For Malaysians, there’s love for food. There’s love for desserts. And then, there’s love for ice cream. With the local ice cream parlours and brands abound, it is no longer a dream to get the most flavourful ice cream experience that suits our taste buds. Here is a list of 10 local ice cream parlours and/or makers in Malaysia that you should give them a try, if you have not.
1) AEBout Ice Cream
Launched just recently in November 2015, AEBout Ice Cream is the latest addition to the booming café prospects in Sri Petaling. Though this ice cream specialty shop serves artisanal ice cream made in and imported from New Zealand, the owner Nicole makes sure the flavours and quality are more than just satisfying. The prices are also reasonably maintained. Some of the must-tries at AEbout Ice Cream are After Mint and Triple Chocolate.

4) Softsrve
Softsrve is an artisanal ice cream parlour that specialises in creating an unusual soft ice cream experience. While soft serve ice cream is not something new, this shop was one of the earliest ones to start the soft serve hype in town. We totally understand why, given their smooth ice cream texture that’s available in interesting flavours such as red velvet cheesecake and root beer. Softsrve also makes sure your ice cream get served in an Instagram-worthy moment.
5) The Potong Artisan Pops
Remember the good old days waiting for the “potong man” on his bicycle? The humble treat, although limited in variety, brought so much happiness. This is what The Potong Artisan Pops is all about; they bring the Potong experience forward with every handmade popsicle using only 100% fresh natural ingredients with a modern twist on flavours. Their popsicles are also made with no preservatives or any other horrid chemicals.
