Rachel simply digs this. To me, I think it tastes better than normal ice cream but is way overpriced . I dislike the fact that they only serve takeouts and the service is extremely slow. There’s always a long queue – not because business is exceptionally overwhelming, but because the little kids taking the order and serving the ice-cream take way too long to get things done. The weird rectangular counter layout, confined behind a glass display makes it worse as customers have no place to queue and in fact, do not even know where the queue is.

As this is a franchise outlet from Japan, I am suspicious that Singaporeans are probably shortchanged for quality as is usually the case with overseas franchise operations. Has anyone tried this in the original outlets in Japan? If so, do enlighten us if there’s a difference in service, price and quality. Here’s the link to the official Japanese website.

Anyway, here are some photos taken during our last visit:

  1. Looks good (i can’t resist the word parfait anyway), bt it’s kind of expensive, for now I think I’d settle for Ice Cream Chef. ^^

  2. Actually, i had tried the ones in japan. they are about the same, but the stall has way more seats.
