Sunset Gems


"Song Boh? (aka 爽吗?)"


Chiak Ba Boh?

I apologise for not blogging more regularly. Been procrastinating too much recently. Anyways, I mentioned in my last post (see Cze Cha) that if you were to look hard enough, you can find some gems in Sunset way.

This is an ice cream parlour called "The Daily Scoop". As the name suggests, they make their ice cream fresh everyday This little joint can be found deep inside Sunset Way in a stretch of shops after passing under the railway track. All the ice cream are home made and their flavours are pretty exotic. I had Cempedek (Jackfruit) the other day and also Kahlua ice cream! Heard the durian ice cream is not bad too. The ice cream here is smooth and more importantly, not too sweet and doesn't leave an artificial aftertaste. Nice quiet place too, great place for dating couples.

Fatpapa rating: 3 stars out of 5

Off the beaten path. Hey...tell you a secret. Next to this ice cream parlour, there is a nice, small steak restaurant that serves in pretty good stuff. You can come in slippers or dressed to kill, there is something for everyone. There are nice al fresco dining as well as candlelit tables and the food is supposedly done by some celeb chef. Tried once. Not too bad. Nice place to impress the ladies. Nearer to the main road, there is a small cafe that sells excellent chicken pies, quite good actually - Bon Ami i tink it is called...

btw....that's not me up there...
