Having friends in Edmonton who have raved about the rolled ice cream truck, I was excited to discover that Calgary has a store in Chinatown. I did not believe them when they said the ice cream was made instantly and got rolled up like an egg roll. Boy was I wrong. Not only did the staff put on a show, but they seemed to enjoy every bit of the process.
Environment - The parlor is situated in an old building in Chinatown. There is an elevation at the entrance that will test your footwork. The place was small with 2 tables and a counter, with not much décor or ambience. It's best to go in with a "grab and go" mentality.
Food - I ordered the Purple Haze, which was a mixture of fresh taro, coconut, and whipped cream. The presentation of the ice cream was phenomenal and looked very appetizing. When you first bite into the ice cream, you immediately experience the medley of little chunks of taro and coconut. However, I felt the ice cream was not as smooth and creamy as other ice cream parlors in town. Perhaps because you need to roll the ice cream this necessitates a different consistency.
Value - I felt the price justifies what you are getting. For $7, you get a decent amount of freshly made ice cream and a rolling show. The novelty is worth the price of admission. However, time will tell how long the novelty will last for.
Overall - Definitely worth checking out.
