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.

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 Chocolate
Large 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
