"finally got to eat the original gula apong from kuching. i have been craving so long for gula apong ice cream. everything is good just the parking here is ridiculously hard to find always pack with people this area. Also this shop is just beside the SRK noodle house, so after having mee kolok dont forget your ice cream dessert at Kelem. keep up the good work Also the the kek lapis topping, hopefully they can provide variety of flavour each day or maybe every week, would be a wholesome experience."

"Gula Apong drizzle definitely original. Apongatto is very coffee, definitely the choice for coffee lovers. According to wifey, this is the original same brand she had during her Uni days in Samarahan."

"Original gula apong ice cream has a light gula apong flavour. It is smooth but it melts pretty fast. Onde- onde ice cream has the right flavour but unfortunately, the one i had has a very icy/ gritty texture. Complete opposite of the original. For RM3 a cone, the amount of ice cream and the quality of cone is worth it. IMO better than MxD ice cream cone."
