Merely Ice Cream

I must say the rum and raisin is the best flavour all all. I’ve tried at least 7 flavours, but R&R… Tastes original and homely. If I’m not wrong, all their ice creams are handmade. I wouldn’t say the ice cream is he finest lot (in terms of texture), but it sure is flavourful. Great as a snack on a hot midday. You see lots of school kids from NAFA having their scoops of ice cream while chilling, literally.

one of my favorite late night ice cream places. open til 11pm.
flavours tried:
grape yakult = very good
root beer float = very good
yuzu = consistently good (4 different sessions)
lychee beer = average
rum & raisin = average
milo = bleugh
it’d be 5 stars if the ice cream did not melt so fast, and if they had better seating. try to sit/​stand outside, because the interior is poorly designed (think hard surfaces) and multiplies echoes. crate tables outside are unfinished though, watch out for bonus splinters.
tldr: high on flavor, low on ambience.

The housemade flavours are really nice. Big fan of the coconut ice cream — they use Thai young coconut so it’s sweet and refreshing. Wish they’d put more slivers of real coconut in the ice cream — then it’d be really great. The Bailey’s Coffee is nice too — but I’m a sucker for anything with Baileys and coffee — wish they’d make the coffee espresso then it’d really be da bomb.
They also have a solid Chocolate Stout ice cream.
The root beer ice cream is a blast from the past — tastes like an A&W root beer float.
My boyfriend’s a big fan of the Horlicks Panda ice cream which has a delicious malted flavour and has the little Japanese panda cookies crushed into the mix.
Nice indulgence if you happen to be passing by

Yay! I’m a fan!
Came across Merely on my walk home this evening. It was incredibly humid so this ice cream shop was a very welcome sight. It’s very small inside, but I saw some people hanging out enjoying their cones, and some others even on laptops who appeared to be working.
Sampled Salted Butterscotch, Rum Raisin, and something else I can’t recall. Settled on the Salted Butterscotch as it reminded me of my all-​time favorite dessert flavor combination — salted caramel. It was just the right combination of salty and sweet. Still thinking about it a few hours later. Yum!

A couple of colleagues and I dropped by for dessert after our lunch break. They’ve been here several times before, so I got them to help me pick flavours. Since they both sung praises for the Oreo Milk and Cereal Milk flavour, I bought those. I thought they sounded weird, but I was game to try something new for novelty’s sake.
To my surprise, the Oreo Milk turned out to be nothing like the usual Cookies and Cream flavours available elsewhere. The ice-​cream was mixed with Oreo cheesecake cookie dough and tasted better than the cookie! I didn’t like Cereal Milk — well, you’ll like it if you love breakfast if you love your breakfast cereals, but the cornflakes were too soggy for my liking and lacked the crunch I like in my cereal.
Besides having cheery staff, they also have other interesting flavours and rotate some flavours on some days, so those are good reasons to return.

It’s a tiny little shop in Sunshine Plaza with just 11 homemade flavours of ice cream created in the backroom of the shop. I tried a bunch of flavours and debated between the Peanut Butter and Rum & Raisin and ended up with the latter. Quite yummy; the other flavours I tried were quite varied (the Oreo Milk was a little bland for me, Choc Stout was not bad, Salted Caramel potentially yummy)
It’s a small basic shop with a bunch of benches and tables, the serving folk are really nice and offered us water when they knew we were dining in.

Happened to chance upon this store after my friends and I had some thai food just next door. We were kinda too lazy to go too far for dessert so just settled on the nearest ice cream place.
There’s been so many new ice cream parlours opening up, you can get tired of seeing new ones if you already have favourites that you keep going back to. It’s hard to find that little extra oomph that will compel you to add another favourite to your list.
While I love ice-​cream, its not always my choice dessert and I think I may have to high of an expectation to make me fall head over heels with Merely.
They have regular flavours like valrhona choc (very thick and not overly sweet), banana walnut and peanut butter. I tried to go for the more unique and adventurous flavour — something called the «breakfast cereal» caught my eye. Its actually really made of cornflakes and milk and the scoop of delight really tastes like conrflakes and milk in a ball of creamy ice! It’s not too bad, the taste is very familiar but after awhile the texture may bother you, it may, after some time, feel like you’re eating regurgitated breakfast because its not as crunchy as at least, how I would have my conrflakes and milk.
Otherwise this place has a very colourful and welcoming vibe with its decors and they have student discounts since they’re just opposite NAFA and pretty near La Salle. Much of their customers are students too.
Final verdict: Be careful what you name your store, because it might just come true. At the end of the day, what you find here is really… merely ice cream and nothing else.

Merely Ice Cream is a new start up company that has been recently launched. Ice cream is made fresh everyday, so to avoid disappointment, do visit them before their more popular flavours get sold out.
«Oreo Milk» features a milk based ice cream mixed with decadent Oreo cheesecake cookie dough! «Cereal Milk» is roasted cornflakes soaked in full cream milk and blended into the ice cream it has a hearty flavour especially if you are a fan of morning breakfast cerea. «Horlicks» is delicious with bits of chewy Horlicks clusters — definitely much better than McDonald’s new Horlicks McFlurry, which was a little too sweet for my liking. They also serve alcoholic flavours like Rum and Raisin, Irish Baileys which are recommended.
They’re still in the the experimental phase and have yet to officially launch waffles/​brownies/​pastries on their menu, but the moment they do, I’ll be sure to check them out.
Pricing: Single scoop ($ 3.30), Double scoop ($ 5.60), Triple scoop ($ 7.90)

This little ice cream stall has a very pleasant vibe to it. The décor is very woody and you kinda feel like you’re in an Ikea catalogue. I have a sweet tooth so ice cream is right up my alley. Lasalle student’s get 15% off the price tag so if you like the art college crowd, this place might be the place for you to have your frozen dessert.
I had the Oreo Milk ice cream which, I found that I liked it more than the original Oreo cookie. I kinda O. D’d on oreo cookies during my national service and reservist jungle training days, so generally I stay away from anything with that flavour. The ice cream tasted far enough away from the original oreo cookie that I enjoyed it very much. I think it’s best described as Oreo that’s been soaked through with milk.
You know what I would actually like this flavour it as a milkshake. It wasn’t too sweet and I really enjoyed it. Staff were very courteous and friendly too! Good stuff.

Pretty decent ice cream out here in Sunshine Plaza. The peanut butter is creamy and chunky, with lovely little PB bits. The Oreo Milk is the crowd fave. They change their flavours often, ask to have a taste. They also have waffles and a good selection of tea.
