The Ice Cream Gallery

This tiny shop is extremely easy to miss if one is walking by too quickly. With only a single table and four chairs in that small shop space, there was not much of an ambience. Most people probably buy their ice cream to take on their journey.
Do not be deceived by the simple outlook of the shop. Ice cream gallery sells homemade ice cream made with only the choicest ingredients. What lured me into the shop was the blackboard sign outside that promised homemade ice cream with ‘reduced fat, reduced sugar and fresh ingredients’. They even do homemade waffles and milkshakes! Without further ado, I had to satiate my sweet-​toothed appetite.
My favorites are the Rum & Raisin and Gula Melaka flavors. The rum-​soaked raisins were plump and so satisfying. This is one flavor that alcohol lovers would definitely appreciate. The Gula Melaka flavor was smooth and creamy, and the red beans complemented the sweetness of the Gula Melaka, the main ingredient of this flavor. Other original flavors I look forward to trying next time are Lychee and Sea Salt Almond Caramel.

Just a stone’s throw away for me, here’s a consistently good ice cream to count on! Especially after doing some groceries at Cold Storage, just a few doors down, I’d pop over just to get a scoop. What’s amazing is the crunch or chew they incorporate with their ice cream flavours that make them unique. You can’t just lick it.
My favourite is sea salt caramel with toasted almonds. That addition of nuts made alllll the difference, trust me! Other wise it would be gula melaka with red beans or earl grey with figs. Great combinations that you won’t find somewhere else. For a scoop at $ 3.50 and a premium for another $ 0.50, it’s quite an affordable dessert!

I was back here again today for a some ice cream (obviously following up on my previous review), and I had the bailey’s ice cream this time.
It was a brilliant choice! The ice cream was smooth and creamy, and packed with awesome bailey’s flavour minus the excessive alcohol.
One of my new favourite ice cream flavours now!

I am quite surprised there are no more ice cream parlors along the Katong/​East Coast Road stretch. Ice Cream Gallery seem to be only one within the distance. Luckily for us it is a good one. I’ve visited it a couple of times and enjoyed myself with their ice cream, which is not the best I’ve had in Singapore, but pretty good enough.
What I did like about this place is their use of giant ice cream sticks as décor on the door handle and their menu signboard behind the counter. They also have this corner with organic foodstuff that they sell too, which is quite awesome and makes it a little bit like a grocery shop.
On their menu they also have some pretty random items like ice cream with beer. I am not sure that is a good combination to have in your tummy. Ice Cream flavors-​wise they have an average range, nothing too exotic.

Ice Cream Gallery has been a fixture of Eastwood Centre for quite awhile now, conveniently located near the supermarket. The ice cream here is homemade, a definite plus.
I’ve tried most of the flavours, I think, after many trips to the supermarket. Some flavours I like for its richness such as the durian flavour, others I’m not so fond of its sweetness like the berry and most of the other fruit flavours in general. The sorbets in particular are a little too sweet for my taste, and there aren’t exactly any ‘light’ flavours available that I enjoy.
The space is small, just one table and the counter, so it is not a good idea to sit and eat inside there. There is a big bus stop just outside though where you could enjoy your ice cream outdoors.

Not one of those mega-​bucks places, and that’s what I love about it. There’s something to be said about the simplicity of the set up — the shop has a bunch of freezers, one table with three chairs, and about space for just about four people to stand in line.
Classic flavours, no icy bits, made locally. All plus points in my books.
I stop by after a grocery run at the supermarket two doors down, and get a scoop of rum and raisin to go. Sometimes I get a pint, but I make sure I tell everyone I’m expecting guests… whether they arrive in time for the last scoop, I can’t say.
