Not long ago, I found out there was a gourmet ice-cream parlour right under my nose. The former Gan Eng Seng Secondary School which is literally right next to my block, was recently converted to the Marketing Institute of Singapore plus some other commercial offices. It's now known as 10 Raeburn Park.
And so after weeks of talking about trying the ice cream, I found myself in Seventh Heaven after dinner yesterday (that's the name of the shop and the state of mind you'll have after eating their ice cream!). Some might find the location 'ulu' but I have no such complaints! ;-)
There has been a spate of home-grown ice-cream of late like Daily Scoop and Island Creamery, but what sets this one apart is that they specialise in alcoholic flavours. And they are generous with the spiking!
Anyways, by the time Swana, Nick and I walked over they were about to close so we decided to takeaway 2 pints, one Lychee Martini and one Butter Scotch Pecan. Kavi came over for dinner last night so when everyone was ready for dessert, we scooped out the ice cream. They were a tad bit soft, I guess alcohol would make it a bit difficult for the ice cream to harden.
I tried the Butter Scotch Pecan first, the texture was super smooth and creamy and the scotch flavour very distinct but not too overpowering. The nuts were very fresh and crunchy and I could have gone on eating it!
But no, I tried the Lychee Martini after that and the lychee flavour was also very distinct and lingered on the tastebuds. Really tasted like Lychee Martini because there was vodka and all.
Overall, the ice cream standard was very good and suffice it to say, I will be back for more. There's a chocolate whisky one, bailey's and chocolate coffee crunch that I need to try. Plus I hear their warm chocolate cake is pretty decent.
They are open from 11am-8pm on weekdays and close at 11pm on Friday and Saturday, closed on public holidays. We saw the lady owner yesterday, a very petite Chinese lady who apparently has a PhD and is an ex-NUS lecturer.
She must be really passionate about ice-cream to have started this venture. I hope her business booms, I don't want them to vacate anytime soon! She should try to publicise more within Spottiswoode Park, I bet a lot of residents don't know about the place.
I think my Ben and Jerry days are numbered, it's much more convenient to just walk over next door for an ice-cream fix than worry over melting ice-cream when stuck exiting the Vivo carpark...
