If you are into gelato based ice-cream, this is not an ice-cream parlour to be missed. The gelato served here is really good and you can taste the freshness in every scoop of the ice-cream. Each spoonful is packed with flavour and from what I was told the shop owner does not recycle the unsold ice-cream. The red velvet gelato has a deep red colour which looks a bit like beetroot and has a lingering dry chocolaty aftertaste flavour.

Apart from pre-selected ice-cream flavours, you can also mix and match your choice of ice-cream here. First you have to choose your base which consists of gelato, ice-cream or soy based for those who are lactose intolerant. Then you can choose what type of flavour you want the ice-cream to be made of. Lastly you choose toppings for your ice-cream to finish it up. One of the recommendations that I got from the staff to try is the nutella with nut chopping’s. It was very rich and the chocolaty and tasted a bit like Ferro Roche chocolates.

One of the newest ice-cream cafes to enter the market is this ice-cream maker. Instead of the conventional way of serving ice-cream, you can see the ice-cream being made on the spot with the use of liquid nitrogen to flash freeze the ingredients. I tried the strawberry cheesecake ice-cream with gelato as my base. The ice-cream was quite smooth and not too sweet but the strawberry jam was not mixed well as it was poured in after the ice-cream mix was done.

Nutella is not only the unique ice-cream flavour sold at the last polka. Some of the bizarre flavours I have seen or tasted here is the French toast, Guinness, strawberry cake and salted gula Melaka. The salted gula Melaka reminded me of salted caramel from Cielo Dolci except that the gula Melaka leaves a bittersweet aftertaste on the tongue. The Guinness is also quite unique as it tasted exactly like the draught.

Ice-cream has always been one of my favourite desserts and I will not hesitate to try out new variations of ice-creams from different vendors. One of the first flavours that I tried is the nutella ice-cream. I find the ice-cream quite rich and milky giving the ice-cream a slightly rough texture. The price charged by the last polka is quite expensive considering the size of the cup of ice-cream you get.
