Why This New Cafe At Upp Thomson Is A Must Visit. Look At Their Waffles!
Nothing makes me happier than a delectable plate of waffle topped with sauce; sprinkled with almonds, chopped fruits, two scoops of ice cream; and completed with a macaron. Fortunately for me, I had two plates of that goodness. Twice in a week. Guilty as charged.
If you’d like to enjoy a treat, a chill place to unwind after a tiresome day, or some great waffles, head over to Les Patisseries at Upper Thomson. They moved from Toa Payoh and opened Nov 2015. We couldn’t resist paying a visit after we heard about their waffles.

We had their Horffles Waffle (two scoops of vanilla ice cream on a waffle with Horlicks), and Ispahan Waffle (two scoops of raspberry sorbet on a rose waffle). Both waffles came with a macaron, mixed berries, almonds, and sauce. The texture of both waffles on two different occasions was fluffy and crispy. Portions are quite big, so do share!

There are plenty of other waffle choices from Thai Milk Tea to Belgian Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Earl Grey, and Madagascar Vanilla. If you’re feeling crafty, you can create your own waffles according to your preference. Just pick your waffle base, how many slices you want, ice cream flavour and sauce. This DIY option will surely save you from all the stress of picking ONE waffle flavour.

Note: Waiting time for the waffles to be done was quite long, considering that Les Patisseries was relatively quiet when we were there.
At a price tag of around $14+, Les Patisseries’ waffles are more a treat than a regular dessert stop. Crafted with thought and care, they’re still definitely worth a try. So grab your friends and best buddies, and get ready to enjoy waffles that taste just as good as they look!

The Heat Is On! Are You Game For Some Competitive Eating?
You’ve probably seen Takeru Kobayashi shovel down hot dogs after hot dogs, or heard about L.A Beast a.k.a skippy62able who posts videos of his eating challenges on YouTube. But do you know that the competitive eating scene in Singapore is also very…competitive?
[caption id="attachment_6776" align="alignnone" width="960"]
Image source: Food League Singapore[/caption]
Earlier this year in January, competitive eater Zermatt Neo made headlines by chucking down a whopping 4kg of chicken rice under 30 minutes! (If you have no idea how much 4kg of chicken rice is, that’s basically 10 people‘s lunch) Then in February, he took on another challenge and wolfed down a 21-inch pizza in 10 minutes and 30 seconds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6rOJxLR1Sc
It’s a chicken rice party in him tummy
If your face isn’t contorted in shock, Zermatt also boasts (in different occasions) The Beast Burger Challenge, 123 sticks of Lok Lok in 30 minutes, 150 sticks of satay, 100 gyozas, 100 chicken wings and….

Enjoy Oysters From All Over The World! You’ll Have A Shell Of A Time.
Oyster lovers, listen up! The World Oyster Festival by Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro is back for another year!
[caption id="attachment_6600" align="alignnone" width="960"]
Image source: Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro[/caption]
Set to take place on the 1st of July 2016, this will be the fourth edition of the bistro’s very own festival. Like every other year, the festival boasts a good 20 varieties of oysters flown in from around the world for this special festival. Did we also mention that these juicy succulent oysters are fresh? They’re not frozen.
[caption id="attachment_6601" align="alignnone" width="960"]
Image source: Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro[/caption]
It is safe to say that July is the best time for us to enjoy oysters. Cold water is where you can harvest great shellfishes and around that time of the year, the waters in the northern hemisphere is still chilly and the southern hemisphere has already entered winter. That is literally the best of both worlds.
[caption id="attachment_6602" align="alignnone" width="960"]
Image source: Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro [/caption]
The World Oyster Festival is not only about eating fresh oysters but also a crash course in #oysters101. Like fine wine, the flavours of oysters differ according to region. Some can be a little more salty than others, while others are creamier, richer, metallic or even fruity like the Kumamoto Oysters (our personal favourite) that are famed for a honey dew finish.
[caption id="attachment_6603" align="alignnone" width="960"]
Image source: Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro[/caption]
Greenwood has yet to announce the price for this festival. Looking at past festivals, this is going to be a shell of a time. So mark it down on your calendar, share the news with your friends (don’t be shellfish) and follow us for more updates!

Star Wars fans, listen up! Whether you’re a Sith or a Jedi, Imperials or Rebels, Star Wars Day Singapore is set to take Kallang Wave Mall by storm from 30 April to 1 May, 2016! Now, isn’t that the perfect way to celebrate the long Labour Day weekend? *cues The Imperial March anthem*
May the 4th is an important day to all Star Wars fans and is celebrated worldwide. Although ‘Star Wars Day’ is not created by Lucasfilm, the film company that created this worldwide phenomenal has embraced the spirit of fandom that makes this day so special.
Partnering #MAYTHE4THSG, a Singaporean-based Star Wars fan collective, Kallang Wave Mall promises a fun-filled two-day celebration for all Star Wars fans, collectors, and families.
With their ‘base’ at the OCBC Square at Singapore Sports Hub, the festival will showcase all things Star Wars – from the original trilogy that began in 1977 to the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Visitors can look forward to an eye-opening galactic experience and get up-close with screen-accurate Star Wars costumes, courtesy of the 501st Legion and Rebel Outpost.
If you think that sounds cool, we have even greater news for you. The Force Awakens’ panel by Lucasfilm will take place over both days of the event! Yes, you’ve heard people raving about it during Comic Con and now it’s your time to witness it with your own eyes.
For the juniors, check out FightSaber Kids Workshop and get into some ‘bdzzew bdzzew’ action. While they’re at it, sign them up for the Kids Fashion Parade too!
And the force doesn’t stop just right there. Spend $60 and above at any of Kallang Wave Mall’s tenants (or $100 at Fair Price Xtra Kallang Wave) to receive a free express pass to the Star Wars Day Singapore photobooth. If you spent over $120 (or $180 at Fair Price Xtra Kallang Wave), you’ll walk away with a BB-8 umbrella! This promotion is only valid from 30th April to 1st May.
For those who want to stock up on some collectibles, there will also be a pop-up concept store selling Star Wars merchandise at the atrium of the mall over the weekend.
Our next dose of galaxy battle, ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’, will only come by this December. While waiting for it to arrive, why not storm down to Kallang Wave Mall this weekend like a Trooper and celebrate the force! May the 4th be with you!

Among the dishes that diners will have the opportunity to sample include home-made in-house cured Bottarga, Acqua Pazza (an Italian seafood soup with poached fish and other treasures of the sea).

Bounce Singapore
Originating from Melbourne in 2012, Bounce Inc is an international sensation that has redefined gravity across the globe. Their park locations include South Africa, Hong Kong, Thailand, Europe, Abu Dhabi, and more.
This epic urban playground consists of interconnected trampolines, Freerun Terrain Park (like the one on Ninja Warrior Mount Midoriyama), and “Leap of Faith” – jump on a raised platform and leap out to catch hold of the trapeze. There are all in all, 3 areas in the park. The areas are based on interests and levels of difficulty. There’s something for everyone – adults, fitness enthusiasts, youths, and kids.
Not to worry, the park is safe as all hard surfaces are replaced with circus-grade padding, giant air bags, and springs.
Bounce Singapore will be opening their doors this June. In anticipation of the grand opening, they are hosting a recruitment unlike any other. Aside from being able to demonstrate your skills and charisma, auditionees will be given the exclusive opportunity to enter and have fun at the adventure park before its official opening.
If you fit the bill, do head down to *SCAPE for the audition!

Japan’s BAKE CHEESE TART Opens This Week – All You Need To Know!
The wait is almost over. Japan’s famous BAKE CHEESE TART will finally be serving freshly baked cheese tarts in ION Orchard starting from 29 April 2016 (Friday)!
Hailing from the land of the best and yummiest dairy products – Hokkaido, BAKE’s signature cheese tart is created by blending three different types of cream cheese together – two from Hokkaido, and one more from France. The three cheeses go so well together that they form a flavour that is unique to BAKE.
But what makes these cheese tarts so delicious (#queuedfortwohours type of delicious) is the two-step baking method which gives it a distinct crunchy yet fluffy texture. The process starts in Hokkaido. Cheese mousse is piped into freshly baked tart crusts. They are then flown to Singapore and freshly baked in the store to complete the process of creating perfect, delectable cheese tarts.
Since the inception of their first store in Hokkaido back in July 2011, BAKE has sold over 20 million tarts in Japan and its overseas stores including Hong Kong, Seoul, and Bangkok. The Singapore store will be their fifth store outside Japan, and their flagship store for Southeast Asia. They are counting on Singaporeans and the power of social media to spread the word to the rest of the world.
BAKE is certainly committed to making the best cheese tarts in the world. This is their only product and they pour their heart and soul into perfecting this dessert treat.
BAKE Cheese Tart’s freshly baked cheese tart will be available at ION Orchard starting 29 April 2016.
Each cheese tart will sell for $3.50, and a box of six is priced at $19.50.
BAKE Cheese Tart
Address: ION Orchard, #B4-33, 2 Orchard Turn
Opening hours: 10AM – 10PM
We’re certainly joining the queue on the 29th of April! Will you be joining us? Drop us a comment and let us know!
