Cafe Review: Tom's Palette

Tom's Palette ice cream started out in 2005 and since then, they has been improving and serving us better. They always come out with new flavors to surprise us!!

They has such unique flavors as, Salted egg yolk, chocolate stout and many more..

Me:

Granny Flavourites x Milk Ice Cream -

Granny flavourites consist of chocolate, gummy and other ingredients. If you are a sweet tooth person you will definitely love it.

Milk Ice cream -

Milky, creamy, and it has walnut in it.

Her:

Matcha x Chocolate Sorbet -

The matcha flavor was strong and flavorful. Matcha lover will surely love it. Chocolate sorbet was chocolatey, freezy and addictive.

JB Cafe Review: Koone x Kate N I Scream

KOONE started its soft opening on 12th November 2015 and I decided to visit them over the weekend. The softserve parlour is few doors step away from TIP, The Ice-Cream Project. The competition heat just gets hotter along Jalan Dhoby with the hipster café.

Painted in bright neon pink colour with a huge swinging door at the entrance machiam like some big hotels, the double storeys building boosted a huge and brightly lited interior, splashed with bright colours and grey walls.

Upon entering, you will see the counter where the staffs are in action and cashier counter near to the staircase. Orders and payments are made at the counter and the staff will provide a block with number as reference to be placed on the table.

Their menu is simple and straightforward and quite similar to Via Tokyo in terms of the softserve serving.

M Cold Brew - RM 10

Ordered their iced coffee and try. I was really regretted order it as the coffee wasn't up to my expectation. The coffee aroma was very light and it was lacking of the coffee body.

Taste: 0.25/5

66% Dark Chocolate - RM 14

It comes with the liquid nitrogen that lasts for approximately 30 seconds. Indeed an instagram-worthy soft-serve I would say. It was rich, creamy and smooth chocolate and not overly bitter even though it could be a little icy sometimes. Pretty worth the price for the gimmick and the treat.

Taste: 4/5

French Vanilla -RM 10

The french vanilla was even better!! The vanilla aroma was very strong and it enhance the taste of the ice cream.

Taste: 4.5/5

Overall, I would say the soft serves here are served in interesting ways to enhance the visual satisfaction. The soft serves are creamy and delectable.

This cafe name caught our attention. So we decided to give it a try before heading back to Singapore. The cafe also sell croissants, hamburger, pizza, snacks from tea and coffee drinks. There are many little monster doll shop decoration, to allow customers to be accompanied by props used during the self-timer or photo.

Ice cream display bar -

Topping to choose from -

Iced Peach Tea - RM 7.90

I was recommended by their staff, their iced peach tea was the hot seller drink over at the cafe. I decided to give it a try!! The tea aroma was there same as the peach aroma but it wasn't too overwhelmed. It was really good.

Taste: 3.25/5

Ice Cream Set - RM 25.90

It came with 4 scoop of ice cream, 2 flavors to choose, and 2 toppings.

We chooses earl grey and Yam ice cream along with hello panda and cereal toppings. The earl grey aroma was strong but not for the Yam flavor ice cream. The ice cream was creamy and rich but it wasn't good enough compare to KOONE.

Taste: 1.5/5

Ambiance: 4/5
Service 4/5

Overall, the ice cream was very normal but it was a pretty good place to chill as it was very cosy and quiet.

Cafe Review: Oblong

Oblong, is a cafe that mainly serves ice cream, waffle and pastries that is situated at the Serangoon Garden region. This small ice cream shop is very crowded during weekend nights. Their specialty is certainly the Red velet waffles with ice cream.

Rest room behind the wall. LOL

Red Velvet waffle with 2 scoop of ice cream - $10.30 Nett

Waffles are crispy and chewy with a little beetroot taste. Cheese are spread in between the waffles which make the waffles taste sweeter. The ice cream flavor, Coconut and Earl Grey Lavender. The ice cream was creamy, smooth and fragrance.

Taste: 3.5/5

Cafe Review: Alfero Artisan Gelato, J.CO Donuts & Coffee, My Sister Bakes

Alfero Artisan Gelato aims to bring to Singapore the real experience of homemade Italian gelato produced with the best quality of imported ingredients and freshness and taste guaranteed. It is designed and catered to the market with a whole unique taste of authentic Italian products with quality assured.

Marco Alfero was a Finance Manager in the semiconductor industry for more than 10 years. As a kid, he has always love eating gelato and would even eat gelato like a regular meal. He still loves eating gelato and has always dreamed of becoming a gelato chef. After being in the corporate world for 15 years, Alfero has decided to pursue his dream and take on a professional approach to fulfil his passion. He opened his first gelato cafe in Marina Square. His other retail shop in MacPherson Lane (which is also a laboratory where the gelato is freshly made) was opened a month later.

Latte - $5.50

The coffee was pretty good if you enjoy bitter coffee.

Yuzu (Japan Pomelo) - $4.50 Single scoop

One of my favorite sorbet. The Yuzu sorbet was light, refreshing, sweet-sour and has a icy citrus flavours.

Mango -

The taste was similar to Yuzu sorbet. But the mango was more sour and the mango aroma was stronger.

Brownie with Gelato - $6

The brownie wasn't that good. The brownie was too dry and it wasn't flavorful enough. The Pistachio gelato was sweet, delicate and aromatic.

Avocado Gelato

The avocado gelato was good too. It was aromatic, creamy, milky, and wasn't that sweet too.

Food: 3.75/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Service: 4/5

Overall, the gelato was really good. It can be one of your after meal dessert or having your sweet craving fix. The ambiance over at Marina Square outlet was good, it was quiet, cozy and relaxing. The service staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Hardly met a good service staff for awhile.
There are having a 1 for 1 Coffee promotion, simply just order any 2 types/cup of coffee and they will charge the highest amount.

Thai Iced Tea - $5.50

The Thai iced tea was just average. The tea aroma wasn't strong enough and it was quite tasteless.

Yogurt - $5.50

The yogurt was good. The ingredients portion was very generous. It was full of fruits and sauce in the middle section. The yogurt was icy, creamy but wasn't flavorful enough.

Choco Loco - $1.50

The donuts was good. This donuts has a double layer of chocolate. The top layer of chocolate was creamy, think, sweet, and chocolaty. Middle layer of chocolate was hard and bitter. The dough texture was soft, spongy and chewy. The combination of two different type of chocolate was good.

Almond Chocolate - $1.50

It was good, the almond was crunch and goes well with chocolate syrup.

Food: 3.5/5
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 0/5

Overall, the food was good. The ambiance at suntec city outlet was quiet, cozy and relaxing. It was very quiet even on the weekend. The service was super bad over at Suntec city outlet, the service staff was rude, impatient and giving us the angry face. Wanted to complaint about it but is okay.

My Sister Bakes is the labor of love of both Isaac and Esther. Having been around almost 1.5 years doing just customized cakes, they have decided to expand into a cafe to create more happy tummies with both cakes and coffee.

Latte - $5.50

The latte wasn't that good. The coffee was quite acidic, bland and coffee aroma not strong.

Earl Grey Cake - $5.50 Per slice

The earl grey cream was just have the right amount of sweet, not too sweet, not too bland, and the earl grey aroma was strong. The cake texture was soft and spongy but the taste wise was a little bit bland.

Milo Cake - $5.50 Per Slice

The milo cake was pretty bad. The milo aroma wasn't strong and it was too sweet for my liking. The cake texture same as the above.

Food: 1.5/5
Ambiance: 2.5/5
Service: 4/5

Overall, the cake was pretty okay, and it worth a try.
