Lava hot chocolate from U.d.d.e.r.s

Lava hot chocolate from U.d.d.e.r.s

Finally, a non ice-cream entry on U.d.d.e.r.s =)

Decided to try their Lava hot chocolate and each cup costs $3.80.

Till now, my favourite chocolate drinks comes from Max Brenner. Somehow or rather, I don't feel so heaty after gulping down their chocolate granite.

U.d.d.e.r.s. also have their chocolate and milk seperated but in this case, the order is alittle wrong. Usually, we add milk to chocolate to control the amount of milk in the drink but in this case, we have to do it vice-versa since the milk is served in a cup while the chocolate chips is in a bowl. Also, we have to add all the chocolate chips into the milk before it turns cold unlike Suckao.

The amount of chocolate is sufficient but I find it too heaty to finish the entire drink on a hot Saturday afternoon. For a price of $3.80, this is pretty worth it as most at this price resort to using chocolate powder but to avoid having a sore throat, I think I will stick to having a cold chocolate frappe from Max Brenner.

I was really excited when I see the chocolate bits with warm milk. Would this be as good as Max Brenner? After drinking it, I doubt so. I personally feel that the milk is not warm enough, they should actually put it over fondue-like cup which warms the milk for a longer period of time.

Also, I felt that the chocolate is not rich enough and is no different from drinking chocolate milk (i.e. the proportion of milk is too much or rather the chocolate bits is too little).

More on U.d.d.e.r.s

Decided to drop by U.d.d.e.r.s for a quick fix of ice-cream. Ta-dah, we had a scoop of Tiramisu and from their liquer section and it costs us a whopping $8.40 since it is a double connoisseur.

Orange Choc Bitters – triple sec, dark chocCome to the Dark Side... Very dark and bitter Belgian chocolate is generously spiced with Triple Sec, an orange liqeur.

Tira-miss-u – authentic italian mascarpone cheese, brandy, cognac... Miss u indeed! One taste of Udders’ interpretation of this classic dessert will leave you pining for more…

This time round we had it without the waffle as we have decided to try their lava hot chocolate. Although I am a fan of cocktails (despite me flushing like a well-cooked lobster and that I get tipsy easily), I don't fancy liquer ice-cream as much as Yuan. Thus, as expected between the only 2 chocolate ice-cream available at U.d.d.e.r.s, I would prefer the ChocoMash over the Orange Choc Bitters (triple sec, dark choc).

As for tiramisu, pretty neutral.

P.S. For those who has guessed it, I frequent Novena pretty often, and thus, I am not a die-hard fan of U.d.d.e.r.s. My favourite is still the macademia brittle from Hagan Dazs.

Also, according to Ice, Tom’s Palette (located at Shaw Leisure Gallery) fares much better in home-made ice-cream but I have yet to try it.

Personally, I feel that U.d.d.e.r.s has the best alcoholic ice-cream. The two flavours today has the rum smell and slightly bitter. It is one of the few ice-cream in which you can feel the strong liqeur with a bitter after-taste. ________________________________________________________________

More on U.d.d.e.r.s

Brought my family to U.d.d.e.r.s after lunch and I am sure glad I have introduced them to this place. Having eaten at Ben and Jerry, Sheraton Towers High Tea buffet, Mingles for ice-cream and waffle, I thought this is the best among the 4, particularly if you like springy and thick waffles with a not-too-sweet ice-cream.

Surprisingly, despite the heat and thus making the shop alittle stuffy, this place does attract a fair share of people on a Deepavali afternoon.

Ordered the Mao Shan Wang (King of Cat Mountain durian) durian ice-cream and apparently, this is considered a better grade than D24, thereby explains a slightly more expensive price. Each scoop of D24 durian ice-cream (premium) costs $3.90 while the Mao Shan Wang ice-cream (connoisseur) costs $5.30. I got my sister to try both back to back and she picked Mao Shan Wang for my grandfather. For more explaination of durians, ieatishootipost has a good coverage of the various types of durians.

Their description for these 2 durian selection,

D24 Durian
Fresh succulent D24
Fresh D24 durian flesh, mushy blobs of it, churned into ice cream.
Need we say more? Pure bliss!

Mao Shan Wang Durian
King of Cat Mountain durian
This is the king of the king of fruits.
Bitter, sweet, pungent, fragrant, complex flavours intertwined into an explosion of durianism.

Apart from the Mao Shan Wang, the strawberry ice-cream receives lots of praises from daddy and grandpa. They can feel the fresh strawberries and “thumbs ups”. This is definitely high recommended…

Strawberry Fields
Only real fresh strawberries
Using only fresh strawberries (feel the texture of the millions of strawberry pits in the ice cream!), this sunny flavour is totally sweet and wholesome.
Guaranteed to please.

Xiang was too ambitious to try their Rum and Rasin, the alcoholic content (3 scoops of Rum & Rasin = 1 can of beer) was too strong for her to handle but she enjoyed the Mango sorbet that she practically licked the bowl clean.

Fresh Mango Sorbet
Only fresh mangoes!!!
Very light and refreshing.
Fresh mango reinterpreted into an oh-so-smooth sorbet.
Udderly healthy and good for you

Lastly, I have the vanilla ice-cream with waffle. Need me to say more?

Vanilla Beanz
Pure vanilla beans
Made only from natural vanilla pods (yes, only the real thing! No essence, extract or artificial flavouring).
We slice the vanilla pods by hand and painstakingly extract the tiny vanilla beans within to make our deliciously fresh, dreamy, creamy Vanilla.
Definitely a must-try for Vanilla purists!

This is a place for good and reasonably priced ice-cream. The texture is oh-so-smooth and the flavours offered by them are of a wide variety and strong due to their generous usage of ingredients. Not too sweet and thus will be liked by most.

Do check out their Slightly Sea Salted Caramel ice-cream for those who fancy salted caramel. It is their nice flavour.

I usually gauged the standard of ice-cream via the flavour, vanilla. With a plain background taste, I personally felt that the texture, smoothness and richness of the ice-cream can be determined more accurately. Personally, the ice-cream are of the lighter note, closer to gelato and I am neutral to it.

With so many flavours in this small and comfy outlet, I have to say I am pretty impressed. Got to try their green tea (not sweet with a slight bitter aftertaste), vanilla (pretty neutral with it, prefered it to be more creamy), lychee martini (refreshing and I would say the amount of liquor present is pretty strong although it is the least among the 8 available flavours) and chocomash (love the mashmallows in it, soft and springy, not frozen).

I like the waffle more though since it has a texture similar to pancake but would be better it is slightly burnt with a sugar coating. Not sweet but just right when accompanied with their ice-cream. Only costs $2.50 on its own and it is definitely worth a try.

I am really impressed by the selection offered by U.d.d.e.r.s. At least 30 flavours offered in this shop. Even Ice Cream with liqueur is ranked according to their alcohol content. After a sampling a few flavours I chose the Rum and Rasin. This, according to their staff, has the highest alcohol content in their shop. Generally their Ice Cream is pretty light, not those creamy sort. You can feel the rum but it is not bitter.
