Being one of the two ice-cream parlours which have moved into the shops at the foot of Blk 55 Chai Chee Drive recently, La Creamery is an ice-cream parlour that prides itself over its artisan ice-creams that are made fresh in small batches in-house on a daily basis. Apart from carrying some noteworthy ice-cream flavours such as the Lemongrass & Ginger and White Chrysanthemum amongst others, the establishment also interestingly serves up Honey Thyme Cones and Pu-Erh Waffles, aside from the standard Classic Waffle that is also on the menu.

It was pretty clear for us on what item was to be ordered here — what are the chances that one will be able to find Pu-Erh Waffles being served up at an ice-cream parlour? The Pu-Erh Waffles were pretty well-executed here; the buttermilk waffles here were plush and fluffy — whilst wafting of a buttermilk fragrance, it also perfumes of a light tea aroma that lingers around the taste buds that did not attempt to overwhelm the ice-cream that we have picked. Our choice of ice-cream were the Lemonade Sorbet and the Jasmine Osthmanthus — the former was nothing short of zippy and refreshing, and would work great as a palate cleanser, while the latter was impressed us with its distinct floral body and tea-esque finish amidst the smooth and creamy milky base that would appeal to those who are into floral flavours and tea lovers alike. In fact, we pretty much loved everything that was on the plate that we actually wiped everything clean in less than 5 minutes.

Whilst looking like almost any other ice-cream parlour with a pastel pink colour scheme on the outside, La Creamery is something more than the usual — it’s infusion of botanical elements may be in-line with what is popular amongst ice-cream parlours to serve up to their patrons these days, but they have looked past the usual flavour combinations and also have offered a tea-infused waffle to set themselves apart from the crowded scene of ice-cream parlours. With ice-creams that are churned in-house, and waffles and cones which are also made from scratch, it is undeniable how La Creamery is a place where passion for the craft runs deep; and this sincerity shows in the food that they serve. A spot that one should check out especially if around the east side; wishing them all the best in what has to come!
