not sure when it started but a surge of ice cream parlors hv sprouted out everywhere out of a sudden. previously i don't think i even seen much places serving ice cream except for swensens or maybe, haagen dazs. then i started hearing & reading about ben & jerry's, island creamery, tom's palette, udders, icekimo, haato, the ice cream gallery, marvelous cream, azabu sabo hokkaido ice cream etc. just too many! and thats not inclusive of the gelato counters littered all over the malls.
situated at the arcade, sunset way is a quaint little ice cream parlor decked in all-white. its very small and cosy but the ambience didn't looked half as bad! in fact i would hv liked it more if it wasnt so crowded. there were just lotsa youngsters eagerly queuing up for ice creams! the above pic shows a colorful wall mural. i loved it.
since we were really full from dinner, we just ordered 2 flavors to share. the butterscotch & pecan, which is old-fashion butterscotch ice cream sprinkled with freshly toasted pecans was quite good. since i'm crazy over salted caramel-anything, this flavor appealed to me since it has a nice sweet salty & buttery fragrance.
the lychee martini was a disappointment tho'. i could hardly taste any lychee nor vodka in there. i guess when i had the best lychee martini at new asia bar, my benchmark for this drink/dessert has inevitably became much higher. but at least the one from seventh heaven was really good. it has the distinct lychee liqueur taste, so did the modern tarte lychee from coffee club.
while ice cream is something i love having, i won't specially travel to a place just to eat it since its not a dessert that satisfies me (unless it goes atop a nice waffle or served ala japanese parfait style). but i'll definitely go back to try the other funky flavors like wasabi mango, chilli choc and avocado ice cream if i'm nearby.

So they say that Sunset Way is something like Holland Village. It's less packed with people and there aren't that many shops around (or it could be that I was there at night). But snooping further down the road, into what seems to be a rather ulu area, you'll find The Daily Scoop.
Yeah, there's Island Creamery, Ben's & Jerry's and Haagen Daz. What's so different about The Daily Scoop?
The first time we went there, it was about 9ish and they were cleaning and packing up for the day. We didn't think there'd be any ice cream left and were kinda disheartened that our only dessert reprieve was done for the day.
BUT THEN!
One of the serving crew popped out of their delivery van and took note of our sad puppy-dog-like faces staring into the shop from outside and told us that we could still get ourselves a cone. As long as we weren't dining in.
The two ice-cream monsters each got a Kooky Monster and Strawberry sorbet.
It's heavenly I tell you. I couldn't keep slurping my ice cream. It was chocolatey, gooey and crunchy all mixed in together. The strawberry sorbet was sweet and tart, whatever they had mixed inside, it was a pretty darn good combination.
The next time round when we went there, we had a waffle and a brownie each. Piping hot waffle, you could smell the sweeeeeet sweet mixture as they prepared it and later served it hot and fresh with a dollop of ice cream (which I can't remember since it wasn't me eating it). I had the brownie. Warm and all nicely gooey inside to go with the thick chocolate ice cream I'd requested.
Iced water is free, comes in small cups and you'll have to pour it yourself. The serving crew were really nice, friendly and patient people who handled our childlike curiosity at trying out almost all of the flavours (they have chilli ice cream lor! who eats chilli ice cream?! chilli is like... for sambal prawns and fishball noodles!)!
Thanks a lot guys! You all really rock!
P.S After you're done with your ice cream, go and explore the Cold Storage in the same building. They've got a lot of pretty nifty stuff and especially cereal brands that I can't seem to find in the one that's near my house. Hmm...

Living across the island from the Daily Scoop, its great that they have a free home delivery service every Tuesday, with $50 orders.
Have been ordering from them ever since.
My favourite flavour is the Lychee Martini & the Sunny Strawberry. The Lychee Martini is a mixture of lychee with creamy ice cream. Their ice cream is rather hard and not so sweet. Simply heavenly. $8.80 each tub. :)
