Originally from Australia, it has now spreaded to Singapore and this outlet is their first (before that one had to go to 1 Utama in Malaysia for Just Like It, unless you can find local nitro ice cream stalls!). One can see the "scientists" doing the ice cream experiments.The New Popcorn tasted great and had real popcorn added into the mixture. It is also more flavourful.
Despite the price, this is a recommended place for ice cream freshly made on the spot (slow it may be because it's only made upon order, it's without any artificial flavoring, coloring, etc. and it's original!).

The regular Cappuccino is one not to be missed. Rich in taste but not too overwhelming in terms of bitterness (they use Fairtrade coffee beans!) and added with the right amount of milk, I felt that it was just right for me. Coffee is something this place is popular for, so trying is believing!The Truffle Fries is also something to order here. One of the cheaper truffle fries around, it is nonetheless crispy and tasted great.Only the gourmet hotdog selections and certain sandwiches were available as we came on a Saturday dinner.

The Big Bang is one of the gourmet hotdog. It is made with scrambled eggs, bolognese, sour cream and bacon accompanying the guinness beef and pork sausage. This accompanies well with beer (I was having coffee so I had skipped that)The Ang Mo Classic is also another gourmet hotdog which looked like a normal hotdog meal except that this came with cheese and gherkins and smeared with mustard and ketchup. You know what to have with for a complete enjoyment.Overall, this is a great place to come to if you are having brunch or a late night dinner around the area.

The Iced Cappuccino is disappointing. The coffee was bland as the taste of the coffee was not strong, even the milk taste wasn’t apparent.The Flat White's blend came from Toby’s Estate, so you know what to expect. Great coffee!The Roasted New Potatoes with Rosemary and Romesco Sauce was well sauteed and roasted to perfection, its enough to be eaten on its own. Have it, however, with the Romesco sauce for a mild spicy and tangy taste.The Spatchcock Chicken is a chicken that had their backbone removed so that it can be flattened before roasting it with lemon & thyme, garlic & shallots, verjus & Creme Fraiche sauce. This resulted in a crispy skin and each piece of chicken tasting juicy and flavourful. It is one that must be ordered here!The Red Velvet Cake had disappointed a bit. The cake did not crumble easily, the taste of the cake were alright, but the taste of butter/cheese was in near absence in the cream used. Nonetheless, the quantity was enough to delight both of us.

The Freshly Baked Waffle with Hazelnut Haven & Salted Mr Brown ($9.70) is a nice combination. The waffle is slightly savoury and complements well with the chocolate sauce. The Hazelnut Haven had strong tasting of hazelnut and chocolate while the Salted Mr Brown had a distinct taste of sea salt and a tinge of chocolate. One of the richest tastes of ice cream I have found here!

The Nasi Lemak is one of the signature dishes. The coconut rice was very aromatic, the chicken curry, ikan bilis and acar were full in taste. The quantity was somewhat lacking though.The Nasi Bojari also one of the signature dishes, was what I preferred over the Nasi Lemak. The rice tasted great, the chicken was tender, the assam prawns were spicy enough and the beef rendang was great. The quantity was enough as well.The Cold Lemon Tea tasted refreshing. Contrary to other places, this place separates the sugar syrup so that you can decide how sweet you want your drink to be.The Black & White, which is basically soya bean drink with grass jelly. The sugar syrup is given for this too.The Banana Fritters with Ice Cream is a refreshing dessert to end off with. The banana fritters were not crispy, but sweet and soft to chew on when accompanied with the vanilla ice cream.
