Let's indulge in Nestle La Cremeria Ice Cream ; now with improved recipe and packaging!

Anyone here an ice-cream lover or La Cremeria fans?

Well I have good news for you because they had just improved their recipe and packaging starting 1 September 2013!

During the last week Nestle La Cremeria 1.2L Relaunch in Laundry Bar in The Curve, the gorgeous Julie Woon was the emcee for the event. She briefly introduced what is the event is about before passing the mic to the representative of Nestle.

The improved range comes with creamier texture that melts smoothly and gives a satisfying moment of indulgence. The range comes with an improved packaging with stronger and tighter tub cap lock to ensure product freshness. 

The Ms. Yit Woon Lai the Business Executive Manager of Nestle Ice Cream Business Unit (thanks to Grace for the name) said that every woman deserve to indulge in a tube of La Cremeria ice cream after a busy day juggling between work & family as a reward for herself! I totally agreed on this!

Before we are officially introduced to the six variants of La Cremeria ice cream; there is a showcase of models wearing very colourful dresses.

And in case you are wondering where there is a fashion show in an ice-cream launch, actually those colour dress represent different flavour.

La Cremeria comes with six variants and each offers different sensations and experiences!

Here are the 6 different variants for La Cremeria with description

1. LA CREMERIA Chocolate Hazelnut Temptation: Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream with heaps of peanuts and velvety chocolate hazelnut sauce 

2. LA CREMERIA Strawberry Dream: Vanilla and Strawberry ice cream with lots of strawberry pieces

3. LA CREMERIA Vanilla Cashew Delight: Vanilla ice cream with generous chocolate chips, cashew nuts, and velvety chocolate sauce 

4. LA CREMERIA Chocolate Obsession: Chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips and chocolate sauce 

5. LA CREMERIA Hazelnut Ganache Sensation: Crème Brulee flavoured ice cream with almond chunks and chocolate chips swirled in chocolate hazelnut sauce 

6. LA CREMERIA Almond Pecan Praline: Delicious pecan flavoured ice cream with almond chunks and velvety swirls of chocolate sauce 

Personally I felt that the new improved La Cremeria ice creams are much creamier and actually melt slowler in my mouth. And one more thing I discovered is that it is not as sweet as before; yes I do like sweet stuff but not overly sweet and this adjustment of the level of sweetness is just perfect. 

And the improved cap lock system  is great because it locks the tube tighter; definitely the freshness of the ice-cream is preserved!

And out of the 6 variants of La Cremeria ice cream I have tried, I love La Cremeria Almond Pecan Praline the best because the combination of almond, pecan & praline is just perfect! I love how I can actually feel bits of almond chunks and chocolate sauce in every spoon I took! Sinful but very delicious! Highly recommending this, especially if you are trying La Cremeria for the first time!

And if you are not a fan of Praline, I would personally recommend Hazelnut Ganache Sensation (creme brulee anyone?) or Strawberry Dream (yep I'm a strawberry lover!) as they are my next choice!

For chocolate lover, you should not miss Chocolate Obsession because the chocolate flavour is really rich & you can actually feel the bitterness of the chocolate! And Vanilla lover should try Vanilla Cashew Delight which are really milky& creamy in texture!

And for those who are torn between vanilla or chocolate ice cream; well Hazelnut Temptation is for you because it has both!

Oh did I said that got pretty yummy boy served us yummy ice cream on that day!

LA CREMERIA 1.2L range is available at a recommended price of RM16.89 (West Malaysia) and RM16.99 (East Malaysia) at major hypermarkets and supermarkets nationwide.

The top two bestselling variants i.e  LA CREMERIA Almond Pecan Praline and LA CREMERIA Vanilla Cashew Delight is available in 100ml serving cup and each is sold at RM3.00 (West Malaysia) and RM3.20 (East Malaysia) and available at selected convenient stores nationwide.

In conjunction with the re-launch, several road shows will be held around Malaysia from September to November 2013 to give consumers the opportunity to experience this indulging and satisfying LA CREMERIA range. The road shows give consumers a chance to win some goodies and enjoy exciting activities at the booth.

Let's try Meet Fresh Taiwanese Dessert

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to my Muslim readers! What are you guys in this long weekends breaks!  Well I had a pretty good time indulging in dessert! Ah.. I love dessert and you know how warm our Malaysia weather can be so warm and cool dessert is really perfect to chill us out!

The first time I came across Meet Fresh was in Times Square and I was really glad when they opened their branch in Pavilion last year cause this is my favourite hang out mall!

A little background of Meet Fresh

Meet Fresh is established in 2007 with millions invested to create a six-star comfortable dining experience for its patrons, “Meet Fresh” is a Taiwanese dessert chain that prides itself on preserving the authentic taste of yesteryears when food was handmade by the sellers and ingredients were of the highest quality and fresh. The taro dessert is one of its notable bestsellers.

 

Well last Sunday I was invited to Meet Fresh High Tea press conference at their Pavilion branch to sample the different types of "Meet Fresh" desserts .

This is a part of Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs’ (MOEA) effort in reaching out to neighboring countries, its Bureau of Foreign Trade jointly with “Meet Fresh” invited members of the media and bloggers. This high tea session enabled us to have an authentic taste of Taiwan’s delicacies and other wholesome treats.

These are 4 Meet Fresh best sellers; namely Taro Balls No.4, Meet Fresh Signature Herbal Jelly, Tofu Pudding with Peanut and Little Taro Balls in White Ground Tea.

If you are first time visiting "Meet Fresh" these are the 4 must have, let me tell you why and share with you which is my favourite!

 Meet Fresh Signature Herbal Jelly - RM6.90

The word Signature is not there for nothing because it is a must have and I do really like this! This is one of my favourite and I tell you why!

This is a combination of herbal jelly blended ice together with herbal jelly, taro balls and cream. And if you are not much of a cream (milk person) you can always opt it out! In case you don't want a cold dessert, this has a hot version too.

I really like how the herbal jelly ice is finely shaved & the taro balls (made from yam) are really chewy! The cream milk just add more sweetness in this. This is a sweet & refreshing dessert for me! Highly recommended!

p/s: I want to have this now by just looking at the picture, yum yum...

 Taro Balls No.4 - RM6.50

I think it is called No 4 because it has 4 ingredients inside; i.e taro balls, red bean, sago pearl & taro (aka yam) on shaved ice.

I like the yam here, it was cooked to perfection! Well if you are yam lover, this is the one you should order!

 

 Tofu Pudding with Peanuts - RM5

This is the tofu pudding aka taufu-fah with peanuts & syrup on top of shaved ice. Overall this dessert is not too sweet & tofu pudding texture is smooth.

This is definitely one of the healthier dessert as it is not too sweet & the tofu which is made from soya bean is known to help in skin whitening!

Honestly not one of my favorite here because personally I prefer my dessert to be sweet & shaved ice to be a little bit finer....I have sweet tooth  >.<

 

Little Taro Balls in White Ground Tea - RM5.90

Oh I really love this. The drink is really refreshing and the little taro ball is really nice to chew! Best drink to quench your thirst on sunny day!

Oh just before we left, the manager dropped by and offered us to try Mango Supreme (RM17.90). A dessert that available exclusively in Pavilion !

Generous amount of mango spread on top of sweetened ice & cream. And it is crowned with a scoop of yam ice-cream. 

The portion is really quite big & good be shared between 2-3 persons! Well if I am going to order this again, I want to ask for additional taro balls topping on this for only Rm1.50... ah I just can't get enough of the taro balls... you can tell that by now... how addictive is that!

This is place is nice to hang out after a tiring shopping trip! Sofa is comfortable, there is ample walking area and best of all there is WIFI. I would personally choose to sit next to glass partition as I enjoy looking down what is happening down there.
