Tom's Palette #1

After marketing discussion, I wanted to satisfy my craving for ice cream at the nearby Tom's Palette since Eric had said it was very good. The girls didn't join Zhi Peng and I as they wanted to go home. At first, Mr Sim wanted to go to MOF instead but he was no match for my "whining"! While we were there, the small parlor was quite crowded even though it was almost closing time.

There were many interesting flavours such as Lavender, Wasabi and Lime, and Peanut Butter. The staff was really friendly and explained the different flavours to us. He was also very patient while I deliberated over my choice.


The small cup only cost $2.50 for 2 flavours! I settled for Chocolate Stout, which used ABC stout, and the shop's bestseller, Granny's Favourite, which was a mixture of malt and cookie dough. I love this! The bitter sharp alcoholic Chocolate Stout contrasted perfectly with the not too cloyingly sweet Granny's Favourite.

Zhi Peng chose Chocolate and Rum & Raisins. You may think that it's boring to choose Chocolate but sometimes, the simplest classic flavour is the best as it's so hard to find a really good one. Rich, thick and not overly creamy, Tom's Palette's version was really quite top-notch. However, I think that Ice Cream Gallery's version of Rum & Raisins is better.
