[Review] Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream - China Town
There are two branches of Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream and they are famous for its purple ube ice-cream and other sweet treats.
Mamasons specializes in Filipino ice cream with special items during the weekend when there are more people.
There are two branches, one in Chinatown and one at Camden.
As I was at Leicester Square, I tried Mamasons over the weekend as they had the donuts as well.
I went for the ube icecream on ube brownie as well as the donut.
If you have tried Flipino food, a majority of it can be quite sweet but overall Flipino food is extremely delicious especially dinuguan, pinkabare, taro leaves etc.
At the Chinatown branch of Mamasons, you can expect it to be quite busy being in a prime location so best to visit on week days.
The ube donut was just pretty, an ordinary donut contrasted by the purple creme which had a rich and fragrant ube taste, however the doughnut dough was a little disappointing because it wasn't yeasty and it was rather oily and yellow just like Chinese donuts.
As for the ube brownie, it was definitely different because it was made of ube hence the dark purple.
Unfortunately, I found the texture too sugary but luckily the ube ice-cream fared better.
Also had tea, but it was too hot to handle as they didn't have cup sleeves but luckily they gave me another cup.

At the Chinatown branch of Mamasons, you can expect it to be quite busy being in a prime location but the Camden branch is much nicer and quiet.
On this visit, I had the hot ube coco which was a winter drink of velvety ube and white chocolate hot coco, topped with freshly made ube whipped cream.
Unfortunately I found it too sweet and milky.
The ube cream on top was a bit too stiff and waxy.

The Catford Cat
Catford town wouldn't be Catford without a cat.
In 1974, a giant fibreglass cat was installed at the entrance of Catford Centre by Owen Luder from Embassy Signs to purrfect the opening of Catford Shopping Centre.
The cat is still here as of today, March 2020 and hopefully it will be here forever.
LONG LIVE THE CATFORD CAT!
