Well, this is one place that's solidly set into every Chennai foodie's regular dessert spots since the time it opened. And located on the road that is chock full of good restaurants, this cozy ice cream parlor is set in the lower portion of a house. You will see some expensive cars parked here with their owners getting out to indulge their sweet tooth. You may wonder if you can afford it. Well, it's expensive but they try to make it worth every penny quality and quantity wise. This visit with two friends was no different. Spotted the owner Deepak Suresh, tending to the ice creams himself while he gave instructions to the staff to heat up our brownie. :D
We ordered the famous combo of Caramelized white chocolate ice cream along with the Underbaked cake. If this combo ain't famous yet, it ought to be because it melds together in that perfect way. The underbaked cake is pure delight. Just has to be tried. But it is very heavy so take a few friends along if you don't want to fill up your tummy! We had tastes of the peanut butter ice cream which was very good too! You can ask for a small sample of any flavor you want to try before ordering a scoop.
Although a scoop costs close to 200 bucks here, personally I feel the quantity is almost 1.5 times or more the size of an Ibaco scoop. Amadora's ice creams are made in-house with ingredients sourced from within the country as much as possible. Their tagline is "Eat local, eat fresh." and they seem to be following it. The other item we ordered was the brownie which I hadn't seen in previous visits there. It costed 120 rupees and was another knockout. Very rich and full of chocolate of the best kind, the brownie was superb. The three of us struggled to finish one scoop of ice cream, underbaked cake and the brownie and almost lost our appetite for dinner! The bill came to around 450 bucks including taxes. Everytime I visit this place, end up trying the same combo and miss out on tasting the other flavours! They change their flavors weekly from what I've heard so it's interesting to check it out once in a while for the sheer variety.
