Self Decoration Ice-Cream!

Figure 1.0

Had a great lunch buffet at Seoul Garden and of course after taking those heavy food, never forget to get an ice‐cream as a desert. I'm not a great ice‐cream decorator and it came out with a simple 3 scoops of ice‐cream with some mixture toppings. Actually I was rushing to go off from the lunch, so end up not spending too much time on the decoration of the ice‐cream. Anyway, it's just a happy snap shot to share with. Desert always makes a person happy.

Due to the hurry of time after having the grill and some steamboat food, I don't get the chance to make their ice kacang, where they provide various different topping ingredients. Shall make one DIY ice kacang for the next visit. Stay tune!

I had a story of ice cream about my friend. My friend went for a dating together with her husband and her husband suggested her to go out for an ice cream after having their movie. Her husband brought her to a very special desert shop selling varieties of ice cream, with the only intention of making his wife happy, as desert often makes a person happy. Then when come to make an order, after the wife chooses her favorite one and the husband did not order any of it and saying that he is not having any of it because he is still feeling full. They started in argument when the wife responded with a higher tone to her husband, "What?! You are not having any? And yet you brought me here? Are you trying to fatten me up so that I'm less appealing to other men?". The husband just keep quiet while the wife showing him a black face.

The husband's good intention has been totally misunderstood. Is ice cream that fattening? Yea, the sugar on the ice cream is fattening but with a little consumption of it once in a while wouldn't bring so much effect of fats. Although such situation happens once in a blue moon among relationship, but not to blame any of the ice cream desert as it is the great source of social and make people connects happily.

Sometime when you going on a family jaunt for ice cream on weekend could just be a great day!

Wonderful Treat On 35th Swensational Years!

Figure 1.0

I received this Swensen voucher after paying my bills for one of my dine in meal at the restaurant. At first I thought I receive the voucher as a gift of spending over $200 at the restaurant. Until I saw the advertisement online and I just realized that actually we can just redeem the voucher by flashing a mobile phone snapshot of the voucher during a payment which is spend at least $70 at any of their restaurants islandwide.

This $35 dollar off promotional is only valid until end of March 2014, as Swensen is celebrating their 35 Years Anniversary. The promotion itself is only valid on weekdays and not available on weekends or Valentine’s day.

The first thought that came to our mind when chatting about this voucher is, will there be another $36 dollar discount for the next year when Swensen celebrate their 36^th year anniversary? 

I like their Apple Crumble, served on a sizzling hot pan and drenched in delicious sauce. The combination of cold and hot mixture gave you a fantastic feeling of enjoying desert. Although I was doubt of ordering the Apple Crumble at first as I heard from some of my peer's opinion that it taste awful. But ended up I insist on ordering it to give it a try, and it was surprisingly taste to be good and doesn't taste as awful as what others claimed to be. Like the wise man said, "never try, never know, and you will never know how an apple taste like from just a description itself until you taste it yourself". I like the soft and a little crunchy apple chunks dipping with hot caramelized sauce. It tastes delicious with the combination of hot, cold, sweet, crunchy apple, and soft custard.

Generally it is still worth it especially with the $35 dollar voucher and also we received a free Firehouse Birthday Sundae treat. Whenever I visit Swensen, I will never miss to have their ice cream desert. Some even named it as the International Ice Cream Parlor.

Indeed we had our great time chilling with the cooling ice-cream desert after a stressful and tiring week from work. That’s the reason why I love desert so much as it would be absolutely perfect to make a day.

I had always found it a good place to gather around with friends for a birthday celebration because it is famous with its ice-cream cake and also with a wide array of ice-cream concoctions. 

It’s definitely a fantastic ice-cream parlor that one must experience. 

Peelable Banana Ice‐cream from Thailand.

Figure 1.0

Tried this peel able banana ice-cream during my visit in Thailand. It is a banana shaped ice-cream that not only looks like a banana where it also peels like a banana.

I had not seen such unique ice-cream before. When I first bought this ice-cream, I didn’t realized it was actually peelable, especially from the look of the picture alone and I assume it was only for an illustration of advertisement. 

The outer peelable layer is actually a jelly like consistency. It tastes as an icy gelatinous and thick substance. The inner layer consists of milk ice lolly. Hence, with the jellyness of the outer layer and the creaminess of the inner layer compliment each other perfectly. I would say such innovative ice-cream production creates an excitement not only for kids but to adults as well.

It makes everyone went banana (crazy) with this ice-cream. It looks incredible and stunning.

You can just peel the outer layer of the Popsicle using your mouth instead of peeling with your hand which makes your hand sticky. There are some tricks on peeling the jelly layer, where you first bite on the top of the Popsicle and you can slowly peel the jelly layer with your mouth.

You will never know how it tastes until you taste it by yourself! It is a cool ice-cream though!
