Häagen-Dazs were one of the first to create ice-cream mooncakes, and this year they have 4 different flavours (quite similar to last year’s) – White Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate and Strawberry Chocolate. Mid Autumn Festival falls on 30th September Sunday in 2012, so it is not too early to get them. Singaporeans tend to [...]

My memory of Swensen’s still remains at its ice cream, earthquake and Sticky Chewy Chocolate, though it has definitely revamped itself to include even Asian dishes such as Hokkien Mee and Claypot Noodles. And the 33 year-old restaurant just released a range of Gourmet Burger Bonanza, with six new mini burgers on the promotional menu. [...]

3 different friends recommended Alfero Artisan Gelato, and it was a sign I should have it since ice cream is quite my thing. Located right next to the entrance of Marina Square opposite Killiney Kopitiam, the cheerful staff of the gelato shop was very friendly to get customers in. Sometimes too friendly.

Ice cream makes the world go round, really. When you are stressed out or feeling down, sometimes all you need that scoop of ice cream. And at the newly opened Cold Stone Creamery, it is amusement land with cheers that will lift you up. It was an awkward, but hilarious moment when I was ordering [...]

Many of us grew up reading the comic strip of Charlie Brown, the born loser with the big heart and determination. This café is likely to bring you fond memories of Peanuts and Snoopy, and is an easy and welcoming place to hang around on a lazy afternoon. The Charlie’s all-time favourite breakfast ($6.80) I [...]

Imagine sitting at a little cafe away from the cityscape. The rain just stopped and you were just looking out of the window at the drops trickling down. Lovers and small families sat around square white tables, just enjoying the quiet moment and a scoop of their favourite flavours of ice cream. You wondered at [...]

In a white building filled with disputes, there is a little shop that offers sweet treats. It may seem to be a little mix-fit, but this reminds us that amidst the serious legal business, there’s always time for sugar comfort. Maxwell Chambers have become a place where arbitrators and lawyers come to settle commercial disputes, [...]
