[ Flavours in Focus: Watermelon Calamansi (Sorbet) + Apple Pie (ice cream) ] Always happy to visit the most reliable ice cream spot in the neighbourhood: Kindred Folk! One thing that keeps me visiting an establishment is a constant trend of improvement, and if you’ve been following KF since their inception years ago, you can really taste and feel the quality change!

Take my fav flavour Watermelon Calamansi for example. A month into opening, I remember despite how much I enjoyed the flavour combination, the sorbet lacked a cohesiveness — the ice felt separate from the flavours, and the entire texture was a tad too wet for my liking.

Fast forward to today, and you’ve this even and smooth scoop with a mouthfeel closer to the silkiness of ice cream than the icy sheen of most sorbets! The mix is a little more muted (for better not worse since you don’t get any of that cloying aftertaste a few spoons in), but you can still taste the refreshing sharpness of each flavour. Especially welcomed if you are looking for a palate cleanser!

The apple pie ice cream a certain someone got was pretty good too — velveteen exterior with surprise pockets of crumble inside; a very fun eating experience!
