Marvelous Cream: New dessert in town!



If you have been walking across Citylink Mall for the past few months, you will notice this under renovation ice cream shop at the Suntec City end with nice looking desserts as its wallpapers. Last month, the franchise which hailed from Japan finally opened its door and wowed many by-passers with its brightly-lit decor and tempting pictures/models.




Marvelous Cream sells mainly 3 types of desserts. One is its original creations of pre-fixed ice cream, 2nd is a DIY creation from its wide choices of ice creams and add-ons, and 3rd is its selections of parfaits(par-FAY), which according to Wikipedia refers to "French parfait, frozen custard made with cream, and usually with a fruit puree" or "American parfait, a tall glass filled with ice cream, layered with various syrups, topped with whipped cream and a cherry." In this case, I think Marvelous Cream was selling both types.

We chose one of the original creation for the night, and the show begins!



First the base ingredients, belgium chocolate ice cream and banana were put onto the freezing stove.



Banana chopped up and put onto the flatten ice cream, sprinkled with hazelnut bits.



Thoroughly mixed and "fried"



Drizzled with whipped cream and chocolate sauce


Banana Belgium Chocolate in Waffle Bowl ($6.50)

And the end product! Rich in chocolate and not too sweet, with bits of banana and hazelnut to nibble on. Dipped with crunchy waffle pieces, a good one for the sweet tooth! Tends to melt abit fast though, a sign of quality ice cream? Will definitely be back to try its parfaits!
