Something I never really outgrew was my love for Ice Cream. Even at my age right now, whenever I see a stall, or Ice Cream in the menu.. Whether it's a Pie Ala Mode, A Frozen Ice Cream cake, or even just a simple scoop, you can be assured that I'll have my eyes on it. Sundaes, Parfaits, Milkshakes.. You name it, I love it.
One of my favorite discoveries during our many trips to Mercato Centrale, is without a shadow of a doubt, "Merry Moo: Artisan Ice Cream". If you think this is just your average-ordinary-run-of-the-mill ice cream maker that features common flavors, such as Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry, you're in for a big surprise.
Merry Moo's carousel of flavors actually borders closer to the insane than the mundane.
Merry Moo's carousel of flavors actually borders closer to the insane than the mundane.
According to their Chief Ice Cream Officer, Kelvin Ngo, the idea of Merry Moo was churned from Kelvin's frequent trips to visit his girlfriend in Singapore. In one of those trips, his cousin led him to a small home-made ice cream shop that sells exceptional, unique and creative ice cream, with flavors ranging from "Durian" to "Te Tarik Tea". Being a foodie himself, Kelvin was excited in tasting all the different concoctions.
From there, the idea of Merry Moo was born.
Merry Moo's flavors are usually inspired from personal
experiences with food; following food
trends through books, blogs, and food trips here and abroad. Their customers are
also a source of inspiration where they give out valuable suggestions on new
flavors and tweaking current flavors.
Take one good guess what my favorite flavor is?
CANDIED BACON
Because everything is better with bacon…
Earl Grey Tea
A very special blend of Chinese tea leaves with citrus bergamot
Poprocks and Mallows
Popping surprise in your mouth with added roasted marshmallows
for the inner kid in everyone
Sea Salt Caramel
Light sea salt and slow-cooked caramel, the contrast is surprisingly good
Strawberry Basil
A refreshing combination of fruit and herb
Other flavors include:
Coffee Kahlua, Milo, Cookies & Brownies, Strawberry Shortcake, Honey Almond Choco, Belgian Chocolate, Honeycomb, Toasted Almond Choco, Poprocks & Mallows, French Vanilla
