Stickhouse @ Citta Mall / Sunway Pyramid

Remember those days when we were young, we used to anticipate eagerly for the ice cream man to come by our house and we would dash out with sheer joy whenever we heard the ice cream bell rang? Well, in those days, most ice cream cost less than RM1 - even an ice cream bar cost less than that too. But today, ice creams, gelatos, sundaes, etc, can easily cost more than RM8 for just a small amount! Ahhh....how things have changed and evolved over time!

The reason why I’m being so dramatic over the whole ice cream thing is because I was in Citta Mall one day (if you don’t know where Citta Mall is, it is located opposite Saujana Subang in Ara Damansara), I came across an ice cream shop tucked in a small cubicle space at Ground Floor called Stickhouse. It sells dozens of Italian hand crafted gelatos or sorbets on sticks in different sizes and flavours. Needless to say, I went gaga instantly when I saw those ice cream sticks! 

   

I was so distracted by the colourful ice cream sticks that I actually forgot to check the price and the additional charges for add-on toppings and dippings! (How ridiculous can that be yea?) I asked for a Classic Vanilla (RM6.90) to be added with half topping (RM1.00) and half dipping (RM1.00) that came up to a total of RM8.90. Pricy? Maybe, but I was intoxicated and satisfied with the outcome. The size of a classic ice cream is almost the size of my husband's palm (note: he has huge hands!)

Months later, I bumped into their outlet in Sunway Pyramid by accident. The kiosk is situated right opposite McDonald's (where the ice-skating ring is), so you can imagine how excited I was again!

 

This time, I made sure that I took more pictures of the shop.

Eight reasons why you should choose Stickhouse ;)

Basically, the gelatos and fruit sorbets are categorized into three types: Classic, Premium, & Mini. The Classic ones are sold at RM6.90 per stick, while the Premium ones are sold slightly higher at RM8.90 per stick. For Minis, they are smaller than both Classic and Premium, and are sold at RM4.90 per stick.

Can you see the difference between the size of
the Classics (left hand side) and the Minis (right hand side)?

Check out the different flavours - Yogurt Strawberry, Almond, Dragon Fruit, Hazelnut,
Gianduia, Grape, Strawberry, and many more!

Now to make your ice cream more interesting, you have a choice of two add-ons: Dippings & Toppings. You may choose to add a full dipping (RM2) or a half dipping (RM1) for the coating of your ice cream. Three types of sauce are available for dipping - White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate & Dark Chocolate.

As for the Toppings, a full topping would cost RM2 while a half topping would cost RM1. You may choose from a few toppings such as Pistachios, Hazelnut and Almond. These toppings add that finishing touch to your ice cream. 

After staring at the ice creams and thinking for a long time, I finally decided to go with the Classic Yogurt with milk chocolate (half dipping) and hazelnut (half topping). The taste? Loved it! :)

So even though the price of ice creams has increased, the quality of the ice creams today has also been enhanced significantly!
