Ice Edge Cafe

We started with some light bites, one of which was the Calamari Fritti (SGD$12.80) - battered squid rings deep fried till a crispy golden brown. These squid rings were surprisingly good, giving the palate a beautiful contrast of crackling exterior giving way to succulent, chewy flesh within.There was another starter of Buffalo Wings (SGD$9.80) - deep fried chicken wings with Ice Edge's own secret spicy herb sauce. The wings were rather well done with crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. The secret spicy herb sauce penetrated the wings very well too, giving it a very delectable flavor that piques the senses instantly.I had the Fish and Chips (SGD$16.90) which was pretty common fare consisting of crumbly battered exterior and soft, smooth interior. The fries were pretty common shoestring fries as well.For full review and more detailed information, please feel free to visit:http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2015/05/lunch-at-ice-edge-cafe-kovan-revisit.html…查看更多

The friend and I popped over to Ice Edge Cafe with the intention of trying out their interesting-flavored lava cakes - one being Mao Shan Wang (durian) and one being the Rum Chocolate. Unfortunately, we were informed that the latter is no longer being served at all, even though it is still listed on their menu.Non-fazed, we decided to try other items since we had made it all the way here. Ice Edge Cafe boosts of a rather warm setting in its orange and black hues, rather much a stark contrast to its name. The tables are situated rather close to each other, and the service is rather slow / irresponsive contrary to their "friendly service" belief on the website. But to be fair, please note that Ice Edge Cafe does not charge service charge.Their Gelato counter is marvelous though - very colorful assortment of uniquely-flavored ice-creams starting at SGD$3.75 a scoop. There were so many flavors we were spoilt for choice, and took some time to choose from the range of exotic flavors such as hazelnut coffee, chocolate brownie, salted egg yolk, yuzu, lychee martini, rose corn, etc.Known for its unique flavors and sauces created from scratch, and proclaimed "great food" , we decided to try a Crab Bisque (SGD$8.50) and on their "Best Seller" list, even though we had taken our lunch elsewhere. The rather creamy soup was rich in a smooth fashion, gliding silkily past the tongue with tinge of sweetness and slivers of (frozen) crab meat scattered on top of the piping hot soup. It wasn't fantastic, but passable.he signature Mao Shan Wang (durian) Lava Cake (SGD$14.80) was what we had next, and one of the items we had come here specially for. The "lava cake" was more like a durian puff, and the lava had already flowed out when they served it to us. There was no durian fragrance in smell or taste, disappointingly - I'd tried lovelier durian desserts for sure. The scoop of Chocolate Brownie gelato we'd selected on the side was rather delicious - rich and creamy with chunks of nuts and brownie bits in it.For more detailed information and photos, please feel free to check out:http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2014/07/tea-break-at-ice-edge-cafe-kovan.html…查看更多

Had a an awesome night with my girls in the cafe.  Went there for dinner while waiting for the reservation at lola's cafe. Reached at around 7 on a Wednesday night. Surprisingly it is not very crowded. Cozy ambience. A good place for heart to heart ❤️ Ice crem flavour tried: -Earl grey- Mao shan wang- pulat Hitam- Bailey'sService was rather slow, afterall it does not have service charge. Overall quite a worth😊…查看更多

Good:- Delicious and flavourful pasta- Tasty and wide variety of ice cream flavours- Self-service iced water at the sideNot-so-good:- Shortage of service staff makes getting their attention difficult at times- Shortage of parking around that area. May have to park over at the nearby mall and walk 5-10min to the cafeOverall:The food taste good. That is what brings the crowd over to the cafe time after time! Would recommend to friends!…查看更多

Food quality is great and tasty. I had the Double Pork Chop, it has satay sauce as the gravy. The taste is quite okay for my taste, not too strong not too mild.However, the food portion is too small. I cannot even feel a thing in my stomach. Money for value wise, I would say Ashton's or chargrill are better.Service wise is really poor. Pressing the call button does not get the attention of the waiters. Even calling out to then would take quite a while to respond when there are not much customers.…查看更多

Finally I get to try Ice Edge Cafe!! Had read alots of review about their waffles is nice... Situated right behind Kovan MRT Station, close to the round-about, Ice Edge cafe has become a dessert/supper place..."Mix & Match" Waffle --> The waffle is thick plus is crispy...Still, the two scoops of ice-cream save the dish!! Here, we ordered Mao San Wang, Yuzu, Lychee Martini & Gingerbread flavours...The taste (except for gingerbread flavour, super duper bitter which we can't take it) is rich and makes me felt like going for another round of ice-cream!!Overall, a good place to hang out having their Ice-cream!! …查看更多

Every time I head to Ice Edge Cafe, I settle for the same thing - Aglio Olio and a Belgium Dark Chocolate Gelato. This time, I had a quick lunch and tried something new (to me). The Crab Bisque was thick with a generous amount of shredded crab meat blended in and over the top -- A bowl just so comforting on that cold rainy day. While the Salmon Baked Rice didn't look like much, underneath that crusted cheese was a pretty satisfactory mix of rice and baked salmon, which was moist enough so that a spoonful of cheese, rice and salmon harmonized well.For dessert, we tried the Lava Cake (but I'll be back for their infamous waffles). The thing I appreciate about Ice Edge Cafe is their unwavering standard and attention to details like this. The Lava Cake took a while to prepare and although the chocolate didn't ooze out as much as I'd hoped, the taste was pretty phenomenal. You get to choose the flavour of Gelato that comes with the Lava Cake, so we chose one that would pair well with the immense load of chocolate on the other side of the plate - Cookies & Cream. A good choice we made, I must say.…查看更多

Whenever outing with friends for sweet snacks, Ice Edge was the one always came across my mind. Casual dining concept, it was considered a Fusion Restaurant with serving of Western-Italian cuisine in basic, of course included yummy desserts. Freshly-made waffle in the town, we had crispy on outlay and fluffy texture within. $14.50 for maddeningly ice-cream, it was served in two scoops and we shared. Their dessert undeniably fared pretty well, you should never miss their promotion on-going too. Simply spending more than $150.00 within one month, you will be entitled a free membership. Sounded cool!…查看更多

Got a coffee and a basket of potato wedges while i while time away pending an appointment later in the evening. Coffee was not remarkable but it was quite a big cup as compared to most cafés. Potato wedges arrived swiftly after. looks golden brown and sizzling hot. but bite into it and you realised that they could hv cooked it longer. some parts were still raw :(However, service staff were very polite and helpful. …查看更多

Our group of 12 decided on this place for a gathering on a Saturday afternoon. I wanted to try many items and yet have room for dessert, so I ended up pinching food from my friends' mains instead of ordering one for myself hehehe...Iced Lemon Tea - $3.80The iced lemon tea was good as you can really taste the good quality tea used in the drink and the sweetness was just right - recommended!Spaghetti Carbonara - $14.80The spaghetti carbonara's sauce was really creamy and tasty with lots of bacon bits within. Quite nice.Fish N Chips - $14.80The fish n chips was rather good too. The batter was thin and crispy and the meat within was fresh. Double Pork Chop - $15.80I feel the double pork chop was quite worth the price, as two huge slabs were given. The meat was rather tender too.Pesto Cream Chicken - $17.80The pesto cream chicken was quite the favourite among my friends as quite a number of them ordered it. The chicken was tender and the pesto cream sauce was delicious.On to the desserts.....Mao Shan Wang Lava Cake - $14.80The mao shan wang lava cake was special because of the durian "lava" oozing out. However, I felt that there was not enough of the durian filling within. $14.80 was also quite pricey for a rather small piece of cake, even though it came with a scoop of ice cream of your choice.Chocolate Lava Cake - $12.80The chocolate lava cake fared a bit better, for there was more chocolate sauce oozing out. However, I felt that perhaps better quality chocolate could have been used.Waffle with 2 scoops of ice cream - $14.50The waffle was crispy and went well with the ice cream. We got to try quite a few flavours of ice cream due to the several desserts we ordered. They were generally ok, not exactly fantastically good though. A chocolate-based ice cream is a better bet. I liked the premium yuzu ice cream but my hubby found it to be a bit weird-tasting due to the particular fragrance from the yuzu and also that it was a bit too sweet.…查看更多

Last week, I was just discussing with my friend on where to find the best gelato around and he recommended me to a place near Kovan that is call Ice Edge Cafe. Located on the ground floor along the walkway of Simon Plaza with indoor and alfresco sitting, this is a popular place for students and families to unwind on a weekday evening.The interior is very welcoming with the warm, orange, cozy setting with setting with low-hanging lamps and contrasting dark flooring and chair. It give it a homely, classy feel yet keeping the tone of the atmosphere casual. The seating space is very spacious too with huge sitting capacity to accommodate from couples to big groups of 8 to 10 paxs.Over at the Gelato counter, the chiller display seems really attractive with bright and vibrant colours, showcasing their huge range of gelatos from classic vanilla ones to different variants of chocolate to fruity range and even alcohol infused ones. Looks great but I was turned off by the rude foreigner staff who gave me a cold look I asked to try a few flavours before making my order. After 2 times, she pretended not to hear me anymore and ignored me. Only when I am ready to make my order, she took my orders.I had 2 scoops of gelato, a Peach Yogurt (Normal - $3.20/scoop) and another Kiwi Lime (Premium - $4.80/scoop) which cost me not only $8 but it took me by surprise that they charge 7% GST to their gelato toos, so the total cost was a whopping $8.56 for that tiny cup! Having paid that much, I expected their gelato to be fantastic but to my disappointment, it melted quickly and for the Kiwi Lime flavour, the taste of kiwi was very mild as the sourness of lime has overwhelmed the nice sweet, tangy touch of kiwi. On the other hand, I find the Peach Yogurt flavour only average and the taste of peach was only decent and not fragrant enough. Having such low standard, it is very ridiculous that their gelato cost much more than other premium Italian gelato places like Alfreo Gelato which is cheaper and better. Not really enjoying what I had, my friend recommended that I try their signature Mao Shan Wang Lava Cake ($13.80) which is said to be their signature. Indeed, cutting the soft fluffing layer of the Lava Cake open, decadent hot durian paste oozed out. It was a sight to behold as it was my first time having such a dessert. Durian flavour was really awesome and delectable with a smooth, milky texture. A scoop of vanilla ice-cream was served next to it and when eaten together with the hot durian lava, it was simply so luscious and heavenly!Although I came and was disappointed with the gelato and saddened by their poor service, their Mao Shan Wang Lava Cake won my heart and I left happy after that. I may visit this place again if my friend is driving me here because getting to Simon Plaza is not really convenient by public transport.…查看更多

Was craving for some sweet stuff after our dinner, so my wife and i decided to drop by Ice Edge Cafe for dessert. Everything was fine until when our order was mixed up with another table. They served our waffle to the table beside us. Because of serving the wrong order to the other table, they offered them for free but nothing was being offered to us after we feedback to the server that we had been waiting for a long time for the waffle .( hey look, we are the victims!) Mao Shan Wang Lava Cake - The cake was soft with a very strong fragrance of durian ( Mao Shan Wang filling was flowing out of the cake when i cut it open) . It also comes with a gelato of your choice. i had chosen the Rum & Raisin ice cream,and trust me, one can really get drunk as the alcohol taste was quite strong in a good way. Waffle with Ice cream - The waffle seems to be abit under cooked maybe because they are rushing out the order for us . The Roche Ice Cream was nice though, creamy and rich. …查看更多

I consider ice edge to be one of the very decent cafes at the Hougang/Sengkang/Punggol area, especially so if you are looking for one that is near a MRT station. This cafe will always be on my mind if I am having my meal in this area and is looking for a good place to chill out and to have dessert,My favourite items from Ice edge's menu -their handcrafted ice-cream. Ice Edge offers a decent variety of flavours like Lychee Martini, Salted egg yolk, Tiramisu, Rum & Raisins, Belgium Chocolate, Baileys, Champagne Vanilla, Pistachio, Snickers, but my favourite? It's their Rocher and Mao Shan Wang Durian.Must tries: waffles with ice cream, Buffalo WingsFor in-depth review and more photos, feel free to visit my post:http://chinchaijiak.wordpress.com/2013/09/25/ice-edge-cafe-kovan-cosy-not-so-little-ice-cream-cafe/…查看更多

While fellow cafe/restaurant Lola's is drumming up a storm further down along Simon's Road, I decided to revisit Ice Edge Cafe, just for old times sake. Before Lola's came along, the restaurant was pretty much one of the to-go places in Kovan for late desserts and drinks.Restaurant InteriorNothing much has changed over the years - the restaurant expanded, but the bright orange walls and furnishings still remain at the centre of the restaurant interior. For lunch I picked one of the recommended signature dishes from Ice Edge - the Seafood Aglio Olio which really gave me mixed signals. The seafood weren't really the freshest as advertised. While the single mussel was more dry and lack-lustre, the prawns though succulent, weren't cleaned out during prep. What won me over was really the pasta, which as al dente and had that perfect mix of oil and spice that I like with my aglio olio. Seafood Aglio Olio - $16.80Personally, I find it hard to walk away from a dessert display empty-handed. Especially when they stock some really intense and exotic flavours. My choices: Mao Shan Wang + Belgian Dark ChocolateLarge Premium Gelato Cup - $7.60The durian-chocolate combination is just hard to beat. And both flavours being strong, not 1 of the flavours would be drowned out by the other and you'd be able to enjoy aromatic durian and delectable chocolate by the spoonful.Overall, a meal at Ice Edge Cafe's not cheap. But it was enjoyable especially when it came to the desserts. If ever there was a reason to head back, would be the signature Molten Mao Shan Wang Lava Cake. Molten Chocolate Cake there's aplenty, but a melted durian core? =D …查看更多

Ordered this Tom Yam Seafood Linguine at the Ice Edge Cafe and the taste of this dish was pretty unique and appetizing. There were fresh prawn, mussel and calamari mixed together with linguine as well as chef’s special tom yam sauce. The prawns were soft and crunchy and the combination of the tender linguine and the tom yam sauce was superb. The only imperfect part of this dish was the slightly over chewy mussel and calamari. Ice Edge Cafe was an ideal place for chilling and for relaxation as the ambience of the place was pretty good. …查看更多
