Discover Uncle Dee's in Pekanbaru, a must-visit for affordable and delicious ice cream. While it melts incredibly fast, the rich, milky flavors are worth the rush. Try the recommended Waffle Peanut Ice Cream with its warm waffle and crunchy toppings, or the decadent Chocolate Oreo Sundae. This spot offers incredible value for money and fantastic service, making it a perfect, budget-friendly treat for anyone looking to chill. Just be ready to eat it quickly
Anjay, I just got it and wanted to take a picture, but this ice cream started giving me a 'Fast & Furious' show! It melts ridiculously fast, it feels like being even a little slow is disrespectful to it😂
But to be fair, the flavor is seriously Mantap! It's super milky, not that watery, icy kind of feeling. For someone indecisive like me, I struggled in front of the menu for ages, but finally listened to a regular's recommendation and chose the Waffle Peanut Ice Cream[1]. The waffle was served warm, and paired with the ice cream and crunchy peanut bits, the texture combination was amazing. My friend's Chocolate Oreo Sundae[2] was also super rich; chocolate lovers can go for it without a second thought.
If I had to be picky, its texture can't really compare to chains like McDonald's; it's not as dense and smooth[3]. But considering the budget-friendly price, what more could you ask for? The value for money is off the charts! It's perfect for bringing the kids, or for students on a tight budget at the end of the month looking for a treat.
As usual, here are the key points for you guys:
All in all, if you're in Pekanbaru and looking for a place to Chill and have some cheap and delicious ice cream, you can't go wrong with this "Uncle Dee's" place
- Eat it fast! Don't just focus on taking pictures, this thing really melts fast[4]! For my girls who want to take nice photos, it's best to find your angle before you order.
- Nongkrong during off-peak hours: The shop is small with limited seating[5]. If you want to dine in comfortably, try to avoid mealtimes and weekend peak hours.
- Amazing service: I have to give a shout-out to the staff! We arrived just before they were closing that day, and they were already cleaning up, but their attitude was still super great and patient, not a hint of impatience[6], major brownie points!
- This ice cream melts at lightning speed, testing your hand speed limit! You have to eat it fast [1]!
- The Waffle Peanut Ice Cream is a texture bomb! Warm waffle, cold ice cream, and crunchy peanuts make for one satisfying bite [2]!
- Incredible service! The staff are so patient and enthusiastic, even at closing, making you feel completely at home [3]
