New Zealand Natural Ice Cream

What’s more we need to say about this famous brand name. Everyone has known that New Zealand Natural ice cream is 100% originated from New Zealand. It was born at Christchurch in 1984. New Zealand Natural started its path in Malaysia in December 2003 and has twelve outlets at this moment. As for Penang, there are two stall that is at Queesbay Mall and Sunway Carnival Mall.

On a hot Sunday morning, we decided to head up to NZN for a nice scoop of cooling ice cream and a catching up session together.

The bright and colorful counter is able to be seen from afar. There was a little corner been arrange with the table and chairs for dine in customer. Two larger glass ice cream container display at the counter so easy viewing and selection for the customer.

A very in details menu board was hang on top of the counter for viewing.

The girl on duty greeted us with a bright smile explain to us what NZN has to offered. We are given a small scoop of sample of ice cream before deciding on the flavours that we wanted.

Photobucket

There are few categories of NZN items. First of would be the Sundae Creation that consist of Double Rum of Shot, Mount Cook, Wickedly Chocolate, Banana Split, Cookie Monster, Designer Sundae. Customers can choose their own topping too.

Next category would be the Flo that is the Fruit Flo, Durian Flo and Signature Flo.

As for Ice Cream would be the full cream, low fat ice cream, frozen yogurts and sorbet.

NZN does also serve drinks too besides ice cream. It would be the Thickshake, Milkshake, Smoothies, Fresh Juice.

This first glass panel displays all the full cream ice cream with a wide range of flavours.

Then next glass panel, would be the yogurt and sorbet ice cream with fresh fruits as toppings.

Photobucket
We choose to go for the Mount Cook and was allowed to choose 5 favourite ice cream flavours with a sinful selection of toppings.

We have chosen for the Best Seller Boysenberry dream that has ripped berry smooth with boysenberry flavour ice cream. Next flavour would be Macadamia Supreme ice cream with roasted Australian macadamia nuts. Another scoop of Green Tea that has a rich infused flavour of the tea. Mango Sorbet is s non-dairy luscious sorbet made with real mango. Fruits of Forest is from the range of frozen yogurt with a mixture of Boysenberry, strawberry, blackberry and blackcurrants.

And for the topping would be the almond flakes and Fererro Rocher chocolate with few slices of green apple and strawberry. We are giving a small jug of chocolate to be pour onto the ice cream. It tasted marvelous!

Photobucket
Durian season is around the corner, we decided to go for something wild. That would be the Durian Flo. We are been told my Ally that the Durian Flo only available at the selected outlet. The taste and smell of the Durian is pretty strong. For a Durian lover like me, I would love it. It's ither full cream or low fat vanilla ice cream blended with pure D24 durian. You may add on extra fruits to this flo but we decided to stay on the standard one.

Photobucket
The special blender. The texture was very smooth as it has been blended with a special machine.

Photobucket
For a chocolate lover, Wickedly Chocolate should not be missed out. It consists of Choc Fudge Brownies, a moist fudge brownie piece with chocolate ripple swirled through rich choc milk ice cream. Two serves of Chocolate Ecstasy that is the chocolate fudge swirled with chocolate ice cream. That was like a double wow of chocolates. A few drops of chocolate chips, slices of green apple and strawberry make up the decoration of the ice cream. A small jug of chocolate was given to us as well. The chocolate flow will harden on top of the cold cream and it makes it taste good.

Photobucket
Thirsty after all the chocolates, we decided to give a try to the Berry’ lishius Smooties that has been recommended. It is a combination of strawberry blend, banana and mixture of berries.

Besides that we are served with sky juice with a hint of lemon taste, that able to wash away the ice cream flavour from our mouth before trying to the next flavour.

It was indeed a great experience and fun time at NZN and not to be miss out the companion as well. Lets wait no more and head up to the nearest NZN.

The on-going monthly promotions would be the 30:30 promotions. Every 30th of the month, 30% off for all Take Home Packs.

In their menu, they have two types of base, one is the Prata and the other is the Crispy Wraps.
