For the last few months we’ve been indulging our obsession with all things frozen while taking a survey of KL’s ice cream offerings. Last month we brought you homegrown scoops and pops including Forty Licks, The Last Polka, Pops Malaya and Sangkaya.
There’s plenty more where that came from and with that in mind we bring you part two of our ice cream feature. Read on to find out what else the Klang Valley has to offer!
The Potong Artisan Pops
If you grew up in Malaysia, chances are that the humble aiskrim potong was a part of your childhood. Over at The Potong, they’re aiming to bring back those nostalgic moments with a product that embodies those good ol’ days, with a twist on beloved flavours. The sweet gourmet popsicles include flavours like Cherry Root Beer, Nutty Choc and the one and only Musang King paired with fresh coconut milk. For those that desire a little kick with their stick, grab one of the booze pops, made with everything from vodka to Cointreau.

Inside Scoop
Irresistibly melt-in-your-mouth and packed with flavour, Inside Scoop was one of the pioneers of KL’s artisanal ice cream revolution, having started churning operations back in 2013. Up to 70 flavours are on rotation from outlet to outlet, and these are all produced fresh on site. The intriguing selection ranges from souped-up classics like vanilla bean and Valrhona chocolate, to kopi peng (iced coffee), cempedak (jackfruit) and, of course, durian. Inside Scoop outlets are dotted around KL, just head to the website to discover the locations.

Fat Baby Ice Cream
Fatbaby prides itself on making 100% pure ice cream using premium milk, sugar, cream and egg yolks. All artificial additives, preservatives and stabilisers have been sworn off, and what you get are lush scoops that coat your palate in perfectly balanced layers. Favourites here include the Hazelnut Coffee and Caramel Brownies, both of which are heavenly when served atop a homemade waffle. They also do an amazing Meringue Nest if you like a bit of crunch with your sweet. Fatbaby is available at several outlets across the Klang Valley, plus the centrail HQ in Subang Jaya.

Softsrve Ice Cream & Dessert Bar
If you’re looking for a silky smooth scoop, look no further than Softsrve. Inspired by the Korean soft serve craze, one of the claims to fame of this place is the cereal milk flavour which comes topped with caramelised cornflakes for a match made in heaven. Opposites attract as they say, and another must-try here is the churros, a delight to have with the ultra-soft ice cream. The homemade dipping sauces are mouth-watering too! Head to Damansara Utama or Pavilion KL to indulge in Softsrve.
