The Thomson-East Coast Line has been a life saviour for the Ang Mo Kio residents by bringing the comfort of Mayflower MRT station to the Mayflower neighbourhood. Just 1 minute away from the practice station is F.I.C.— providing fried ice cream and Vietnamese bites.
F.I.C. is an acronym that stands for fried ice cream, a dessert dish that we don’t generally come throughout in Singapore. We see the same old pairing of waffles and ice cream at most cafes however coming throughout one other variation is uncommon. It may very well be the problem of executing fried ice cream completely that scares most enterprise house owners, however the proprietor of F.I.C. cleverly introduced it into Singapore. Lucky for us!
Unlike common air-conditioned ice cream cafes the place we often search solace away from the warmth on a scorching day, F.I.C. is an open-air eating institution as a substitute. Perhaps, they consider that the one option to discover solace is thru having their creamy ice-cold desserts!
Coming from private expertise… I’ll give a phrase of warning that it’ll be actually troublesome to withstand a cup of fried ice cream while you’re right here.
We tried their Biscotti Biscotti (S$5.45) and Mango Tango Fried Ice Cream (S$5.45). Right off the bat, these appear to be Korean desserts. Served with a mountain of toppings, they nearly like miniature variations of bingsu to me!
Unlike deep fried fritters, the ice cream was fried in a skinny spongy batter that added a further crunch issue to the expertise. This was a nice shock to me, because it wasn’t oily in any respect. Instead, the dessert broke right into a creamy consistency of vanilla ice cream that complemented the steaming sizzling batter.
We all know that desserts which have each cold and warm elements all the time serve with out fail, and F.I.C. created a easy but creative dessert that’s so scrumptious.
Aside from desserts, F.I.C. additionally doubles up as a Vietnamese restaurant. After making an attempt out their ice cream, it’s a identified proven fact that creativity is up their alley. Thus, we determined to strive the Mentaiko Crabmeat Paper Pizza (S$3.80).
I’ve heard of skinny crusts on pizzas, however I’ve by no means come throughout papered-pizzas, so this was positively new to me. They use rice roll papers (those that you simply use to make Vietnamese rice rolls) as a makeshift pizza crust. Well, like all rice rolls, these had been very mild. So should you’re seeking to fill your abdomen, I reckon these are higher off as a snack!
If not, you may as well check out their sizzling meals, reminiscent of Plum Lemon Chicken Wings (S$7.95), Bak Kwa Salad (S$5.45), and plenty of different fascinating bites.
