| - This thai-inspired ice cream shop has been all the hype this summer! When I was looking for food places to take my friend, I skipped over this one because reviews said that the wait was 1.5 to 2 hours long! Luckily, today was a rainy day so the line up was relatively short ~ around 20 minutes. The service was so good! There was always an employee standing outside the shop with the line who would explain what these odd ice cream rolls were, recommend flavours and tell us about the toppings. The employees inside were also very enthusiastic and happy looking!
The interior was so cutely decorated and very simple. They had a very cute penguin logo to begin with. There were framed cartoon polar bear photographs, fat fortune cat statues, and benches to wait for the ice cream on. The music was very edgy. We also got to watch them pour the ice cream batter on to the chilled table top and shape them into the cute rolls they are served as! After receiving your order, there's a clean, simple white schemed area for photo taking! There's really no room inside to sit or wait too long though!
I ordered the Thai Me Up flavour which came with condensed milk, whipped cream, Koala bear biscuits, and crushed waffles. It wasn't too sweet and the taste was very like thai iced tea. I wished the toppings could be customized because the biscuits and waffles weren't as crisp and fresh as expected. I really want to try black sesame, taro, and earl grey flavours next time!
