Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast, Singapore - Brownice Facade

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast – Singapore

I have heard of Brownice Ice Cream and how delish it was but I have never tried it. I was glad that I finally did. It is so unexpectedly outstanding. It is a hidden gem. We headed over to Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen located along East Coast Road for their other food as well.

 

At Brownice, they believe in being kind to animals, the planet and our bodies, hence they don’t use animal products, soy and artificial ingredients in their food.

The ambience of the cafe is causual with warm lighting. There is a little Scandinavian feel to it.

 

 

Starters

Out of the 8 starters on the menu, we tried 2 of them. We also tried 2 new starters which are new, currently are still off the menu.

 

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast, Singapore - White Truffle Fries ($10)

 

First, we started with the White Truffle Fries ($10). It won the heart of all 6 diners. The fries were amazingly awesome with all perfect elements present. First, there was the crispy exterior and mushy potato interior. We could savour the flavours of fresh potato. Next, the truffle scent was presented to both the smell and taste. The vegan cheese enhanced the experience.

 

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast, Singapore - Sicilian Arancini ($12)

Next was the Sicilian Arancini ($12). It is a cheese-filled risotto croquettes serves with a tomato based sauce. Basically, it is fried risotto ball. A pity I couldn’t savour much of the cheese as the cheese weren’t disturbed evenly. We were neutral to this dish.

 

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast, Singapore - Avocado Spring Roll

 

The next 2 dishes are new. First was the Avocado Spring Roll. The roll consists of avocado and abundant chopped onions. Personally, I didn’t enjoy this dish as it was overwhelmed with the pungent flavour of raw onions. As I hate raw onions, therefore this dish isn’t for me or anyone who dislike raw onion. Fortunately, we could savour the creaminess of the avocado.

 

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast, Singapore - Quinoa Salad

 

The last starter we had was a new salad dish, the Quinoa Salad. In it are beetroot, a fruit, quinoa, cherry tomato and rocket. It was a light and refreshing salad. 50% of diners liked it, while the remaining was pretty neutral to it.

 

Risotto

The only risotto on the menu is the Truffle Mushroom Risotto ($18). The dish is lightly truffle flavoured with good amount of considerably thick slice of different types of mushroom. In it are also also tiny dice of bell pepper to add crunch.

Overall the dish was decent, a pity it was a little too watery.

 

Pizza

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen offers 9 flavours of Pizza. If you can’t decide on what you want, go for the Four Seasons Pizza ($18); unless you don’t enjoy olives.

 

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast, Singapore - Four Seasons Pizza ($18)

 

Initially, I was skeptical about their pizza since they use vegan cheese. How could it be as good as the “real” cheese? I was taken aback as the cheese has as a similar texture to the “real” cheese. The pizza isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. And I noticed that Brownice offered White Pizza since tomato sauce was absent on the pizza.

 

Pasta

Like the Pizza, 9 pasta dishes are offered. We tried 2 of them. In general, they have only 2 type of sauces for their pasta. Either the rich homemade tomato sauce or mushroom sauce is available.

 

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast, Singapore - Lasagna ($17)

 

We have the Lasagna ($17), a crowd. In it are eggplant and tofu crumble sandwiched between the layers of pasta and covered in tomato ragu sauce. It is a simple filling comfort food.

 

Brownice Italian Vegan Ice Cream and Kitchen At East Coast, Singapore - Truffle Mushroom Gnocchi ($18)

 

We also tried the Gnocchi. It is with either tomato or mushroom sauce and we chose the Truffle Mushroom Gnocchi ($18). The gnocchi was soft and chewy.

 

Ice Cream

Never missed out on the ice cream. These vegan ice cream though there isn’t diary products added, only vegan ingredients, the taste isn’t compromised. In fact, it tasted as good as the premium gelato if not better.
