There are several food-related retail kiosks at Level LG of Gurney Paragon. Located beside the escalator near Daiso Japan, Utterly Ice Cream specializes in handcrafted ice cream. The word “utterly” means “wholly” or “completely”. This is also a subtle reference to “udder” (cow breast), emphasizing on the proprietors’ commitment to use only fresh milk in preparing ice cream.
The ice cream here is quite dense because it has low overrun (air content). The proprietors also insist on using premium ingredients. For example, top grade matcha powder is taken from Uji, while the best vanilla is sourced from Madagascar. Despite vibrant colors of ice cream, only natural ingredients are used. The food at Utterly Ice Cream is suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians.
There are around 20 different ice cream flavors on a given day. Popular choices are D24 Durian, Cempedak, 62% Dark Chocolate, Uji Matcha, Salted Caramel, Roasted White Chocolate, Peanut Butter With Chocolate and Mint Chip. There are also seasonal flavors like Wasabi, Buttered Almond Brittle, Kumquat and Salted Egg Yolk. Like Baskin-Robbins, Utterly Ice Cream provides free samples before customers make their choices.
Ice cream is served in disposable cups in either Single Scoop (RM6.80) or Double Scoop (RM12.50) sizes. Several flavors are marked as “premium” and cost RM1.50 extra per scoop. For RM2.50, customers can upgrade the ice cream to XL Charcoal Hand-Rolled Waffle Cone. Made from batter mixed with bamboo charcoal, the waffle cone is cooked in a waffle iron. It is good that the cone remains crispy even after making contact with ice cream.
I think it is worth the RM2.50 upgrade for the cone. Meanwhile for ice cream, my personal favorites are D24 Durian, 62% Dark Chocolate, Uji Matcha and Kumquat. Besides selling by the scoop, Utterly Ice Cream also offers ice cream in bulk. Tubs come in sizes of 400 millilitres (RM19.50) and 1.3 liters (RM59.00). There is an additional RM4.00 for premium flavors. If you are buying in large quantities, take advantage of the special offer for ice cream tubs.
The kiosk also has a several freshly baked Utterly Cakes that are sold by the slice. Like ice cream, the cakes are made from natural ingredients only. Cake choices today are Peanut Butter Chocolate (RM7.90), Uji Matcha (RM7.90), Chocolate Ganache (RM6.90), Black Forest (RM7.90), Cookies & Cream Chocolate Moist (RM7.90) and Hummingbird Walnut (RM7.90). Customers who wish to purchase the whole cake (10 slices) are advised to give 1-day notice so that the shop can prepare a fresh batch from the oven.
