    Welcome to a popular hang-out spot for ice cream lovers, where each ice cream is made to order. Yes, you read that right, and that’s where liquid nitrogen comes in, braiding the milk and condiments to a creamy concoction sans any icy lumps. The must-tries on the menu are their Brownie and Cream, fudgy homemade chocolate bits swirled with original cream, and the Butterscotch version, that bursts with nutty and buttery flavour. For chocolate hunters, their dark chocolate ice cream is top-notch, and not cloyingly sweet. Interior-wise, the quaint shop exudes industrial vibes and the floor-length glass windows permits you to watch the world go by, thinking what are they missing out, a little showboating perhaps.
