When I was down under for a holiday a couple of years back, my SIL recommended this ice creamery called “Cold Rock“. The concept is basically this:
1. Pick your ice cream flavour
2. Pick your “mix ins” (from a range of chocolate, cookies, and lollies)
Then watch as they blend your “mix ins” into your ice cream scoop over a cold plate (yup, it’s exactly like a hot plate but it’s cold) to create one seriously cool ice cream.
It’s a pretty neat concept.
Recently, I discovered that the Cold Rock concept that come to Malaysia. It’s here at Baskin Robbins, Pavillion branch. Actually I saw it probably about a week before at some other ice cream store but I can’t seem to recall where (that’s the problem with losing your memory after having a baby). I think it was at The Curve but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t one of the regular ice cream brands.
The original concept of mixing sweets into ice cream began in the US with a company called Cold Stone Creamery whose history dates back to 1988. Cold Rock only appeared in Australia some 8 years later in 1996, however, Cold Rock appears to be hitting international waters because I’ve discovered they now have a store in Holland Village, Singapore.
I’ve only tasted Cold Rock once, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. As for whether the Cold Rock copy-cats here are as good - well, I still have the pleasure of sampling them to find out so watch this space…
