I’m not convinced there’s any better sweet dessert in the world than Durian Ice Cream (ไอศกรีมทุเรียน). Well, of course, that is if you like durian – which I happen to absolutely adore! If you don’t like durian, you should still try this restaurant out because they also have vanilla ice cream that’s wonderful too.
It all goes down at Bangkok’s Ice Cream Sriyan (ไอศกรีมศรีย่าน), a little ice cream shop near the Sriyan Market in Bangkok’s Dusit area of town. The Thai Chinese owner has been elevated to legendary status throughout Thailand for one thing – his famous Durian Ice Cream (ไอศกรีมทุเรียน) – and that’s exactly why I had to have a taste. So after finishing a delightful meal over at the Jungle curry restaurant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=206fyrVr6HY just down the street, I was hungry for some ice cream. It was just a 5 minute walk and I was excited when I first arrived. My girlfriend had heard that all Thai locals could simply not resist ordering a second bowl after cleaning their first clean.
Ice Cream Sriyan (ไอศกรีมศรีย่าน) is a small family run Bangkok ice cream shop. I of course didn’t need to think twice before getting the Durian Ice Cream (ไอศกรีมทุเรียน) which came with sweet durian flavored sticky rice on top. My first bite was simply outstanding, by far the best durian ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. The flavor was strong but not overly so – I could just sense that he had used the finest and most pungent fruit available in the creation of the homemade ice cream. The durian flavor almost went up my nose a little, similar to a wasabi effect. It was incredible! The sticky rice on top of my bowl was another lovely touch. It wasn’t too sweet, but just perfect to switch of the creamy texture of the ice cream. One thing I also liked was that the ice cream wasn’t too rich, it was bursting with flavor, but it didn’t leave you feeling heavy or sweetened out. This really is the perfect Bangkok durian ice cream!
Like I briefly mentioned above, they also have extremely good homemade vanilla ice cream too, which you can order with the same sweet sticky rice on top, if you’re not into durian.
