Best Ice Cream in KL

Ilao Ilao has been incredibly well received overseas, especially in Europe and Singapore. Fortunately, we do not have to travel all the way there for natural frozen yoghurt as Ilao Ilao was brought into Malaysia recently. They offer amazingly good yoghurt with a series of toppings, fresh fruits and homemade sauce. Fruits are cut daily and fresh berries (not frozen) are imported. Yoghurt is made from skimmed milk and has a low-fat content, which makes it melt a little quicker, but the flavours are absolutely to die for!
