The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory
I can’t wait for Spring to finally kick in! I’m craving for red bean ice cream from…

But since it has been so cold these days, I would rather reach out for hot chocolate or a tall vanilla latte than get a scoop of ice cream!
But boy oh boy, once the warm season kicks in, I’m going to Chinatown Ice Cream factory for my flavor of choice, plus another scoop of green tea ice cream!
Let me tell you, if you are in the mood for creamy ice cream “with a Chinese twist” then this is your go to place. They have ice cream flavors like taro, lychee, almond cookie, black sesame, chocolate pandan, even wasabi and durian!!! Oh yes, going here is liking embarking on an adventure in the world of ice creams! While they have regular crowd pleasers like vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, thrill seekers will revel in the fact that CICF makes ice cream flavors that they cannot find anywhere else that’s for sure!
