Sherlene SoonWith the opening of its 4,000th international outlet on our sunny island, Baskin-Robbins had our favorite Sarong Party Girl (SPG), Barbarella from satirical TV comedy series The Noose, host its grand opening at one of its 2 outlets, Velocity@Novena Square.
Thanks to Scoop & Scoop Pte Ltd, Singaporeans finally get to enjoy the delicious range of Baskin-Robbins ice cream without the hassle of traveling to Malaysia. With 31 different flavors and an additional flavor of the month, you’ll be spoilt for choices.
That’s not all, these 31 flavors won’t be there all the time. Baskin-Robbins has come up with the clever idea of rotating a few flavors every month just so the customers will have something new to try every visit. With more than 1,000 flavors in its library, you wonder how they’ll get to try every single flavor developed.
Baskin-Robbins generously hosted a shake-making competition and gave everyone at the grand opening a chance to create their own ice cream shake, offerting prizes for the most creative yet toothsome ones. The guests got to pick any 3 flavors out of the 32 available and try their own creations, which would be judged by Barbarella. You can create your own shake too at any of the 2 outlets for just $9.50. Some of the more creative shakes included sorbet flavours like Citrus Twist Ice and Mango sorbet. I wouldn’t suggest trying that though, it’s only for the daring. Either that or you must really love sorbet with milk.
Guess what else is so special about Baskin-Robbins in Singapore? We can proudly boast to our neighbors that we have items on our menu that is exclusively sold only here. Sundaes like the “Berry Brownie Good Waffle Sundae” and “Berry-Kissed Banana Waffle Sundae” are entirely unique to Singapore just to commemorate the 4000th store opening in our sunny island.
Getting a headache over which flavour you should try first? Just go ahead and ask their friendly staff for a free taste. Baskin-Robbins gives a big spoonful of ice cream just for their customers to try.
Need more recommendations? My personal favourite is a surprisingly unpopular flavor in Malaysia, which is gaining quite a bit of popularity in Singapore already. Try out Caramel Turtle Truffle on your first visit and I bet you’ll be going back for more soon enough! Here are the favorite flavours of other people that UrbanWire polled:
Barbarella, President of the SPGs – Crimson Passion Sorbet (June’s Flavor of the month)
Viron, 9-year-old – Chocolate Mousse Royale
Amelia, 19-year-old student – Citrus Twist Ice
Vivian, 29-year-old PR executive – Pralines ‘N Cream
Venice, 35-year-old mother – Old Fashion Butter Pecan
No one can resist the goodness that Baskin-Robbins has to offer. With the internationally famous quote, “We sell fun, not ice cream” by Irv Robbins, I can assure you no matter how old you are, you’ll definitely find fun at their stores.
Baskin-Robbins is located at Velocity@Novena Square, #01-72/73 and Clementi Mall, #04-K1/K2.
