FUJIYAMA HOKKAIDO ICE CREAM: ICE CREAM EPISODES

A few weeks ago, The Makan Post adventured to Kuching's famous gula apong ice cream spot to have a taste of that popular trending dessert to locals. This week, we adventure to a place known for a dessert that's somewhat similar to the previous. Yes, it's ice cream, but this time, not a local delicacy but rather, Hokkaido ice cream. It's Fujiyama's Hokkaido Ice Cream located in the Old Bazaar Cafe, selling your favourite Hokkaido flavours for only RM3 per cup.

Fujiyama Hokkaido Ice Cream is still quite new in Kuching's food scene and many still have not discovered of this interesting corner. It's pink banner suggests customers try their Matcha and Hojicha flavours.

Flavours available that day were coincidentally Matcha and Hojicha.

They serve their ice creams in cups, however, Dorayaki ice cream is also available for purchase at RM5. Dorayaki is a soft sweet pancake commonly eaten with ice cream stuffed inside in Japan. Their Dorayaki ice cream is only available during weekends, 8pm onwards.

Besides Hojicha and Matcha, they also have Goma, which is the black sesame flavour. You can also purchase toppings such as cornflakes and rice cakes, also known as dango.

Cute miniature Japanese decorations were placed on top of their counter as well.

There you have it, their specialty, Matcha and Hojicha. Hojicha, which is actually roasted green tea is the brown one as seen in the picture.

The ice cream had a really good texture of a soft serve. It was creamy and smooth, I would say soft, but still maintained its shape.
Both were not too sweet and carried authenticity in flavours. The Hojicha had its roasted tea essence to it which made this a very interesting ice cream flavour. The matcha had a pure bitter taste to it but not overpowering. It was well balanced with the sweetness.



Overall, a pretty decent small corner in Kuching selling authentic Hokkaido ice cream. Now it's your turn to give it a try.

RG AIS KRIM BERGULA APONG : GULA APONG ICE CREAM

Gula apong seems to be the trend recently in Kuching. You know it when you can see cafes and restaurants having gula apong put into almost every dessert. Dessert such as gula apong sponge and cream cakes, gula apong kek lapis, gula apong ice cream, shaved ice gula apong and many more, can be found at almost anywhere in Kuching. Today, we adventure to a famous little spot selling gula apong ice cream located at the open air market, in which you can find a queue for this sweet and delicious cup of dessert almost every night.

Upon reaching RG Ais Krim, there were a few people waiting in line for their ice cream but they were prepared at quite a fast pace which was good, to ease the flow of the queue. Besides the famous gula apong ice cream, they sell cookies and light snacks.

You can choose from 3 toppings for your ice cream. There are peanuts, cornflakes and famous amos cookies.
Here are the sizes.

There are also different flavours of ice cream available on different days.


We decided to go with just the basic plain gula apong ice cream, to taste its originality.

This is the famous gula apong ice cream. Soft served vanilla ice cream was placed onto a plastic cup with gula apong syrup poured onto it.

The ice cream was soft and easy to scoop. However, it had quite a rough texture to it, the type that shaven ice gives you. I would prefer a smoother and creamier and ice cream. This was quite an opposite to the smooth and creamy texture you would normally get from a soft serve.

The gula apong syrup made each scoop of the whole thing really sweet, till it can be quite overpowering. It was glossy and sticky just like honey. You would feel like you're eating really sweet syrup with ice cream, double the sweetness.

Overall, everything was just too sweet for my liking. I am uncertain for why this extremely sweet dessert is actually a hype for many almost everyday. But I guess this would be a favourite for those who have a really sweet tooth.
Come try it for yourself.



RG Ais Krim opens daily with the following times:

Wednesday 5pm to 5am
Thursday to Tuesday 2pm to 5am
