I discovered this tiny gem of an ice cream parlour many months ago but haven’t gotten to writing about it till now. Icekimo is where I get my dose of durian ice cream fix when I’m craving for both durian and ice cream.


The outlet has a cheery pink theme that perks your mood up and makes you want to eat!


One of my cousins went for the green tea flavour. I thought this was pretty good as I could taste the matcha in it and it wasn’t too milky.


Another cousin chose the Teh Tarik (top) and Jasmine (bottom). I didn’t taste the Teh Tarik but I tried the Jasmine and it did taste like Chinese Jasmine tea – very light and subtle. It’s nice if you don’t want something too heavy.


But ah, THIS is what I go to Icekimo for – the super durian waffle!!! It’s my favourite item on the menu. Luscious, smooth, aromatic durian ice cream sitting atop two warmly toasted waffles with durian flesh puree sandwiched in between. H.E.A.V.E.N.


Icekimo’s durian ice cream is the best I’ve come across so far and other flavours include Belgian chocolate, Blueberry cheesecake, Strawberry etc. I love the flavours that cater to the local market – Dino Milo, Bandung, Teh Tarik, Horlicks (with malteses), Lychee etc. Some of the flavours like chempedak are seasonal. The chempedak ice cream is really delicious and it’s a must-eat whenever it’s on the menu.
The good thing about these ice creams is that it’s cheaper compared to premium brands like Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s. Another cousin had a single scoop of durian ice cream in a cone and the total bill for all four of us came up to $16.30. For the same amount, we would only have gotten three single scoops in any of the more expensive ice cream outlets.
I love my neighbourhood ice cream parlour! I also like the fact that I’m supporting local businesses in patronising it.
