Iced cream=Ice cream

VedaBlu...the Fererro Rocher and the Belguim Chocolate blew my mind off..it was simply delicate and cheaper compared to Haagan Dazs.

Was thinking when does this parlour would come to Western M'sia??? Who would resist an extra delicacy to your life?






Small history of iced cream:


the word ice cream was originated from "iced cream",a frozen dessert made from dairy producs, combining with sweeteners and flavouring.


Ice cream was called The Great American Dessert, and it's origin can be traced back to a least 4th century B.C. The Roman emperor ordered ice to be brought down from mountains and topped with fruits to serve for he royalties. And, in China during the Shang dynasty, the method of creating ice and milk concoctions was invented. Ice cream was likely brought from China back to Europe. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.

My last winter visit to Italy, being welcomed by Italian Gelato, a more denser and flavourful ice cream.

My personel fav, Italian Gelato


Facts of Gelato:

Gelato, much is still hand-made by individual gelateria. Italian ice cream is made from whole milk, eggs, sugar, and natural flavorings. Gelato typically contains 7-8% fat, less than ice cream's minimum of 10%.

Order your heart's content

1. Bitter Gourd or a more delicate term Balsam Pear stuffed fish ball
2. 叉烧包 Char Siu Bao - Chinese Steamed Pork Buns ( + turnip)
3. 菜糕 steamed Dumpling with Vegetable Filling
4. 梅菜包 Mei Chai Bao - Chinese salted leaves Bun


Dim sum is one of my favorite dish back home. Literally it's translated from the Chinese word "点心",or the traditional chinese "" , meaning "dotted hearts" in Mandarin, and "touched heart" or "order your heart's content (by Wikipedia)" in Cantonese . So, when you look at the dishes, it makes all sense, the delicate molding and shaping skill would easily win your heart out and keep you mouth watering. Dim sum was originated from GuangDong, China, where it was served in teahouses along the main roads where the merchants, travelers, farmers stopped by for naps or tea.
Now, the Dim sum is served by a trolley wheeled by waitresses and waiters around or you can order from the menu. Usually the serving is small, 4 or 2 pieces in a dish. And the pricing are based on the sizes, quantity, or the color of the plate serving the dish.


Eating at a Dim sum restaurant in Malaysia is not costly, yet it's a must-go. It's been a trend for families and friends to gather at a Dim Sum restaurant or teahouses as early as 5am, or after a morning exercise, often enjoying with newspaper reading. Some goers prefer to call it for a brunch, as most restaurants serve Dim sum till noon.

The above were the dishes which me and mum ordered, plus a pot of tea = RM 12.50 only
