1.) Kiintim (B35) (BK PICK!)

Kiintim strikes a good balance of flavor: sweet and creamy with a real taste of coconut courtesy of some delicious little fleshy chunks. It also gives off a pleasant aroma. The only complaint might be that it’s a tiny bit too sweet.
Verdict: All smiles.
In front of the grocery store Lor Yaowaraj, Yaowarat Rd., 089-927-9425. Open 8am-midnight

2.) Igloo Hut (B35)

This tastes a bit like frozen coconut juice or frozen yogurt rather than ice cream. Get past the icy popsicle, sorbet-like texture, though, and this is one refreshing treat for those who don’t like things too creamy.
Verdict: Ice is nice.
32/27 Soi Aree 2, Phaholyothin Rd., 02-279-5862, 081-875-5991. They also do delivery.

3.) Mr. Putter (B20)

One bite is enough of this sugar-packed treat. In fact, there seems to be a lot more sugar than coconut in this ice cream resulting in a saccharine caramel-like taste and texture—too rich and too sweet.
Verdict: Kid’s candy sweet.
In front of Zaap Express, Soi Convent, Silom Rd., 02-6355023. Open 10.30am-10pm.

4.) Ban Itim (B30)

The sorbet-like texture is very, very watery with almost no hint of coconut. It’s almost as if they’ve poured a tiny bit of coconut juice on crushed ice. Very gritty and bland.
Verdict: Total meltdown.
Nuanchan Rd., 084-650-4424, 086-615-5965. www.banitim.com. Open Mon-Sat 10am-9pm
