The Safe Room at Campbell Street, Penang

The night was still young and we wanted to go somewhere. We heard of this place from friends and how they make their ice cream with liquid nitrogen gas. Since we have never tasted such ice cream before, why not go give it a try.

Not sure if it's super crowded that night because it was a weekend or because it was newly opened. Either way, the place is quite small to cater for big group of friends. 

Actually, the place is quite spacious. Maybe they could re-arrange and put more tables and chairs. Just saying.

We waited at the front counter where you place your orders and pay for seats to be available. Soon after that, we got a place and made our order. 

One thing we really love about this place is they really do serve their ice cream with fresh fruits. Coconut is their signature, so that's a must try, right?

Busy night.

Their safe room with love locks all around.

Stood there for a good 15 minutes and watch how they do it.


Coconut Nitro Ice Cream - RM13.90
He says: Creative! I love it.. alternative for coconut ice cream! Haha.. Should try!
She says: I like that they use the fresh ingredients to do their ice creams whether its coconut or strawberries or mango, pineapples and the list goes on. So, that's a bonus point. The must try is coconut and it's yummy. Tasted like coconut ice cream, no biggie. A little too overpriced for me.


Butterscotch Caffe Latte - RM9.90
He says: Not bad not bad. Could be thicker though.
She says: Butterscotch latte, love it. Not overly sweet. Quite difficult to hold the glass though when it's hot.

Coconut Ice Cream at Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram Temple, Lorong Burma, Penang

C O C O N U T. One for you and one for  me.

Nothing is more perfect than few scoops of coconut ice cream on a hot sunny Sunday! NOTHING!

Just to let you all know how we both fell in love with coconut ice cream. It all started when we decided to try the ice cream out at a shop called "Love Locks" which you can find the post HERE. And not long after that, the shop closed down. SO SAD OKAYYY! Then, for few months we went searching in this whole entire island (okay, maybe not whole island but we did went around) to look for coconut ice cream but couldn't find.

And then finally, we found this place and the first time we went there, it was closed because it was her daughter's wedding. So yeah, then this time we went back and SO HAPPY THAT IT WAS OPEN!! SO SO HAPPY!

The stall is in the Burmese Temple along Burma Lane. The moment you step inside, it's on your left.

OH SUCH HAPPINESS LANDED THAT DAY!



Three scoops of homemade coconut ice cream, topped with sweet corn and crunchy nuts - RM2.50
(You can choose to eait it with a cone or even with bread)
He says: I'm a big big fan of coconut ice creams! I'll say this one is just okay though.. The flavour or fragrance of the coconut/santan is not strong enough. But maybe its because of the toppings that covered the richness of the ice cream. Would go back there again because its the only coconut ice cream I know of in Penang but I would not add any toppings on it the next time. 
She says: Best flavour for ice cream ever! This one is not the best we tried but still very yummy. The word I will use to describe it would be REFRESHING! I thought at first the toppings were quite weird to be eaten together, but I kinda love it! The sweet corn together with the peanuts. Yums.
