Was going around 313@Somerset when we had came across the hoardings set up for an establishment named Van Diemens Land Creamery during their phase of renovations — Van Diemens Land Creamery occupies a kiosk space at Basement Three (3) of 313@Somerset; these folks had taken over the former premises of the now-defunct outlet of KOOKS Creamery. Having started operations in late June 2026, this is Van Diemenso Land Creamery’s very first outpost situated in Singapore — an establishment that had been founded in Tasmania, Australia, Van Diemens Land Creamery does run a Cafe & Factory outlet as well as another cafe outlet there. Occupying just a kiosk space at 313@Somerset, patrons whom wish to sit down to enjoy their ice-cream can consider using the communal seating space provided by the mall within close proximity to the food stalls at the same level. For their outlet in Singapore, Van Diemens Land Creamery offers quite a variety of flavours in their display fridge which includes a number of pretty unique flavours; all that whilst allowing patrons to opt for their ice-creams to be served in cups or with cones — beverages available would include the likes of tea, espresso-based specialty coffee and drinking chocolate.

Skimming through the different flavours of ice-cream that they offer for the day stocked in the display case, we found ourselves going for the Double Scoops option going for both the Pepperberry & Leatherwood Honey Ice-Cream and the Peach & Lemon Myrtle Ice-Cream. What really caught our interest was the use of Pepperberry in the Pepperberry & Leatherwood Honey Ice-Cream; a berry of Tasmanian origin which we had definitely not come across previously even outside of ice-cream parlours as well. Whilst it is known to carry a spicy and numbing sensation not dissimilar to that of Sichuan pepper, we did find that the emphasis here when it came to the use of Pepperberry was more for its sweet and fruity notes that would gel well with the slightly musky notes of the Leatherwood Honey that adds a floral sweetness — overall, a very unique flavour that one would not be able to experience to say the least. Meanwhile, the Peach & Lemon Myrtle features a slight citrus-y notes that was slightly refreshing on its own, but also does carry a hint of sweetness from peach — both notes being on the lighter side and compliments each other without either being particularly stark. One thing we do love about their ice-cream is its smooth texture and mouthfeel where it was creamy and slightly dense without too much air being introduced into it during the folding process — very rich, but not particularly jelak at the same time.
