The Ais Artisan Ice Cream, Damansara Uptown, Petaling Jaya

Other than hipster cafes, it looks like ice cream cafe is the "in-thing" too. We visited one, not too long ago at the over-crowded Damansara Uptown.

I love their cute, little logo. The shop is above The Library Coffee Bar, which is under renovation by the way.

As we walked up to the first floor, we were greeted by the cosy cafe, with view over the outdoor carpark and office buildings.

They have a large book shelf at a corner and saw a few interesting titles, one which caught my eye.

When we were there, there were only two other customers around. There's a mix of local ice-cream flavours and one liquor ice-cream. Some of the unique ones are Horlicks KitKat, Sweet Potato, Volcano, Matcha Oreo and Gula Melaka. You are welcome to ask for a free tasting before deciding on the flavour.

If you are wondering if they have other types of dessert other than ice-cream, yes they do. There's affogato, coconut dream and yogurt delight.

I finally decided on rum raisin, volcano and gula melaka. We got caught off guard when we were served. We expected to be in a cup but they serve it on a plate and somehow, we might have over ordered again, hahahaha...

Volcano, Gula Melaka and Rum Raisin RM 22.50

Volcano ice-cream has a unique flavour sweet and spicy. You can taste hint of chili and it gets spicy after few spoonful. I find it nice that it has a kick to it. I've tried gula melaka (brown sugar) in another ice-cream cafe before and I find that Ais's version is more distinct, which I like. Rum raisin is equally good too with strong flavour of rum.

Would I recommend you coming here? Yes, for selected flavours and weekends only since parking is almost impossible on a working day, unless you come after 7pm.
