EW 7 - Eunos MRT Station

Remember the first post I told you guys about me wanting to travel around Singapore (sadly, not the world) to locate the most accessible ice cream parlours and bring their address right up to you guys? Well, that has officially started today!

To prove that I am a man of my words, and that I am definitely not reluctant to pick up my lazy buttocks to the furthest point of Singapore, I went down to Eunos.

You must be wondering, there must be nothing there, NOTHING AT ALL (which is what most of the people in the West/North/South would be thinking). But you are WRONG.

There is actually a special place that you would be interested to visit,

Ice Cream Chefs - Ocean Park Building
520 East Coast Road #01-06
Singapore 458965
Tel: 6446 6355
Mondays to Thursday: 1 - 10pm
Fridays to Sundays & Eve of PH: 1 - 11pm

Located along main East Coast Road, Ice Cream Chef is renowned for their brilliant idea for allowing your very own exquisite-ly flavored ice cream. You can make your very own creation of ice cream by selecting your choice of flavor and size, followed by your choice of mix-ins. The ice cream chefs at the creamery would then smash and mash your choice of ingredients together on the ice cold marble slab to create the tantalizing monster dessert that you would be enjoying thereafter!

Your very own ice cream, would also come with free Hershey's chocolate syrup!

The very interesting and amazing fact about Ice Cream Chefs is that they make their own ice cream flavors, and they range from several standard flavors to the more interesting local delights.

Some interesting flavors you might want to keep a lookout for are,

Berries Kiwi Fuz
(fusion of berries with kiwi bits, signature sherbet)

Creme Brulee
(caramelized sweet vanilla ice cream)

Durian Decadence
(so-called to convert Durian Haters to Durian Lovers, talk about Hate-crime control)

Kaya Lotee
(pandan kaya ice cream layered with bread crumbs, VERY interesting)

Passion Kiwi Fuz
(fusion of passion fruit with kiwi bits, another signature sherbet)

Their wide variety of mix-ins also include, Gummy Bears, Tim Tams, Hershey Chips, Mars, Famous Amos, and even Kinder Bueno! (now you get to enjoy ice cream while bueno-ing, isn't that nice?) Click here for the entire listing of flavors and mix-ins.

So anyway, I got down to Eunos MRT Station and hopped onto bus 13, but still got lost along the way somehow and ended up cabbing. According to the website for Ice Cream Chefs, Ocean Park Building is located beside St Patrick's School. However, if it's your first time visiting the area, do note that if you are alighting at St Patrick's, Ice Cream Chefs is located behind St Patrick's, and that Ocean Park Building is not really a mall as I initially thought, but instead a block stretch of shophouses. If you google the place, you would find that it's really near to Kembangan MRT Station as well (where you could take bus 13 too), but Eunos MRT Station would be nearer. On my way back however, I discovered that there was a much more clear cut route to get to the area, which is by bus 40 (to and fro Bedok MRT Station) where it alights right in front of Ocean Park. So you may choose this alternative route to get to the place, especially if it's your first time there. (:


Although their location is quite a frustration for the non-locals, it is still however a very smart idea to open their ice cream parlour near to an area with several schools within the vicinity, such as CHIJ Tanjong Katong, St Patrick's School, and Victoria Junior College. Students tend to hang out over here after school, to study, or to chill out with friends.

After finally having found the outlet, I got down to grab my own cup of ice cream before I started to melt from all that walking around. The thing about Ice Cream Chefs is that because they produce fresh tubs of ice cream daily, they tend to have limited flavors as a result (perhaps to prevent having too much leftover ice cream that might not taste good when less fresh). Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to get to try out the Kaya Lotee flavor which I honestly thought was very interesting. And much to my disappointment, there weren't any of the ice cream flavors which I mentioned above for sale today.


Instead, I got sampled the Honey Green Tea (green tea ice cream with a touch of honey) that was available today, but honestly speaking it tasted just like any other Macha/Green Tea ice cream with the exception that it was much sweeter than usual, and less of the powdery after-taste. As the other available flavors weren't very tempting, I got down to selecting my own concoction of ice cream with two flavors, Mrs Granny Smith (Green apple sherbet) and Orange & Lychees (fusion of orange with lychee bits).


My choice of mix-in was, (it's not hard to guess) Kinder Bueno. hehe.


Here's the lady mashing my ice cream concoction on the frozen marble slab, the traditional way of making ice cream much smoother and evenly textured. I had a double scoop, which consists of two flavors, and at $4.80 Ice Cream Chefs serve a generously large portion of ice cream. I almost thought I wouldn't be able to finish it all.


Here's the verdict of my ice cream:
Mrs Granny Smith Bueno-ing ft. Orange Lychees Mash-up
I like how everything goes together, very fruity, yet not so sickening after having too much. The issue with having sorbet sometimes is that it gets too sour to finish with, but with the green apple sherbet, it isn't the case as the sourness is too strong, and the creamy finish balances everything nicely. The Orange Lychees has a superbly refreshing taste and tantalizes you taste buds, with the occasional lychee bits bring up the funk. The choice of kinder bueno was good, since the chocolate itself has a creamy rich hazelnut taste, it doesn't taste weird for me but instead makes everything go well together.

Best of all, because the ice cream is mashed up on the marble slab, it gives it the extra smooth and rich texture, and goes to show that they really do have good ice cream. Really worth it at below five bucks (not to mention the generous portions).


Looking around, I noted that the ice cream parlour has a really cute touch of pink to it's atmosphere. Everything from the signboard, to name card, to walls are pink. Even the marker they use for labeling their ice cream cups are pink. I'm not a fan of pink, but it's kind of adorable, in a certain way.


And you would also notice that the walls are adorned with photographs of regulars/customers, giving a very cosy touch, making you feel welcomed and at home in the store while enjoying your ice cream. Needless to say, I had an enjoyable time while I was here today. (:

Sad to say, Ice Cream Chefs has only one outlet to date, so if you are really interested to try out their awesome ice cream, Eunos/Kembangan/Bedok would be the three nearest MRT station where it's most accessible to.
