Homemade Healthy Ice Cream @ The Ais

The society is now more health concern than before. People nowadays look for healthier options to replace all those sugar, salt, and many more. 

Sweet is usually an unavoidable taste in desserts, yet some of us could not control ourselves over some dessert craving especially for people with sweet tooth. 

Now in Penang, there are more and more homemade options for health concern people. Homemade food are healthier and better as compared to processed food or processed ingredients. 

One of the pioneer ice cream maker who is very particular in healthy products, The Ais have moved to a more strategic location at George Town area from the previous Pulau Tikus area. 

It has been relocated to one of the busiest street, the Chulia Street which is very popular among tourists and locals. If you have read my post about Time Capsule Hotel before, it is located right opposite the hotel, not very difficult to locate as it is next to an open carpark. 

As they have moved to a new shop entirely for their own brand, they have come out with more and more ice cream flavours for Penangites' tasting pleasure! Not forget to mention they have added different desserts such as waffles and kefir on the menu too. 

This was how they previously sell their ice cream, all ice cream have been packed properly and ready to be consumed. They have variety of flavours for you to choose as well as some exotic flavours.

They also sell their ice cream in cone, cup or also pint size. If you wish to takeaway a pint of ice cream you can always share it with your family.

The are more seatings upstairs as the cafe has very limited space.

Organic Matcha Ice Cream is one of their best selling flavours. You can taste the real Matcha flavour in the ice cream and it is not sweet. I was told that they use Matcha powder imported from Japan and all their ice cream uses real flavours. No food colouring nor msg were added in the process of making these ice cream. Everything made from only real ingredients. 

One best thing about this matcha ice cream is it is totally SUGAR FREE! It is not sweet but only filled with strong matcha flavours.

Another interesting flavour we have tried is the butterfly pea ice cream. Purely natural colour and also added cranberries for better and smoother taste. If you prefer a total natural flavour, the butterfly pea flavour is the one you should go for it. Not only it is an healthier option, but it is also tastier flavour. 

The cafe also serves waffle ice cream.
All waffle are freshly baked upon order to ensure the freshness and crispiness of the waffles. 2 flavours are available for selection which is the original flavour and chocolate waffle.

Double Bliss Waffle - RM13.90
(Chocolate & Original Waffle Mix)
You can also have 2 waffle flavours in a piece of waffle and top it up with one or 2 scoops of ice cream.

The waffles were thin and crispy, the inner layer of the waffle is also soft, perfect to go with ice cream while it is still hot. The waffle ice cream was also garnished with fresh fruits making it more refreshing and healthy. We have chosen the blueberry flavour that was slightly sour but you can taste the strong flavours of blueberry in there as they used real berries to make the ice cream, hence the colour may look a bit plain.

Other than the main product ice cream, The Ais is also one of the top Kefir maker in Penang!

They have all sorts of Kefir flavours that uses real fruits hence you can really taste the real fruit flavours in all their Kefir!

The passion fruit flavour is a must try!

Apart from good ice cream and healthy kefir, The Ais is also a great place for photography.
The cafe was quite cozy and picturesque so you can take some great photos here.
