It wasn’t that hard to organise this one.
Just got to go “Want ah, go eat ice cream??”
And replies are “yes yes yes yes!!”.
So the 11 of us polished off 14 cups of Kindori’s FRESH, blast frozen on the spot, added with REAL fruits ice cream.
And for a reasonable price too.. yup, I’m a sucker for good deals. Sue me.
Flavours are either RM6.90 for local fruits or RM8.90 for international fruits or mixed of 2 flavours, served in a CUP. Add RM1 to the price if you prefer the cone.
What I love about Kindori is the fact that ACTUAL fruits are used. And they got a whole medley of choices available!
Below are the local options; with watermelon, CEMPEDAK (gasp!), jackfruit, pineapple, papaya, CARROT (???), mango & rock melon among the more interesting choices.
Then we have the international fruits such as Grapes, Blueberries, Blackcurrants, Strawberries,
Raspberry, PUMPKIN, Passion fruit, Green kiwi, Golden Kiwi & Lychee.
For each order, 38grams of fruits is first weighed on a digital scale.
“The 100% milk” they used to make the ice-cream is actually frozen and the amount required for each order is measured out before it is added together with the fruits into the machine. What you see here is the chocolate one, used for the chocolate or chocolate banana ice cream.
The process of making the ice – cream.
Add frozen milk, add fruits, pull the lever and voila! Ice cream out alike those from soft-serve machines.
My first visit was at their outlet in Times Square, near the cinema ticket counters.
Here, the fruits selection were a lot better, versus the outlet at Sunway Pyramid.
I had the Morello Cherry, which was so sour I couldn’t finish it & I end up scooping spoonfuls off my friend’s Green Tea.
Powders are used for the sumiyaki coffee, green tea & black sesame flavours. I have only tried the coffee and green tea so far and I find them decent though a bit light in flavour.
You will find bits of skin from the fruit, and parts of the ice cream not very well blended but I didn’t mind.
Clockwise from top: Choc (not very chocolatey so be warned), raspberry & grapes (all I tasted was the raspberry), choc banana (a bit too light on the banana) & Grapes (barely tasted anything).
Below left: Watermelon, which was very refreshing because texture-wise it has become almost like sorbet, no doubt due to the percentage of water present in the watermelon.
Below right: Green kiwi, so sour that my face remained scrunched up even after 5 minutes of tasting it. The CEMPEDAK is a must if you like cempedak. Think durian and durian ice cream. Creamier, smoother and sweet.
From top left: Sumiyaki Coffee (nice but light in taste) & the Pineapple, which was one of the better ones we had.
Service is good in both outlets, with the service staff ever smiling and patiently waiting while you lament over your choice of fruits for your ice cream.
Do not however, compare this to Haagen Daaz or Ben & Jerry’s. This is after all, low fat milk and fruit based ice cream. Haagen Daaz goes for RM12++ per scoop versus RM6.90 to RM9.90 per serving here.
A fairer comparion would be Tutti Fruitti (post coming up in.. like next month if I ever get to it), and I personally I find this wayyy better. I would return soon for the coconut & red bean flavour. That should be interesting, no? 😉
Kindori outlet at Times Square. On the same floor as the cinema, near the ticket counter.
Kindori outlet at Sunway Pyramid, NEW Wing. Near Starbucks & a floor above Tokyo G, as well as J Co.
Again, prices are as follows:
Flavours are either RM6.90 for local fruits or RM8.90 for international fruits or mixed of 2 flavours, served in a CUP. Add RM1 to the price if you prefer the cone.
And the CNY promo is on till 28h of February 2010.
boo hoooo, they don't have my favorite fruit, ciku! =/ or even my second fave, mangosteen!
Cempedak! Yummy! (which reminds me of this awesome cempedak cheesecake made by FBB….a.w.e.s.o.m.e, ok! ^_^
Had the misfortune of tasting their Kiwi during an outing to Times Square. It puckered up EVERY orifice in my body. Seriously recommended for Women who have had more than 9 babies, or incontinent grandpas as it will save a trip to the surgeon. ;P
I want I want T.T
GUFFFFFFFFFFFFAW at paranoid's remark!!!!
You know what? I haven't even heard of Morello Cherry and thank goodness you told me it's sour. I detest sour food!
The comments here are so farnee. Aiya Berjaya and Sunway are like the malls I least visit lah. But I'll try to remind myself to check it out if I'm ever there.
oh is a damn nice chiling session with u guys!! LOVE IT!!! and ice cream is awesome!!! i like cempeedak and choco !!!
wow.. lots of dessert place popping up all around town.. ahahha.. when is our next outing? 🙂
This sounds like a concept that Nelson's (The Jagung Place) use to do.. I remember when Nelson's first came out.. I'd go to Atria (That's how old I am)… and get the blueberry ice-cream from them FRESH…. *sigh*.. the good old days…
who else can resist????
I want! I want! I want! Can ask them open one branch at Penang a?
ICE CREAMMMMM! *scream* my fave! good one. gonna try this when i am in sunway. awwwww!!!

botakai: cempedak!! YES!!
tummy rumble: yeah man! Lunch then ABC in puchong!
msihua: I know I know!
Actually I loved that! But those years I guess ppl did'nt knw how to appreciate it then. Now biz seems better for ice -cream/desserts outlets (think of all the gelato stalls in our malls now!)
simplegirl: I can't!!
Allie: Haha.. Pg.. even in KL they only have 2, & not in very popular malls either
ai wei: Please do! Careful of the flavours u choose!
Joe: Yes yes, indulge away!
hmm, sounds like there's only a handful of flavours worth trying..and i cant take sour stuff- cant imagine how the cherry and kiwi was like ..
holy freak!!! That is SOOOO COOL MAN!!!! I want the green kiwi! And the coconut and red bean too!!! Wow, Love how fresh it is!
long time didn't eat ice-cream, frozen yoghurt or gelato already.. sob sob!
i promise u …. after cny, me, yve and dylan will join for food blogger gathering…hope i am free that time…
i see ur food pics also cannot stop drooling and tahan liow…
nice food wei….
I'm wanna to join advertlets , can provide me some details of it ???
I know right. However I think for Nelson's it was yogurt? My memory gets worst with age…
Sounds healthier than the average. Sour one oklah ..but NOT too sour. I dunwan wanna be getting brain-freeze, AND lockjaw at the same time.
