Unlike Western ice cream, which is scooped from a tub and served as a spherical ball. All around the world, Kulfi is frozen in molds or tubs and it is served in different shapes and sizes. The texture of the ice cream is another difference between the two. Western ice cream is soft, therefore you can spoon it into your mouth immediately. Whilst Kulfi is much harder and that explains why it is usually served in small pieces. So that you can just pop a piece into your mouth. This is just a simplified explanation of their differences, therefore do visit an India Restaurant or Kulfi Bar to try out this cooler -
I decided to pop into the Kulfi Bar at Little India, to escape from the scorching heat.
*Vegetarian can eat Kulfi because it is not made of egg.
Address:
15 Upper Dickson Road
Closest MRT Station: Little India
A must try on the menu is local fruit flavoured Kulfi: Mango and Lychee Obsession garnished with nuts. I feel that it deserves 4/5 stars even though I dislike Mango!
Traditional Flavour: It has an intense taste and aroma of a cross between Cinnamon and Ginger. Don't bother ordering this flavour if you dislike the taste of these two spices! This Kulfi is made with Cardamom (A plant part of Ginger Family)
