Ice Edge 2 Cafe's Entrance



Cafe's interior is basic with minimal decoration

We opted for a set menu which comes with a soup and a drink (coffee or iced tea) for an additional $5 or $7 if you select their premium soup.



Crab Bisque
$7.80 ala carte

We went for the premium soup, the Crab Bisque, served with two slices of garlic bread. The soup was average and I wished there were bits of crab meat thrown into the soup for good measure. What I liked was that the soup was piping hot when it arrived at our table.



Seafood Aglio Olio Spaghetti
$15.80

The Seafood Aglio Olio Spaghetti comprises of fresh prawn, mussel and calamari cooked in pressed garlic, olive oil, chilli padi and chopped parsely and is chef's recommendation on the menu. I would have prefered the pasta to be done more al dente, but the dish was flavourful with it's chokeful of pressed garlic and seafood. This dish appeared almost on every table, I would say, go for it.



Salmon Steak
$18.80

Another chef's recommendation on the menu was the Salmon Steak, which was grilled salmon, served in cream butter sauce with potato gratin and salad with balsamic dressing. It scored high marks for it's presentation, but I was slightly disappointed to find that the portion of salmon miniscule. It's execution was only average at best, but I thought the potato grain was good.



Mao Shan Wang Lava Cake
$13.80

The highlight of the day has got to be the Mao Shan Wang Lava Cake. Served with a scoop of gelato of your choice, the standing tower promised immediate gratification when we sliced open its soft exterior to reveal its inner treasure. We cheered in delight as the golden trail of goodness oozed from the cake. Accompanied with Mao Shan Wang ice cream, this is a must have for durian lovers.

Iced Lemon Tea



Gelato Ice Cream

Ice Edge cafe also serves a decent range of gelato. We sampled a few flavours and they were all good- we were spoilt for choice!

 

Hits and misses for the main courses, but the gelato and desserts were wonderful.
