Writing food reviews or reviewing the ice cream standard on Tom's Palette is nothing new to most foodie or Openricer but I would still love to comment on it as 1stly, there are plenty different flavours of ice-cream, 2ndly, taste and choice of ice-cream depends very much on individual, 3rdly, this is my 1st visit after hearing so much about Tom's Palette and I've been wanting to try their creation since ages ago....Since the next day is Good Friday and 1 happened to be in the vicinity while chur
Since the next day is Good Friday and 1 happened to be in the vicinity while church visiting, I decided to check out this ice-cream parlour with my friend.
From far, I see a group of young students gathering in front of the fridge...Wow, seems like the place is packed on eve of public holiday. Despite the huge crowd in front, the friendly service staff greeted us warmly and introducing on their new flavours. they are super friendly and offer to let us sample some ice-cream even though we did not request for. I'm impressed by the way the staff are being train and they do know how to handle customers and introduce the flavours accordingly to customer's preference.
My friend tried the chocolate sorbet and before she can express her dislike on it, the service staff ask her is it because she prefers a creamery choice hence finds the dark chocolate sorbet too dry for her liking? True enough, my friend felt the same way and was offered to try chocolate banana.
My selection: Mocha Macnut & Chocolate SorbetFriend's selection: Salted Egg & Chocolate Banana
I'm a coffee and and dark chocolate lover hence the ice-cream which I've chosen are suits my taste perfectly. Dark chocolate are isn't too dry and they mild sweet...guess the % isn't that high. Mocha Macnut is well blended whereby it's not too overwhelming with coffee taste & I can still taste the fragrant of oily macadamia nuts.
Salted Egg my 1st time tasting salty ice-cream! Isn't ice-cream supposed to be sweet?! And of all flavours... salted egg? the though of it reminds me of eating Teochew porridge! Lolz...But to my surprise, it taste GREAT! Simple fantastic..throw away the thoughts of real salty egg yolk as it TOTALLY doesn't have the flaky oily egg yolk nor super salty egg white taste. In fact, it's a well blended creamy yolk taste with a mild saltiness minus away the egg stink smell! Great!
Besides the great taste, friend service staff, another factor which i like is the REASONABLE PRICE. Considered cheap as compared to other artisan ice-cream. Less that $$ and i get to eat 2 different flavours. What's more, polytechnics and universities students gets additional 10%!
