Stickhouse, Sunway Pyramid

Yo, yo, yo. Ice-cream in the house. Stickhouse that is. More precisely, Italian Hand crafted Gelato on a stick. Now that's a first. Usually the gelato I ate is scooped then put in a cup or a cone. Stickhouse Gelatos are made with 100% natural and genuine ingredients without the added falvouring, preservatives and colouring. Fresh fruit, milk and cream together with the "Stickhouse Bases" and the decorations, guarantee a healthy, full-bodied product with a persistent taste.

The tasting started already when I reached. I was 15 minutes late. Started with fruit sorbets, Grape, Pineapple and Blueberry? Can really taste the fruit and there's still pulps in the ice-cream.

My favourite is definitely the Hazelnut. You can opt to dip it in dark, milk or white chocolate and nuts of your choice. The chocolate gelato is very rich, I might advise not to dip it in chocolate or the chocolaty taste might be too overwhelming.

Watermelon is very refreshing, lemon is for those that like sourish thingy (once I took a bite, it reminds me of the sour candy back in those high school days).

There are many more flavours to choose from. The last whole stick that I ate is Green Tea. While it's not as rich in tea as I wish it to be, still a nice stick of ice-cream for a hot sunny day.

The ice-creams were freshly made daily.

Choose your dippings and toppings.

Pricing starting from RM 4.90 for a mini, RM 6.90 for classic and RM 8.90 for premium.

Add on dark, milk or white dippings and hazelnut, almond, pistachio toppings. RM 1 for half and RM 2 for full.

This is what a half milk chocolate dipping with pistachio grain green tea Stickhouse Gelato looks like. Cost about RM 9.90.

New batch of Stickhouse ice-cream in the making.

Snacking At Harbour City Mall, Hong Kong

On the 5th day in Hong Kong, after attending my cousin's wedding lunch and eating authentic Yuen Long Poon Choi. A few hours later, my Hong Kong cousin, Elaine asked me out to join her in Harbour City 海港城 just before dinner later at Star House 星光行. I then found out that the reason she asked me there is to eat some snacks before dinner and she won't be able to finish it so I'll be the one to help finish off. Yeah, she only eat a bit of what we had and I finish the rest.

First stop, is Japanese ice-cream from Hokkaido at 3rd Floor City'Super's food court. The kiosk names is Kasho-chaya. The ice-cream is made from milk imported from Hokkaido. There's only two flavours, milk and green tea (macha).

Elaine like the green tea ice-cream here is because the richness of the green tea flavour that still attain the bitter-sweet taste of a tea, unlike some other green tea ice-cream that's only left with sweet taste.

I chose a twister with green tea and vanilla with mochi, red beans and greent tea jelly as condiments. The green tea is really as good as Elaine describe it. The texture is very smooth and soft and the green tea taste is quite rich. As for the milk ice-cream, I can really taste the richness of the Hokkaido milk.

There's green tea jelly at the bottom.

Elaine only ate 1 scoops. I have to sapu the rest.

There are a lot of other food kiosk here but we have limited space in our stomach and dinner time is just two hours away.

Going to another place, Elaine has a sudden crave for french fries. Not any fries but New York Fries.

Elaine asked me whether we have NYF in Malaysia. I told her have Ireland's Potato in Malaysia but not NYF. She then told me that she don't like Ireland's Potato lol. She recommended her favourite New York Fries item, the Italian Job.

Who won't like that melted cheese curd and minced beef in tomato sauce poured on big crispy fries made with USA potatoes, finished with black olives on top. OMG, it's making me drool while writing this. The fries are only prepared once order is placed and not fried and placed that on standby. That's why the fries are crispy and hot.

We chose to devour the Italian Job sitting at an outdoor patio facing the port. Quite a nice way to enjoy piping hot fries at about 15 degree Celsius.

If you are bored with the HK style cafeteria (茶餐厅) while you are in Hong Kong, you can opt to come to Harbour City, there are a lot of nice snacks and food kiosks/shops around. You'll be amaze that in Citi'Super alone there's so many prepared food to choose from.

The Last Polka Ice-cream at The Bee Cafe, Jaya One

Bored with the normal ice-cream flavours? Vanilla is so yesterday, fed up with strawberry and just not in the mood for chocolate. Well, I found just the right place or I meant ice-cream to look for a new excitement in the taste of this cooling dessert. The Last Polka.

Last year joining a food crawl with Nuffnang Glitterati Plus members at Jaya One, our last stop is The Bee Cafe. We come not for food but for The Last Polka ice-cream which is sold here on a consignment basis. Online order is still available at the current moment but I read on The Star Sunday Metro that the ice-cream makers might stop online ordering and focus to partner with cafes and restaurants.

Made with 100% natural ingredients, The Last Polka is a French style ice-cream that is quite different from Italian ice-cream that we called gelato. Lee Ee Vee and Tee May Yee added a few twist in making the ice-cream by introducing some unique and local flavours.

One of the favourite is the Teh Tarik ice-cream. Yes, you read that right. Teh tarik. If you feel like having teh tarik in solid form, this one is a must try. Rich in tea and milk. It's even better than drinking teh tarik in a mamak stall.

My favourite is of course their Guinness ice-cream. Yes, made from Guinness stout. I tasted two cups that day if I remember correctly. Don't worry, I think you won't get drunk by eating too much Guinness ice-cream :p

If you think Guinness ice-cream is weird, then wait till you taste Chocolate Five Spice ice-cream. Made with Chinese cinnamon, cloves, and star anise are just some of the spices we use, along with a generous handful of roasted almonds for a balanced finish. Basically it's what we called 五香粉 in Chinese.

If you are a fan of Nutella, then you'll be happy to know that there's a Nutella ice-cream.

Nutella ice-cream.

Horlicks seems to be a popular flavour used to make ice-cream. I tried Horlicks gelato before in Singapore. The Last Polka's version has more milk in it.

For the list of flavours available, you can check out The Last Polka website.

By the way, a few days ago while I was surfing YouTube I bumped into this video about sighting of mysterious item on a hill top at Ulu Yam. I watched the video and I saw something symbol like a star. Also, when the camera zoom out, I thought I saw something moved in that direction. Try watching it to see if you can see anything out of the ordinary.

Doing a bit of googling, I found a picture about this mysterious item that is near the hill top but the mysterious thing is that this star like symbol is now on the ground. Is it real?

Okay. Mystery aside, you can by The Bee Cafe in Jaya One to try out a scoop or two of this wonderful tasting ice-cream. You can also find The Last Polka ice-cream at Marmalade, Bangsar Village II.
