Milkcow Malaysia at Mid Valley: Restaurant Review

Ice cream lovers won’t be left out in the cold in Mid Valley, thanks to ice cream parlours that began heating up the mall this week; first up, we’re checking out Malaysia’s pioneering outpost of Korean soft-serve ice cream specialist Milkcow.

Decadent and Delicate Ice Cream

Milkcow at The Gardens Mall – near Cold Storage – is all about deliciously smooth, decadently dense but delicately mild-tasting ice cream, well-constructed with organic milk, wisely crowned with various toppings. Each cup costs between RM11 & RM13.

Local Farm Freshness

Gorgeous natural honeycomb steals the spotlight in Milkcow’s showcase, reputedly sourced from local farms for freshness.

The Basics

Begin with the basics: Ice cream partnered with thick ‘honey chips’ that are lightly sweet & not cloying in the least, featuring a comfortable, candy-like gummy-chewiness that pairs well with the ice cream’s rich texture.

Ice cream with liquid honey is available too; at first brush, the smallish portions might seem expensive, but take the first bite – the ice cream is clearly not made with substandard ingredients. We really like it.

Macao Dream

We were sceptical about the popcorn-flavoured macaron & almond toppings, but the macaron turned out to be a triumph too – winsomely fresh, well-balanced in flavour & finely tuned in texture. This is named Macao Dream on the menu for some reason.
