I have been looking forward to Lab Made’s opening as I missed the chance to visit the liquid nitrogen ice cream shop in Camden when I visited London last month! And finally, Lab Made opened yesterday! Yipee! The shop is quite small but there were quite a lot of staff which makes the shop a bit overcrowded (perhaps because it was the first day?) The staff was quite helpful though, and I love their uniforms (T-shirts with lab coat print)!

我很期待Lab Made開業,終於食店於昨天開始營運了!Lab Made的店面小,但員工蠻多的,個人認為有點擠擁。可幸的是員工們都很熱心!(噢我很喜歡他們的制服)

There were 4 flavours offered at Lab Made, and they are Mango, Cookies & Cream, Sticky Toffee Pudding and Chinese Purple Rice Dessert.

Lab Made有芒果,雲呢拿和曲奇,椰棗拖肥蛋糕,和紫米露四款雪糕口味供客人選擇。

Since I am not a big fan of purple rice, we only bought 3 scoops of other flavours. The ice-cream was smoother and stickier than traditional ice-cream, I felt like having a richer and stickier version of frozen yoghurt. I think the mango one will taste better if they reduce the amount of milk.

我本身不喜歡吃紫米露,所以只點了其餘三款口味。雪糕比平日吃到的更軟滑和黏口,質感有點像比較杰身的乳酪雪糕。個人認為芒果雪糕的牛奶味太重,蓋過了茫果的鮮味。

The Cookies & Cream is the best flavour out of the three but it is not something that I would remember and re-visit.

雲呢拿與曲奇是三款之中最好吃的,不過老實說,味道不很特別,絶非那種好吃得令人難以忘懷的味道。

The sticky pudding ice-cream was a bit too sweet for my liking but I guess it sticky pudding lovers will love it.

椰棗拖肥蛋糕雪糕對我而言有點太甜,不過味道真的很像拖肥蛋糕(不太吃得出椰棗味,不過正好,因為我椰棗不是我的最愛),對於喜歡這種甜品的朋友來說是會是很出色的口味。

It was awesome observing the staff making ice-cream in front of you with the magic touch of liquid nitrogen. The mystical smoke made me feel like I was in wonderland!

我覺得Lab Made最吸引人的是員工製作雪糕煙霧瀰漫的夢幻‘表演’!

The overall experience at Lab Made was cool. The taste was somewhat disappointing though. I was actually expecting more creative and tantalizing flavours such as bacon & cheese or foie gras. The current choices on offer are not very tempting. I hope they can make more fruity flavours for the summer, say Watermelon with plum would be an interesting blend.With the help of liquid nitrogen, I believe they could have created better recipes. The interesting thing about ice-cream is that you can actually vary the texture and flavour by adjusting very little amount of ingredients. Science is all about hypotheses and experiments. By experimenting different recipes, I am confident that Lab Made can create icecreams of better quality. I look forward to revisiting the shop with friends to see if they have made improvements.

整體來說這次 Lab Made之行是滿有趣的,可惜的是味覺上的不足。我覺得現時供應的味道不是特別吸引,本來以為食店會提供更異想天開的口味,例如煙肉與芝士或是鵝肝。另外,我覺得夏日時可以提供更多的果味冰淇淋,例如西瓜和梅,會是消暑的法寶啊。既然店內有製作液體氮的機器,應當盡量好好利用,製作些創新的口味。製作雪糕有趣地方是只需稍微調整材料份量便能影響雪糕的質感和味道,我覺得新開業的Lab Made有進步的空間,以後若是不斷試驗食譜,定能改進,我期待以後跟朋友再訪Lab Made,吃到更美味的氮製雪糕。
