Have been wanting to get my grubby hands on these when I have first noticed that Fatcat Ice Cream Bar have been offering cold brews; after all, while usual cold brews are pretty much a common sight everywhere, Fatcat Ice Cream Bar’s variant brings the usual cold brew a little further with its infusion of their own house-made ice-creams.

With three different flavours to go for (Hokkaido Milk, Mocha and Matcha), my choice was the Hokkaido Milk — pretty similar to that of the usual Cold Brew (White) that are often seen at other specialty coffee cafes that are part of third-wave coffee movement. The Ice-Cream Milkshake Cold Brew (Hokkaido Milk) from Fatcat Ice Cream Bar whilst being distinctively more creamier in terms of flavour, still carried a more liquid consistency than other creamier cold brews like the ones offered by Curious Palette/Stranger’s Reunion/Wakey Wakey and Brawn & Brains. Their rendition is also sweeter, perhaps due to how their version employs the use of ice-cream over normal milk and sugar syrup that other spots tend to use, but is still pretty well-balanced by being a more richer and punchier concoction overall; still evident is the coffee’s earthy and nutty notes amidst all the creaminess and sweetness going on — one that I actually quite liked and would go for again.

Whilst Fatcat Ice Cream Bar is probably best known for their Mojito Spheres and Charcoal Waffles with Salted Egg Sauce in their beginning years, it is interesting to see how they have since also included other items such as the Ice-Cream Milkshake Cold Brew in their menu — an interesting move that gives them a wider variety than the usual ice-cream parlour elsewhere.
