Taste
German Chocolate Cake -Swiss chocolate ice cream with coconut, walnut pieces, milk chocolate brownie bits and a caramel ribbon - was better than I expected. Big chunks of brownie bits, with small chunks of walnut and a sweet caramel flavour. There was enough chocolate taste to justify it being chocolate - which I might say for some chocolate ice-cream is not the case.
Espresso 'n' cream - A rich combination of extra strength lowfat Jamoca ice cream with chocolate flakes swirled together with creamy lowfat vanilla ice cream - probably my fault for ordering "low-fat', but I was more after the espresso taste and didn't read the low-fat bit until I looked this up on the web. It wasn't the ice-cream though, it was very creamy, but the fake espresso flavour that got me on this one.
Jamoca Almond Fudge - Our own Jamoca ice cream with a chocolate fudge ribbon and roasted almonds - was yum. I have no idea what Jamoca is, but it was nutty and chocolaty, with the almonds adding crunch.
Old Fashioned Butter Pecan - Butter Pecan ice cream with butter-roasted pecans - also great, with a caramel nutty flavour tieing together the ice-cream and the roasted pecans.
Conclusion - stick with the "American" flavours and you will be rewarded.

Look
A happy image with white and pink being the theme. The shops have that kiddy look. They're not going for sophistication here.

$5.80 for a 2 scoops, the stupid guy working there didn't let me use my e-book voucher because 2 scoops is not a "regular" as it said on the coupon. There is no "regular" on the menu, only small or large, at other places like New Zealand natural, their "regular", which is defined on the menu, is actually 2 scoops. So screw him, he only works at an ice-cream parlour anyway. Their customer service points just went straight out the window, and this sort of experience people don't forget.
