In celebration of Singapore’s 53rd birthday, Cold Stone Creamery has launched two new flavours that will be available from now until 31st August 2018.
Shown above is the “Nasi Lemak” which, as crazy as it sounds, tastes very shiok!
It starts off with a coconut-flavoured ice cream base that has spicy chilli sambal with ikan bilis and peanuts hand-mixed in. This is shaped into a ball that goes into a pandan-flavoured waffle bowl. Crispy ikan bilis, rice puffs and two pieces of cucumber are then added. I love the resulting beautifully lemak (rich) ice-cream dessert with its appetising blend of sweet and savoury.
What I initially thought would be off-putting, that is the ikan bilis with ice-cream, turned out to be addictive. I was poking around in the bowl to make sure I didn’t miss any.
Cold Stone Creamery definitely succeeded in translating everything that makes a good Nasi Lemak into dessert form. I think they ought to keep it on the menu because it’s something to be proud of 😄
