A new artisanal ice cream parlour called Obsessive Chocolat Desire (OCD) Cafe has taken up residence in Ang Mo Kio, slotting itself into the former shop space where Twenty Grammes used to operate. With its striking neon sign and modern furnishings, this new hipster hangout is no doubt a hit among the younger crowd.
As its name suggests, this chic cafe specialises in a broad range of unique chocolate ice cream flavours, giving serious chocolate lovers something to look forward to.
Even if you aren’t a chocolate fanatic, you’ll be thoroughly impressed with the range of flavours that they have. Their flavours are very creative and unconventional.
Ice Cream with Waffle
We got ourselves a Sesame Waffle (S$4) topped with a scoop of their Africa 85% Dark (S$3.60) and Madagascar 30% Milk (S$3.60).
The waffle was crisp around the edges and fluffy and cake-like in the middle. Arriving at our table hot and fresh, slicing into it revealed a warm, eggy aroma coupled with a toasted nuttiness. Other waffles that you can opt for include the humble Original, Chocolat, savoury Corn Cheese and Truffle.
The ice creams were absolutely divine. Not overly sweet but brimming with an intensely rich chocolate flavour.
The Africa 85% Dark boasted bittersweet notes with an almost roasted flavour to it. Perhaps a step up from store-bought dark chocolate, the flavour is bold but palatable, revealing a subtle sweetness that balances out its bitter nuances.
If your palate prefers something a little more interesting, then you won’t go wrong with their Mint Chocolat. It’s chocolatey, minty and tastes somewhat festive–pretty similar to a Christmas candy cane drizzled with decadent chocolate.
The flecks of chocolate bits in the ice cream provide a heightened experience, giving the ice cream a crunchy texture and a bittersweet profile.
Obsessive Chocolat Desire Cafe opens till 1:00 am every Friday and Saturday, so do drop by for supper the next time you’re in the hood.
