Mathilda's Gelato Ice Cream Delivery [Sponsored]

 "When I'm no longer rapping, I want to open up an ice cream parlour and call myself Scoop Dogg."
-Snoop Dogg

When even Snoop Dogg says that, you know life is better with ice cream. 

Offering 100% handmade ice cream, gelato, sorbet and frozen yoghurt in both local and exotic flavours, Mathilda's Gelato Ice Cream Delivery brings to us over 40 different flavours of low-fat, gluten free frozen treats with perfected recipes, all ready to be delivered to our doorsteps within 1 hour of purchase!

At Mathilda's, all their products are freshly made daily using only high quality and fresh ingredients, having sourced their milk and cream from cruelty free dairy farms so as to obtain good quality milk from happy cows!

And here's the 4 yummy flavours I've decided to try out first. There's still a handful of really yummy sounding flavours I'll love to try, but some of them are (sadly) currently OOS and my freezer isn't big enough to store all the ice creams/gelatos/sorbets I wanna get too.

And yup, they're delivered really well frozen. In fact, my freezer (on the 1st day of receiving these yummies) was kind of overloaded and they actually "froze up SOFTER" in my freezer overnight. 

Freezer fail. T.T

Black Sesame Ice Cream - $16.90

To get this luxurious mouthfeel and richness of flavours, we only use premium Japanese goma, that’s carefully roasted at optimal temperatures to get maximum flavour. The robust flavours of the roasted black sesame enhance the ice cream, with the addictive fragrant nuttiness tempting you to take one bite after another. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

It was quite a strange feeling at first bite, like I was eating frozen zhi ma hu (chinese dessert, black sesame soup). Yes, the goma taste in this ice cream is legit. 

And then, the more you eat, the more the strangeness grows on you. I mean, if you're a fan of sesame soup for its fragrant nutty flavour, just imagine eating them icy cold on a hot day. 

THIS IS IT.

Peanut Butter Ice Cream - $14.90

Our creamy, chunky peanut butter ice cream provides a salty-sweet option for those that want to indulge in a cold, delicious treat, but have less of a sweet tooth. The contrasting flavours are so addictive, we recommend you get two pints just to be safe!

If you're a (sweet) peanut butter fan like me, you absolutely gotta try this. Similar to the case of the Black Sesame, this was just like eating peanut butter (the good quality, creamy and sweet kind) straight out of the jar, but frozen solid. The usual slight saltiness of the roasted peanuts hits you at first bite. And then the sweetness emerges as the frozen treat melts creamily in your mouth. If you can ever find an ice cream that's moreish, this is it. 

I could only hope that this is not as fatty (and caloric dense) as real peanut butter, huh!

This will probably be the most legit ice cream flavour to use for these old school ice cream bread "sandwich". I haven't tried it out myself, but seeing that I still have half pint of the ice cream left to go, I might just try it out myself! 

Speculoos Ice Cream - $14.90

A recent sleeper-hit, our Speculoos ice-cream uses generous amounts of the beloved Biscoff biscuits, for the spiced caramel kick that’s been taking everyone by storm! The hints of cinnamon and brown sugar provide a fragrant, delicious twist to the creamy base, and the crumbled biscuit chunks are a welcome addition — creating a nice crunchy bite!

Hello, it's Speculoos.... Biscoff! Need I say more? You don't even need me to say any thing more to know it's good. Especially love the additional of the biscoff biscuit bits (but crushed a little too small; unavoidable during mixing, I reckon?) in the ice cream for the addictive crunchy bite! 

Salted Caramel with Almonds Ice Cream - $14.90

The amalgamation of flavours and textures are sure to please your tastebuds! The salty sweet caramel swirls around on your tongue, while the crunch of our top quality almonds provides a nice change in texture, while adding a welcome nuttiness to the creaminess of the ice cream.

Somehow, this feels like a mish-mash (or you can also say, somewhere in between) of Peanut Butter and Speculoos. They're pretty generous with the almond bits, and you're sure to taste a few in every bite of the ice cream, but rather than packing the strong nutty fragrance and crunch of roasted almonds, they're more like baked almond instead, in both the fragrance and texture.

Mia's Review: Seventh Heaven

Yup, this is a super super super belated post! SL and I visited Seventh Heaven located at Orchard Central for some sweet treats on the same day we visited Sarang for dinner. *sheepish grin* 

Nevertheless, here's the review. :)

 We got for ourselves one of the pancakes - The Orchard

and a mudpie - Mile High Mud Pie

And we were pretty unfortunate to have no serving sample view from other existing customers, for their servings are ginormous!

This is my mile high mud pie, and it's literally 'mile high'. Totally jaw-dropped at the serving. There is as good as 3 full gelato scoops of vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter hidden in the thick rock hard chocolate coating. And due to the ice cream, the chocolate pretty much remains frozen and I had a hard time breaking it up to get to the ice creams within. The chocolate coating was relatively thick, with a rich sweet and creamy chocolatey taste. Definitely not some 'cheapskate' chocolate.
Upon breaking the chocolate coating, I was greeted upon with the white creamy goodness of the French vanilla ice cream. The taste of the French vanilla ice cream has a much stronger vanilla fragrance and slightly sweeter as compared to other vanilla ice cream. I kind of like it, but it wasn't to SL's liking though.
After tasting the vanilla ice cream, we 'hack' off more pieces of the frozen chocolate coating to reveal the peanut butter ice cream beneath it. I'll say the peanut butter was a pleasant surprise. I'm not really a fan of peanut butter jam at all, but I kind of like this ice cream. It tasted like an ice cold, creamy version of the peanut butter cracker my mother used to buy in large family pack from the supermarket. However, it might be too much to finish up the entire amount of ice cream stacked in this mud pie. Well actually, this entire mud pie by itself is just too much.
Well, moving on, we're just left with the chocolate ice cream. And seriously speaking, need I say more? Who will hate chocolate ice cream?

And to be brutally honest, don't ever try to order one for yourself. Get someone to share it with you, TWO (ladies) to ONE dessert only. Or else, you'll end up with the same sorry mess on the table as SL and me.

And I apologise for the gross sight. :p

Next up, is The Orchard pancakes ordered by SL. It's quite a pretty looking dessert, if not for the sorry glob of half meltedwhipped cream that was sliding down the warm pancakes. We had a race against time to snap a decent picture of the dessert before the whipped cream completely slides off the pancake, bringing the poor cherry along with it. HA HA HA!
The pancakes are warm, thick and dense. Oh well, not that much to my liking for I'll prefer soft fluffy kinds like a Japanese hotcake. I remember there were 3 pieces of pancakes served, so ladies with smaller appetite might wanna drop by for their pancakes in threes. :)
Their 'heap of fresh fruits' were mainly apples (red and green), pears and a few pretty tasteless grapes. I personally didn't find the fruits exceptionally fresh, especially when the speedy oxidation problem of the apples pretty much gave me a biased judgement of un-freshness with the yellowish brown surface, which can already be seen in this picture taken when it was served.
The scary mess of brownish red wedged between the stack of pancakes and cut fruits is the fruit compote, which SL and I believed to be made mainly from berries. But of course, we could be wrong. So do let me know the correct answer to it in the comment board if you happen to know. And this is a perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover, for both SL and I liked it! It was sweet and slightly tangy, my favourite taste of all desserts. The texture is a mix between runny and gooey, with many bits of finely chopped/mashed up fruits to add on a barely there bite to it. It's good to be eaten in generous heap on top of the warm pancakes, or carefully savoured in bit by bit on the tip of the fork.
And fortunately for SL, who didn't like the French Vanilla Ice Cream, the pancake was served with a generous scoop of their chocolate ice cream instead of the French Vanilla as stated in the menu.
The staff must have overheard her saying that she didn't like the French Vanilla! *rofl*

And lastly, do I need to comment on their price? I'll say that it's actually very inexpensive, for 1 order actually serves minimum 2 pax. :)

And there's also this separate piece of menu with their organic herbal tea list. I didn't order any to try for it was already quite late and I just had my Yuzu tea at Sarang minutes ago. But looking at it right now, I'll definitely for the Soothing Throat. *cough cough*

 

And there's Seventh Heaven details here FYI. 

Till then,
