Have a Blissful Riang Raya with
Sangkaya!
The
coconut ice cream whizz is back this festive season and is rocking up some
local new flavours. Sangkaya is introducing some icy newbies on the block and
it’s a feast of ice cream treats like no other. We visited one of the 23 outlets
recently and was pleased with its list of new cold desserts.
Joining
the festive Blissful Riang Raya mood
are duo of Bandung inspired treats. Tuck into Bandung Bliss (RM12.20), creamy and rosy pink, its frozen Bandung
flavours of rose enhanced with coconut cream. We adored the smoothness of the
ice cream with the classic fragrance of rose, perfect for this festive season.
There’s
also Bandung Blitz (RM9.90), the
rose bandung smoothie that is thick and luscious. A surprising addition of black
grass jelly gave this locally inspired smoothie a lovely textural component and
the scoop of Bandung Ice Cream is deliciously sweet and creamy. Topped with
lots of whipped cream and finished with generous drizzle of rose syrup, it’s
sweet and creamy like our Bandung.
Both
Bandung Bliss and Bandung Blitz is available from the 15th of May till the 31st
of July.
With
our humid and hot weather lately, the Ice
Campur (RM10.90) is the perfect icy treat to cool down the heat. Ice Kacang
given a Sangkaya twist, you get 2 scoops of Sangkaya’s famous Coconut Ice
Cream and 1 scoop of Sangkaya’s new Gula Melaka Ice Cream scooped on a rainbow
concoction of coconut flesh, roasted peanuts, sweet corn, cincau, cendol and
nata de coco. The sprinkling of desiccated coconut added a nice toasty note to
the Ice Campur.
My kind of Ice Kacang… Shiok Giler!

If
you haven’t tried Sangkaya’s latest new flavour of Gula Melaka Ice Cream, you need too! Literally hooked on this
flavour ever since my first taste, the Gula Melaka Ice Cream tasted like frozen
cendol. Adored the luscious richness of caramelized Gula Melaka that is
heighten with lush coconut cream. I can’t get enough of this flavour so much
that I stocked up tubs of it in my freezer!!
There’s
Mango Ice Cream and Kaya Ice Cream on the list too…
More
Malaysian inspired treats and this time, it’s Malaysian Toast (RM6.90)! Rather sad looking but never judge a book
by its cover cos this one is also delicious. Crispy toast sandwiching thick
slices of frozen butter and scoops of Sangkaya’s Kaya Ice Cream proved that
even classics can be made better. The cold buttery goodness with toast and
creamy kaya ice cream works like a charm in terms of flavours and textures.
Heading
West, more goodies appear starting with Fresh
Baked Waffles (RM12.90) with 3 scoops of ice cream of your choice. Golden
crisp and lightly fluffy waffles is the perfect partner-in-crime with ice
creams. Plenty of choices of ice cream to choose from but I personally like the
chocolate and gula Melaka.
There’s
also Ice Cream Cookiez (RM4.90) for
the young at heart. Definitely a childhood treat but elevated to modern times,
you get two thick coconut cookies sandwiching your choice of ice cream. Go with
Sangkaya’s original Coconut Ice Cream or their new flavour Mango Ice Cream.
Either one is equally fresh, creamy and yummy…
There’s
also Chocolate Maniac Series
featuring Chocolate Divinity (RM12.90)
and Chocolate Blitz (RM9.90).
Chocolate Divinity features a large dark chocolate cone with Oreo crusted rim
is filled with 3 scoops of another new flavour Chocolate Royale Ice Cream,
topped with chocolate sauce, peanuts and corn flakes. Chocolate Blitz is dark
chocolate coconut milk shake completed with a scoop of Chocolate Royale Ice
Cream and whipped Coconut Cream.
Sangkaya
has also launched two molten lava cakes. Try the Black Sesame with Salted Egg Molten Cake (RM12.90) or Teh Ijo with Salted Egg Molten Cake
(RM12.90). Both comes with a scoop of ice cream. Soft and fluffy warm molten cakes
with an oozing filling is definitely made even better with cold ice cream for
contrast. Both flavours are decadently rich and creamy.
For
best value deals, aim for Best Giler!
(RM17.90) or Kiasu Platter
(RM32.90). You get a Dark Jumbo Cone with massive scoop of ice cream of your
choice and chocolate sauce together with a regular waffle cone of ice cream and
Gula Melaka sauce to be shared in Best Giler!. The Kiasu Platter feeds a few at
least with a tray of waffle, a molten cake, a pair of cookies and an ice cream
waffle bowl.
