Was passing through Upper Serangoon Road just slightly further down towards the direction of Potong Pasir and noticed a fairly unfamiliar sight within the area. EK Creamery does seem like a fairy new addition to the neighborhood — these folks are located in the corner shophouse that is located at 997 Upper Serangoon Road; the previous tenant of the space before EK Creamery being a Ms Black Bean 黑豆浆小姐 that used to serve up Black Soya Bean beancurd. EK Creamery does seem to have enclosed the shophouse unit with walls and glass doors; the interior of the shophouse now being air-conditioned though the only dine-in area would be the high table with high stools located outside the shophouse along the five foot way. As its namesake suggests, EK Creamery is an ice-cream parlour; the establishment offers a decent variety of ice-cream flavours which patrons can opt to enjoy in cups, cones or with a waffle — there is also a limited variety of toppings available as well.
Skimming through the display chiller for the various flavours that they have to offer, we found ourselves ending up with a Double Scoop — one scoop of the Macadamia Ice-Cream and one scoop of the Peach Oolong Ice-Cream; we initially did specify our order to come with Camellia Oolong Ice-Cream rather than Peach Oolong Ice-Cream, though the folks behind the counter had served us the wrong flavour and we decided to just go along with it anyway. Both flavours do seem to be pretty on-point — this is especially so since we weren’t really expecting much with the ice-cream sold at EK Creamery; the ice-creams here seem to carry a stickier texture that somehow brings them closer to being a gelato. The Macadamia would definitely appeal to those preferring nuttier notes; this one carried that signature nuttiness that one would find with Macadamia whilst carrying an adequate level of sweetness — definitely something a little different from the usual Hazelnut / Pistachio flavours that are more commonly found outside. The Peach Oolong definitely came tasting very close to the commercially-made bottled Peach Oolong teas with a prominent fragrance of Oolong tea in its finishing notes; also being suitably sweet. Its location does seem a little challenging given the lack of indoor seating and being a little out of the way, though probably a spot to be appreciated by residents around it in time to come.
