Tom’s Palette is an ice cream parlour that claims to serve homemade ice cream made from scratch with egg, milk, cream and sugar. They have been churning exotic flavours and they have flavours specially tailored for special occasions. For instance, when we dropped by on Chinese New Year’s eve, there were some special CNY themed flavours: Pineapple Tart, Tau Sar Piah, Luo Han Guo, Yuzu, Eight Treasure… These are some of the uniquely oriental flavours made for CNY and they really taste like the rea
For instance, when we dropped by on Chinese New Year’s eve, there were some special CNY themed flavours: Pineapple Tart, Tau Sar Piah, Luo Han Guo, Yuzu, Eight Treasure… These are some of the uniquely oriental flavours made for CNY and they really taste like the real thing. I managed to sample a couple and was impressed. (BTW service staff are really friendly and won’t hesitate to let you try flavours, and they make great recommendations!)
We had their highly recommended Granny’s Favourite which is essentially chocolate malt ice cream and cookie dough. Chocolate lovers will not be disappointed with this. Another highly recommended flavour is Salted Caramel Cheesecake, although we wished the cheesecake flavour could come out stronger. Rum and Raisin did not disappoint with a strong rum flavour blended into vanilla ice cream coupled with generous portions of raisins. We also choose Yuzu, to balance out the rest of the sweet, milky flavours. Yuzu is a japanese citrus fruit that has a nice tangy refreshing tangerine flavour. A small cup goes for $2.80 and you can choose to have 2 flavours in your cup at a go. They really pack the ice cream into each cup as much as possible and as a result, it has been really packed in compactly and from the picture, the ice cream is bursting out of the cups! Furthermore, tertiary and poly students get to enjoy 10% off!
Also, since this is homemade ice cream, they melt really quickly. The owners pride themselves for not adding preservatives or stabilizers, so you’re getting the real deal! =)
