V^3 Review: Baskin Robbins

Right now, as you may notice, Perth is experiencing a plethora of heat waves and strange weather. I find it hard to walk outside without the scorching heat burning my face off. So how do we forget about the climatic troubles Perth is facing? "How about we forget our troubles a nice bowl of strawberry ice-cream."

So to give you an idea of where nice ice cream is possibly found, we ventured to an internationally recognised Baskin Robbins store. An ice cream parlour franchise at heart, this place gives you minutes on the lips and years on the hips. We find out if this dairy delight really lives up to its hype.


That day we decided to scoop into four different flavours:

Mango Tango

This flavour was as it suggests (quite tangy) it gave you that kick in the mouth of mango power and described as quite sweet. A combination of mango ice cream with swirls of mango syrup. A marriage of mango goodness that melts together in the mouth results in quite a good ice cream. 3.5/5

Very Berry Strawberry

This ice cream was rather good to say the least, a nice and creamy strawberry mixture coupled with chunks of frozen strawberry. The strawberries were frozen and had an icy texture to contrast with the creams. Its a delightful twist to an old favourite. 3.5/5

Rainbow Sherbet

This ice cream was rather experimental for myself, having never tried a sherbet ice cream , I can confirm now that I am more partial to creamy ice creams. This rainbow sherbet has a texture that was more like a sorbet, which was quite icy and thus melted too quickly. It is very sweet and would probably attribute to thirst on a hot day, but nonetheless, that taste is very nice. By itself, it is excellent, I would not recommend having this flavour with a cone. They do not go well together. 2.5/5

Orange Sherbet
No picture was taken for this one, regardless, the orange sherbet was like that of the rainbow sherbet, the same texture but orange. it was quite delightful but did not go well with the cone. 3/5

Baskin Robbins will always be a nice offering of ice cream on those hot days. with 31 flavours, there is bound to be one that you will enjoy. V^3 will travel Perth in search of the best ice cream in future. For now though, V^3 gives Baskin Robbins 3/5.
