Whenever I'm in Japan, I devote a majority of my time pigging out on as much soft serve ice cream as humanly possible. There is something about their soft serve ice cream that is beyond any thing in the world of ice creams.Cremia is one that is particularly eye catching. Found any where in Japan that sells ice cream from the Nissei company, the soft serve has a signature wavy sharp point along with a crisp tuile cone. But now you don't have to experience this in Japan. Tsim Sha Tsui now serves
Cremia is one that is particularly eye catching. Found any where in Japan that sells ice cream from the Nissei company, the soft serve has a signature wavy sharp point along with a crisp tuile cone. But now you don't have to experience this in Japan. Tsim Sha Tsui now serves this!
Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, in the new Okashi Land Gallery, is a take away counter for ice cream. Menu is in Chinese and English. There is no 10% service charge and it's clearly for take away. Order and pay at one end and pick up at another. Along with Cremia, they also have other soft serve from their Nissei line but more of the chocolate, matcha and fruit varieties. At the moment, they do not have pear so I had something else.
Unlike Japan where there is only one version of Cremia (that is regular Hoikkaido milk), Hong Kong has durian, matcha and chocolate. This is in the form of sprinkle of powder on top. Not interested at these flavor combinations AT ALL, I ordered a regular to see how it compared to the ones I had in Japan.
It definitely looked exactly like the display. And taste? It was exactly like the ones in Japan. Smooth and creamy. Like licking cold hard whipped cream. It melted quickly so don't eat slowly. The tuile cone was crispy and a great combination with the super creamy ice cream.
When I arrived, it was on a weekday afternoon and there was no one in line. But after dinner when I walked by it again, there was a huge line so we didn't bother to buy again that day. But I'd definitely be back whenever I have craving for luscious Japanese ice cream.
