Before, when I went to Chinatown to eat, it was to have some Chinese food, but it did not include ice cream, until now. We discovered the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory thanks to our friends Gary and Jen, after a brunch at Tartinery that left us hungry for something sweet. We went twice and each time, the place was busy.
What makes it stand out? They have been making homemade ice cream for more than 30 years. But not just your regular flavors, like the vanilla I tried once with Nutella.

And once without:
No, some combinations are quite interesting, like the durian, this Asian fruit I tried many years ago in Singapore and that you can find in stores in Chinatown.
In Singapore, at the time, it was forbidden to carry it in public transportation or to bring it to the hotel because of its pungent smell. I remember that we ate it after putting plastic bags on our hands so they would not smell...
The taste was good, particular but good and indescribable.
So there, at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, they sometimes have ice cream made with durian. Sometimes not, because they vary the flavor for the joy of their customers avid to try uncommon flavors. And I am definitely one of them!
Enjoy (I did)!
