Food: Milkcow All New Gold Leaf and Milky Cool Series

Ice cream has reached a new level of luxury. Milkcow recently introduced the all new Gold Leaf series, which is the current trend these days especially in Japan. At first, I was extremely skeptical at the thought of consuming gold but when I saw how it looked like, it was so pretty that I wondered if it was actually edible.

The paper is made out of real gold and actually, there isn't much funny metallic taste to it so don't worry! It's definitely picture worthy :)

And what's going to Milkcow without their famous soft serve ice cream and honey comb cubes!

MILKY COOL SERIES

Handcrafted Milk & Tea Drinks with Natural Puddings

Thai Green Tea & Mango Pudding (RM 7.90)

This one is perfect for anyone who is a green tea lover and I never knew the combination of green tea with mango would work magics on the taste buds like this one did. The texture and consistency of the drinks seems a little bit like the usual milk tea with grass jelly but this is a bit harder as there are soft pudding in it as well.

Thai Milk Tea & Green Tea Pudding (RM 7.90)

Strawberry Milk & Bubble Gum Pudding (RM 8.90)

This flavour is interesting and would be a kids' favourite.

Honey Milk & Yam Pudding (RM 8.90)

Chocolate Milk & Honey Milk Pudding (RM 8.90)

Check out the new menu here!

Food: Honey Creme Hartamas Grand Opening

Dessert connoisseurs in the Klang Valley can rejoice as the organic premium soft-serve ice cream brand, Honey Creme, which won over a cult-following in several other countries has finally set foot in a local food haven, Desa Sri Hartamas.

Ice creams have always been stigmatized as unhealthy and nutritionally deficient but indulging in Honey Creme does not have to be frowned upon and reserved only for diet cheat days. Specially handcrafted with premium organic ingredients from all over the world including South Korea’s top organic milk and creams, Honey Crème’s soft serve can be a healthier option with nutritional toppings like raw honeycomb, organic mixed grains, heart-healthy dark chocolate or simply the sinfully indulgent choice of popcorn or cotton candy toppings.

Plain old boring scoops of ice cream is passé as Honey Creme reinvents the ice-cream experience with its unique flavours and presentation. Take for example its signature Honey Comb Soft Serve; how often do urbanites come across real honeycombs in their daily lives, let alone in their desserts? The Honeycomb Soft Serve, crowned with a golden chunk of raw honey comb is truly a sight to behold and a delight to the palate. According to Honey Creme, raw honeycomb provides a natural sweetness, omitting the need for artificial sugar sweeteners. Novelty aside, these golden nuggets are a nutritional powerhouse, prized as a health tonic since ancient times. Sourced from the prestige bee farms globally, Honey Creme’s inclusion of raw honeycomb adds a variety of minerals, trace elements, amino acids, enzymes and other health giving properties into each serving of delectable soft serve. This healthy dessert topping is a firm favourite with celebrity Victoria Song from Korean band f(x).

So, they recently had a Grand Opening for their new outlet at Desa Sri Hartamas and I was there for this special occasion. I managed to try a few of the flavours and it was surprisingly smooth just like how ice creams should be perfectly made. The toppings of honey comb wasn't too sweet or plastic-like either.
