I waffle you


hiiii. I'm finally back, the past few months were hectic. There were so many changes in my life and I actually did screw up my academics a little. Changed jobs, and the transition was crazy but now it's all good. Hopefully I have more time penning down about my life and spending time with my loved ones. I'm currently just done with my second semester and thinking if I should extend my studies to one more sem. That being said, I had 2 day school week and had some free time before all the transitions and school work came in like tsunami. So I had pretty much time spent on eating waffles. Welcome home, cellulite. Sigh

Here's what my cellulite are made of, waffles from :


Pique Nique


My unimates are dying to appear on my blog. HI BEST UNIMATES.
It happened soooooo long ago I can’t remember what we met up for, but I remember we were at Pique Nique cause we wanted a place to sit down and talk in town, that was kinda the best place we could find. Highly raved waffles from my idol, Andy, but it turns out to be just average for us. Nope, not going back for their waffles + ice cream.





p/s : Shout out for the most awesome unimates ever, 


HELLO LIMON, JAMES, JOLENE, I BLOGGED ABOUT YOU PLEASE RATE ME 10/10 NAO. :D


Nearest MRT : Orchard 

Address: 391 Orchard Road #08-05 Ngee Ann City Tower A, Ngee Ann City, 238873

Department of Caffeine



It happened one fine day after school. Shermane, Adeline and I decided that we shall go to one of the cafes at Duxton hill after prayers and we ended up in Department of Caffeine for brunch. 




Yup we are religious like that. Savoury waffles for me as mains while they had other food.






I thought the waffles were not too bad, they had dried tomatoes and something else in it but the price was a little more in my opinion. But nonetheless, good meal with a nice atmosphere!

Nearest MRT Station : Tanjong Pagar / Chinatown
Address : 15 Duxton Road 

SIN LEE FOODS



I remember it was the first 3 weeks of sem 2 cause of Saturday class and whatever la. Met Andy and Fenny for brunch at Sin Lee foods since we were wow-Ed by the waffle x chicken patty combi. I saw it many times on TV and it seems relatively popular in the states and of course it looks like it's freaking yummy. So I think my expectations were higher than what I received.

Fenny used a super chim phrase to discuss the food that day, avande grade. Yea it was.


Meh.

Nearest MRT : Tiong Bahru 
Address: 4 Jln Bukit Ho Swee, Singapore 162004



Creamier Ice Cream


Owner to also, Sunday Folks, we accidentally had waffles there that day, I mean since we manage to get seats, why not right. Speaking of Sunday Folks, I’m still not fated to try their waffles but I guess they would taste the same? One interesting thing about them is that they take a lot of pride in their waffle, and only served when it looked perfect. Paired with their flavourful ice cream, just take my money.



Nearest MRT: Braddell
Address: 128 Lor 1 Toa Payoh, 310128

OBLONG ICE CREAM



One fine day, Adeline dropped me at the cafe to grab ice cream before sending me home after idk what la. I had earl grey lavender and she had rocky road, and I was quite pleased with quality. And since it's so near my house, I brought my supper kakis, Conan and Yingzi to the place one moody day wtf. And it gradually became the my next favourite place for ice cream. ( I got a bit bored of Udders to be honest.)




Erm, the waffles were not my thing but I have to admit that I love their affordable pints of ice cream. A pint would only cost $10 and it makes me happy and occupied in my self proclaim room studio. 



My favourite flavors are earl grey lavender and spooky dark chocolate. That's a shot of indulging a pint of earl grey lavender while watching beauty and the beast.  Down side about that café would be smelling like a waffle after being there for too long. 



Nearest MRT: Serangoon /Lor Chuan

Address: 10 Maju Avenue 

REVELRY



I have 3 hour breaks in between classes on Wednesdays so Adeline brought me outta school to have lunch at ...

Carpenter and cook




Carpenter and cook has awesome decor and they actually sell them! It's a favourite and usual place for the bffl but it was my first time there. Amazing decor, loving it too. 

Then desserts at Revelry a few shops down.
Actually we saw it cause Adel's car was parked directly outside the shop. And I was like " omg is this the cloud nine waffle place?" And she's like "what?!" Totally didn't get me. 


It was around CNY period, which explains this.


Normal tasting waffles , super cool blue cotton candy. Too sweet for me. cannot finish


Nearest MRT
: Clementi , or upcoming Beauty World station

Address :  
21 Lor Kilat, 598123

STATELAND CAFE



Another random date with the one who refused to create instagram, we just had the feel to and then Adeline came to pick me up for ice cream. #bfffl.

Stateland cafe has a story of low setup and what not, a two storey tall cafe, we had yeast-infected waffles. It was too unique for our liking.




Nearest MRT : Bugis 

Address 32 Bali Lane, Singapore 189866

FAT CAT



One fine weekday, the very free Andy and Angie decided to visit the Fat Cat cafe after that rave of charcoal waffles and salted egg sauce. I remember the whole Singapore was really serious about the salted egg trend and this was just one of it. Simisai also salted egg, these people really ah.



Earlier that week, my Unimates brought me to eat salted egg sotong. And the week before that, they went without me. Back to the waffles, it was overpowering for me. We shared and I still couldn't finish MY portion wtf. 

Yummy Waffles + Sauce nonetheless! 


The mojito sphere, looking like a super pale egg yolk also added up to my unique experience. It's like a burst in your mouth, like magic wtf. 

Pardon my bare face though.





Nearest MRT : Bedok

Address:  Blk 416 Bedok North Avenue 2 #01-25 Singapore 460416

Rabbit owl depot.



I believe that day was a last minute surprise meet up for Shermane's birthday. We had like what? An emergency kakao Chat group set up and Reg's successfully tricked Sher to Bugis library where the As ( Adeline,Audrey and I , hehe) appeared with a mini cake. #surprisesuccess. 


We then head to the cafe opposite the National Library and shared waffles and ice cream. Yum!



We later then dropped by Shop Wonderland ( another favourite place of the bfffl) 
Forever minus one wtf.

Nearest MRT : Bugis
Address :  420 North Bridge Road, #01-06, Singapore 188727



The Daily Scoop




That's Leon's hand by the way, accompanied by Andystorm's accessories all over the table. Yet another itchy mouth ice cream waffle time after a NAFA Concert (free things to do in Singapore). 

We were at the SOTA branch and it wasn't my first time having their ice cream. They serve both (what I called) default flavours and gourmet flavours. The gian png me always try out their flavours but always go back to their default flavours like chocolate. Eh very nice eh! So yup, here's my very normal chocolate ice cream with waflles. Simple and nice.

Opening Hours : 11am-10pm (Mon-Thurs), 11am -10.30pm (Fri-Sat), 2pm- 10pm (Sun)



Hatter Street


Hatter Street tops the list for the best waffles in my heart. Just one day, I decided to crash my friend's neighbourhood for some ice cream and waffles after work. I had waffles with pandan flavoured ice cream. It was good. Period.



Nearest MRT : Kovan
Address212 Hougang Street 21, 530212



The above cafes featured are not in sequence of my visit cause they happened sometime back and the dates were not really worth my brain cells...


Thanks for reading !

CoolPlay soft serve Singapore

 "很熱hor , 很熱hor , 很熱hor ", was what we heard on the radio while on our way for some cool treats. The weather today was sooooo hot everyone deserve something icy. #excusescells #fat #icecreamisaneed

Anyway the BFFL and I tried out CoolPlay soft serve today! It was not really a planned meet up, cause normally we plan meet ups like wayyyyyyy before hand and the planned day out was on Wednesday. We went to the art science museum for the dreamworks exhibition and the deep exhibition. Both were so good! Learned so much and so awed by the universe. 
P/s : art science museum Y U NO has annual pass?! :( 

 I had to work in between but we met up for dinner + ice cream after that. It was only after dinner and the bffl brought up this new place. It was past their operating hours so we thought, we go nearby ice cream then soft serve the next day. 

Tada ! Here we are. 


It was kinda different from what I thought? I thought there were tables and you know, the typical cafe settings, but I was wrong. What was in the shop was just the counter top, a bench and a wooden top with some cool moustache photo taking tools. 


During our visit there, there were 3 flavours on sale ; heavy chocolate, strawberry and honey walnut. 

Since it was our first time there, we asked politely for recommendations and the shop keeper gave us some samples to try. Which was helpful because honey walnut sounds cool to me and but I ended up not liking it. And surprising found out that the heavy chocolate goes well with the strawberry.(we mix ourselves and try first la wtf) 

Spoke a little to the shopkeeper and she mention that the flavours change frequently and heavy chocolate is the only staple. We saw flavours like Sir Whisky, matcha etc on the net, and I believe they rotate the flavours around and adds in new flavours from time to time. 
Le bffl hooked to playing that pinball game. 

Both of us shared a mix swirl, SGD$5 which was a good decision. I mean both of us can eat alottttt of ice cream but this one got us feeling full even though we shared. P/s : single flavour is $4.50 

Ok okay verdict time !!!

Me says that it was average, heavy chocolate is really heavy. It taste like dark chocolate while strawberry tasted like it was made from real strawberry. I'm quite particular about strawberry flavoured food but I'm cool with this one. Wtf I'm punny. It's not the kind that you (me la) would crave for?

Le bffl felt that only the first few scoops is flavorful and it gets tasteless after awhile. 

Will I come back again? 
See my mood first and what's on the menu too. Q

Nonetheless, this cool kid on the block is located in one of the oldest neighbourhood, and ten minutes from the MRT station. 

Address : 85B Lorong 4 Toa Payoh. Singapore 312085

Opening hours : 11 am to 9pm from Tuesdays to Sunday.
