Frequently Asked Questions
Is I-Scream better than other gelato brands?+
It depends on what you value. I-Scream focuses on fresh, handmade production in Hong Kong, natural ingredients with no artificial preservatives, and bespoke flavor development. Mass-market brands win on price and ubiquity; we win on freshness, customization and certified food safety.
Is I-Scream gelato made in Hong Kong?+
Yes. Every batch is handmade in our own factory in Yau Tong, Kowloon — pasteurization and freezing happen in a single machine, eliminating cross-contamination between steps. Nothing is imported pre-made.
Can I-Scream create a flavor other brands don't have?+
Yes — that is our specialty. We have created over 600 flavors, from Moutai to Coconut Nian Gao, and we develop custom flavors for hotels, restaurants, weddings and private-label clients.
Does I-Scream supply businesses or only individuals?+
Both. We supply over 400 premium destinations across Hong Kong — hotels, restaurants and venues — and sell gelato cups, tubs and event cart services directly to customers online.
How is I-Scream different from store-bought ice cream?+
Store-bought ice cream is typically mass-produced with stabilizers and shipped through long frozen logistics chains. I-Scream is artisan gelato: made fresh locally with premium ingredients and no artificial preservatives, delivered by our own cold-chain fleet.
Can I-Scream create gelato for restaurant menus, not just desserts?+
Yes — that is one of our specialties. We tailor-make gelato that integrates fully into a chef's menu: gelato served as a sauce with steak cuts or other main dishes, or as an appetizer paired with cold plates. Think spices in a creamy gelato texture, or floral gelato designed to pair with cocktails for bartenders. If your kitchen can imagine it, we can churn it.
