Baskin-Robbins, better known for their "31 Flavors," is a franchise of ice cream stores from California that I haven't been to in a long time. In fact, it's been so long that I think that this is the first time that I've seen their new logo. Some things haven't changed though: my favorite of the 31 flavors has always been the Mint Chocolate Chip...and in a cup instead of a cone (I think it is just more of that mental conditioning that I got as a kid). The ice cream is refreshing, using only very thin pieces of chocolate in it instead of anything too brawny. They still have the pink spoon too.
We've got Ben & Jerry's out in Singapore now, but not 31 Flavors. Then again, there is always the S$1 (US$0.60) ice cream carts out on the street, which are surely much cheaper than the US$2.50 single scoops here.
baskin robbins has loads of outlets in malaysia!
ReplyDeletehaven't tried the franchise in the states, so can't do much of a comparison though
Eh not in Singapore for such a long time?? For good???
ReplyDeletedang man! why did they move away from Singapore?!
ReplyDeletehi travelling hungryboy, i'm the opposite.i'm a singaporean now in CA,Bay Area.
ReplyDeletei've tried marble slab creamery and cold stone in the bay area. i felt it is better (texture, creaminess) than those ice-cream chains in SG such as Hagen Daaz.
Hey Hungryboys, Baskin n Robbins 31 also have many outlets in Jakarta, infact u should come n visit Jakarta for awhile, aside from bad traffic, they hv plenty of hotspot for gourmet lover.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I have eaten Mint Chocolate Chip since I was kid also. I don't stray much......maybe a couple times a year I'll get their pistachio-almond. but ALWAYS in a cup, like you.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm out the door...there's a B-R right down the street thats calling my name.
