[Cafe Hoping] 5ive Degree Celsius' Imago Outlet Grand Opening

Hello everyone! :)

When you're living in a hot and humid country like Malaysia,

you just can't say "no" to ice-cream.

- Address: Imago Shopping Mall, Level 2 near Popular.

- Operating Hours: 10am - 10pm (daily)

5ivedegreecelsius may not be new to some

since they opened their first outlet at Latitude 6.

Good thing to know that the brand is expanding,

and here we are now at their 2nd outlet's grand opening!

Having said that the Latitude 6 outlet is serving more towards local community,

setting up new outlet at Imago Shopping Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, would allow the ice-cream shop to introduce themselves to tourists.

The ice-cream kiosk is located at Level 2, near to Popular Bookstore.

And I bet you won't miss it because of its eye-catching pink dreamy house-like structure.

There are plenty of tables and chairs lay out at the aisle.

From their design and concept, I can sense the lively and hopeful vibe.

Would definitely an ideal place for friends to hangout and chill.

Currently they are serving 16 different ice-cream flavours;

some are fixed menu while others are seasonal.

While we were chit-chatting with the founder and owner, Mr Jonathan,

we are truly amazed by his passion for making quality ice-creams.

These aren't the usual ice-cream you can get from supermarkets.

In fact, he learned the gelato and sorbet-making skills from an Italian ice-cream guru.

Adventurous by nature,

he sets out the journey on seeking new flavours through countless attempts back at his "lab".

To name a few special mentions, White Rabbit (inspired by White Rabbit Candy), Pistachio, Cheese Cake, Rum and Raisins and more!

Do look out for more flavours coming soon! :9

How to order?

First, choose your ice-cream flavour.

Then choose what do you want the ice-cream to serve with.

(i.e. cups, cones, waffles)

(front) Serving on waffle; (back) Serving on cups.

Serving on daily freshly-made cone

Just before you assume it's just another ice-cream shop,

5ive Degree Celsius is truly living up to the cafe-standard,

which (unexpectedly) they are also serving fresh-from-oven savoury bites

to balance out your taste bud.

Tea-time anyone? :)

I must say, their Beef Shephard Pie absolutely steal the scene with its well-balance components.

... only one tiny problem... the serving / portion.

I WANT MOREEEEE :P

Nevertheless, I have to put it out there,

their pastries are just as good as their ice-creams.

If you ordered from their pastries on the display shelf,

the staffs will warm it before serving to you.

Very thoughtful.

To complete the meal,

pick a drink from their extensive menu,

from coffee to non-coffee, hot or cold.

The ambiance here at the cafe is great.

Dipping into Italian Gelato, sipping Darjeeling tea,

while having Beef Shephard Pie on the plate,

- somehow it reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffany.

Meet my partners in crime. :p

Despite I myself is not a person with sweet tooth,

I do enjoy their ice-creams! (just nice, not too sweet until toothache)

If you haven't been to any of 5ive Degree Celsius outlet,

I would suggest you to give it a go.

That's all from me today.
