idea of capturing that Island Creamery moment and printing it immediately via their blueprint enabled printer fer immediate display.
-There’s this place in AMK, the name’s ‘magic freeze’, just outside the Shop n Save. The guy’s a NUS Food Sci grad making the ice cream. Texture’s good too and your fave flavours are there. He’s currently concocting an ice-cream suitable fer diabetics. oh, and it’s a very reasonable price too!
-Lastly, THE ICE CREAM sensation from… no, not the States (not Ben & Jerry’s) BUT from Down Under. The phenomenon that is Cold Rock! Is now opened @HV. They are currently giving out free toppings. Their USP is that u choose the wide range of toppings they have and they mix it into the ice-cream flavour u chose, thus creating your very own ice-cream!
-opps…and i like to mention that Azabo ice cream @Marina Sq/Central is nice too. I love the Green Tea flvr!
