12 Irresistible Snacks You Would Have Loved As A 90s Kid!
90s kids had it good: sure we didn’t have iPads to pass the time, but when it came to food, our childhoods were coloured with cheap snacks shared at the canteen table or playground during recess – or even in class (remember fake-coughing just so you could chew on your White Rabbit sweet?).
To commemorate those golden years, we’ve compiled a list of 12 nostalgic snacks you’d have loved if you’re a 90s kid.
1. Ice Pops
What’s a 90s snacks list without this treat? Eating them frozen on a sweltering afternoon was the perfect after-school treat. That while watching any show on Kids Central. Yes, we haven’t forgotten our beloved OKTO of yesteryear.
2. Mamee Monster
This was one of the most fun snacks to eat: salty, crunchy, and made to resemble instant noodles. Crushing it up was half the fun.
3. Wang Wang
It’s no surprise we were all fascinated to some degree by the mysteriously edible, plastic-like coating that encased our beloved, chewy White Rabbit sweet.
5. Fancy Gem Biscuits
These were fancy treats, only rewarded after we’d completed an assignment – and, while most kids probably adored the colourful gems of sugar that topped each biscuit, I would pick them off because they were too sweet for my liking.
6. Haw Flakes
Remember putting as many potato rings as you could on your fingers, and then licking your fingers when you were done eating them? Your childhood would not have been complete without this after-school snack.

There was something about these animal-shaped, salted snacks that made them so addictive. Maybe it was the animals printed on each cracker… or maybe it was just the MSG.
9. Hacks
I highly doubt the fact that Pink Dolphin was a ‘vitamin drink’ lent it extra street cred. It was, quite easily, the drink to be seen with. It also tasted quite wonderful – like magic liquid in the mouth.
If you’re craving for some of these snacks right this minute, it isn’t too late – hit up Sheng Siong supermarket or mama shops (convenience store) for a quick fix! You’re most welcome!

Definitely not your regular milkshake, these monster shakes are OTT (over the top) as hell. You probably shouldn’t be drinking (and eating) too much of them, but hey, no harm feasting your eyes on these photo-worthy milkshakes, right? Their oversized macarons have already been well-documented on Instagram, but The House of Robert Timms is also a popular spot for their ‘Over The Top Milkshakes’. Hot favourites include the Strawberry Whoopee and the Vanilla Bon Bon. The former is topped with Fruit Loops, chocolate sauce and rainbow sprinkles, while the latter is a shake that’s easily recognisable with a full-sized donut sitting on top. The House of Robert Timms This halal cafe can be found along the hipster area around Masjid Sultan. Known for their experimental menu of creative drinks and food, The Lab SG is getting creative with piling stuff up on their milkshakes too. Highlights include the rich Nutella shake, the Strawberry Cheesecake shake with nostalgic gem biscuits and Fruit Loops, and the Durian Caramel shake drizzled with smooth caramel sauce and topped with pretzels. The Lab SG The Refinery combines a craft workshop, a restaurant, and a bar. This high-ceiling, airy space is known for its minimalistic decor, though their fancy milkshakes are anything but minimal. Of note is the Chendol Mando, filled with the local flavours of gula melaka, red bean, green jelly, ondeh ondeh, and coconut cream. The Mr Nutella and Avocado Gau are also well-known favourites.

The Benjamins
Drawing attention to their fancy milkshakes since their days as Benjamin Brown, the revamped cafe and bistro, The Benjamins reopened late last year, continuing to serve up some of the best monster shakes in town.
Hot picks include the Nutella Banana Milkshake with mini pretzels and chocolate drizzle, the Black and White which is a rich concoction of all things chocolatey, along with the Old School Milkshake topped with a ton of Singaporean childhood snacks.

awesome salted egg yolk croissants spots too!
Cake Spade
With a name that rhymes with a certain designer label, the elaborate shakes at Cake Spade are pretty much designer milkshakes too. Or rather, ‘Cakeshakes™’, as the cafe has named them (yes, complete with the trademark).
The Unicone Cakeshake is a standout pick, promising a sugar rush and an Instagram session with its rainbow sprinkles and cotton candy. Of course, Cake Spade offers other cafe fare on the menu too, so customers can have their Cakeshake with even more cake, or wash it down with some tea or coffee.

Nothing soothes a tired soul like a good cafe and indulgent desserts. At DiscoverSG, we understand the need to pamper yourself, especially when life is so tough. We’ve got you covered, from flammable ice cream, and molten green tea desserts to a fancy chocolate and gold cake. Take a break and indulge in dessert! A French patisserie and tea salon named after the last queen of France, the desserts at Antoinette are as classy as the decor. Of note, their Baked Alaska is a popular pick, with flamed Grand Marnier liquor poured over the blackcurrant meringue, containing vanilla ice cream with ‘griotte’ cherries cooked in kirsch, orange confit and almond nougatine. This is not only a party in your mouth, but on the table too! Not just indulgent, but also pretty. This dessert tempts and delights! First off, everything on the plate is edible, from the flowers to the fluffy spun sugar decoration. The highlight is the pink rose meringue, which hides the yuzu cream, vanilla creme chantilly and vanilla ice-cream filling that pairs perfectly with the decadent meringue casing and the strawberries on the side. Irresistible! Antoinette You’ve heard of chocolate lava, but what about green tea lava? That’s what you’ll get when you cut open this green tea tart. The molten green tea centre isn’t overly sweet, and it goes extremely well with the crumbly tart and the sherbet on the side. 2am : dessert bar is known for a variety of other innovative dessert creations, but for green tea lovers, this is the standout pick. 2am: dessert bar A hot favourite dessert place on Burpple, Sunday Folks never serves up a boring cone, with the variety of toppings including Royce’s chocolate cubes, caramel popcorn, souffle cheesecake squares, fancy pocky sticks and more. As for the soft serve, their Earl Grey Lavender and Sea Salt Gula Melaka are hot favourites. Sunday Folks The well-known PS. Cafe does the classic sticky date pudding just right, with the warm pudding topped off with butterscotch sauce and a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream. This is one of the must-try desserts if you’re visiting the cafe for the first time! Also served with ice cream, expect two generous layers of moist chocolate cake topped with rich dark chocolate ganache. Many have taken to Instagram to dub this moist chocolatey goodness as one of the best chocolate cakes they’ve had. PS. Cafe The Disgruntled Chef The first eclair boutique and cafe in Singapore, L’éclair boasts “the twenty-first century eclair”, with unique fillings and artful designs, unlike the regular predictable ones we commonly see. If you’re in the mood for French dessert, try out flavours like their Hazelnut Praline with Valrhona hazelnut cream, Ispahan with light rose cream, lychees and strawberries, and Dark Chocolate with 66% Mexique dark chocolate cream. L’éclair Whitegrass Restaurant Which of these desserts will make the cut for mid-week pampering? Let us know in the comments!

4 Famous Food Stalls & 1 Humongous Playground That You Should Not Miss At ‘Ulu’ Marsiling
About a year ago, the only remotely interesting thing about Marsiling was SV Guitars, a music store that sells, yes, guitars and other instruments to budding and seasoned musicians. Unfortunately, much to the dismay of audiophiles, it quietly closed down and focused on its main branch at Peninsula Shopping Centre.
Granted, the unsophisticated town hasn’t taken its next step towards being cool, but the food, coastal park and eclectic stores still have something to bring to the table: its rustic charm. As if to say, “Yes, I’m an oldie. But I’m a goldie too.”
Yan Ji Seafood Soup
[caption id="attachment_3174" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Image credit: Yan Ji Seafood Soup[/caption]Picture it. Full-flavoured, tender fish slices that are as white as a sunlit snowdrift. A rich, hearty bowl of soup, that upon the first sip, makes you feel like you just had a religious experience. Yan Ji is one of the few stalls in Singapore that has won many praises from both regular and new customers.
Even local variety show Where the Queue Starts is a fan. If you manage to sweet talk the owner into giving you more soup, you’re my new hero.
Address: Block 4A Woodlands Centre Road #02-11, Singapore 730004
Opening hours: Tuesdays to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8.30 p.m.
Woodlands Waterfront Park
[caption id="attachment_2949" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Image credit: White as Milk[/caption]Woodlands Waterfront Park is right around the corner if you’d like to do a little bit of walking to burn those extra calories. Forget about going there during the afternoon. You might end up sweating bullets. Opt to go on windy or cloudy days.
The park tends to get quiet during the evenings (perfect opportunity to attempt the playground!), but if you walk down the jetty, you’d see that there’s quite a number of people. The reason? There’s a restaurant. Yeah, I can’t get over that, either.
Address: Admiralty Road West, Singapore 759956
Ahsia Food Stall
[caption id="attachment_3176" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Image credit: Small Potatoes Make The Steak Look Bigger[/caption]This roti prata is scrumptious even when it’s cold. Pair that with sardine sauce and you have got yourself an unforgettable dining experience. Ahsia’s roti prata is a perfect example of a common dish done uncommonly well.
The only downside about the stall is that there’s always, always a long queue. One time, my dad went there around 8 a.m. and found out that there’s no more prata left!
Address: Block 4A Woodlands Centre Road #02-76, Singapore 731004
Opening hours: Closes at 10 a.m.
Ah Keat Pig’s Organ Soup and Kway Chap
[caption id="attachment_3175" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Image credit: twtan14 on Hardware Zone[/caption]Ah Keat’s bowl of kway (rice sheets) may not hold a candle to Guang Liang Cooked Food’s at Bedok Reservoir, but its pig offal is a worthy contender. Order this dish with your friends, and I’ll guarantee (or not) you lot will wrestle for it.
If pork dishes aren’t your cup of tea, then you might want to turn your attention to the western food stall. Its chicken chop is fresh and generous. Note that the western food stall usually starts its operations during the early evenings.
Address: Block 211 Marsiling Crescent Singapore 730211
Opening hours: unpredictable opening and closing times
Old Woodlands Town Centre is slated for redevelopment works in 2016. If you want to try the dishes (Yan Ji Seafood Soup and Ahsia Food Stall), get your skates on.

不必再担心昂贵的价位 7大不超出预算的咖啡厅推荐!
启发小编写这一篇文章的原因是因为现在面子书上出现很多标榜自己是”价钱合理”的咖啡厅,结果都是一些需要花费$20++以上才可以得到一份餐点和咖啡的价位,根本一点都不便宜!甚至还可以称得上“很贵”!我希望我们可以不用再花费$8到$9吃一块蛋糕,还认为这样的价格“算合理”了!无论如何,小编今天就要和你们分享真正价钱合理的咖啡厅,毕竟在新加坡只要一说到上咖啡厅就一定不会便宜!但是对小编来说,只要食物价钱介于$10-$12之间都算合理。当然,如果$15包括搭配的饮料或茶就更好啦!
1. Drury Lane
烤牛肉三文治配上浇上焦糖的洋葱只需要$8,除此之外,他们的其他三文治种类也一律低于$10喔!
他们的蛋糕种类来自In the Brick Yard,价位大概保持在合理的$6-$7左右。值得一提的是,这里的咖啡比外面任何一间咖啡厅都便宜,冰和热抹茶都只需要花费$5.50而已!另外,这里也有“随便你付”的杯状小松糕喔!
Drury Lane: 94 Tg Pagar Rd, Singapore 088515

The Clueless Goat: 189 Thomson Rd, 307631
6.Tuk Tuk Cha
这里可以找到在新加坡价格最合理、最好吃的$10.80涩谷吐司(Shibuya Toast)喔!可能你会觉得$10.80不便宜,但是和其他外面的吐司相比,这里的可以算是便宜的了。

4 Hidden Ice Cream Spots You Should Totally Check Out At Toa Payoh!
Some days you feel like having the nostalgic one-dollar ice cream from the neighbourhood ice cream cart, other days you feel a tad more fancy and want to splurge on atas ice cream. Well, this list is perfect for those “splurge-days” when you want to give yourself a treat.
1. Creamier
[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/BCDVc3eBUnk/[/embed] [embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/BBuoaN9Nb53/[/embed]First up is a well-known favourite. This ice cream and coffee cafe is constantly packed with people (yes, even on weekdays) looking to get a premium ice cream fix, with signature flavours like their Sea Salt Gula Melaka and Mango Passion Sorbet drawing in legions of fans.
If anything, you should probably try out their seasonal and limited edition flavours before they’re gone. These flavours include Black Sesame, Chocolate Banana, and White Peach Chardonnay.

Regular flavours like Vanilla, and Hazelnut are a given, but Salted Caramel Almond gelato is becoming a fast favourite. Pair the ice cream with their premium gelato and belgian waffles for that indulgent treat. If you need a meal before savouring some dessert, they serve mains like fish and chips too.

3. The Little Prince Cafe

We heartily agree. Its cute interior, complete with whimsical wall sketches, is inspired by the classic tale of Le Petit Prince.
Of course, you’ll find the books of its namesake there as well. This makes it a great spot to savour their ice-cream, along with the tale that inspired this cafe. Try some fun flavours like Cotton Candy, or enjoy quality classics like Mint and Chocolate.

Their range of flavours include Raspberry Lychee Rose, Tiramisu, Madagascar Vanilla, and local-inspired favourites like Durian and Nyonya Chendol.

Chomp Chomp Food Centre – 5 Must Try Hawker Stalls Only Insiders Will Know!
Looking to satisfy your late night cravings? This iconic makan place retains much of its old charm.
Supper in the Singaporean context is a late evening meal comprising local fare that’s rustic, gratuitous, unpretentious and never nutritious – usually partaken in the company of compatriots at an outdoor hawker setting.
Chomp Chomp at Serangoon Gardens exists for supper-goers like me. The stores’ opening hours start at 6pm and extend beyond midnight. I was introduced to ‘Chomp’ in 2008 and have found myself returning religiously ever since.
Frequent visitors have a common process: Find a seat, remember your seat number, appoint someone to stay behind to ‘chope’ the seats while the rest split up and order food. In case you are unfamiliar with the iconic food centre, here are some food that you should absolutely order when you are there.
Ah Hock Hokkien Mee
On peak days, Ah Hock will inform you of a 40-minute waiting time so order this first. This drier take on Hokkien Mee pairs yellow noodles with normal bee hoon noodles instead of the popular ‘chu mee fen’ (thick bee hoon) strands. Because the noodles are cooked, or rather less cooked, to a firmer consistency, this pairing works better in this case.
My only gripe about Ah Hock is that on good days, the sauce is rich and flavourful, the prawns are fresh and the chilli is savoury while on other days, one or more elements of the dish will go awry. My tip: order no larger than the $5 serving to hedge your risk.
Chong Pang Huat BBQ Chicken Wings
Head next door and order good ol’ Chicken Wings – the classic supper food! Sure, Chomp Chomp is filled with other stalls selling chix wings, but while competitors have come and gone, this store has stood the test of time which should mean their doing something right. At least I think so.
Traditional Hai Nam Fang Yuan Satay
Facing the chicken wings stall, make an about-turn and you’ll find this Satay stall, but don’t order the Satay. I mean, you can, but that would be beside the point. You want to try their Rojak. The ingredients come in generous crispy chunks and the thick sauce has a nice smoky flavour about it.
Swee Heng Wanton Noodle
My definition of good Wonton Mee: firm but springy strands of thin yellow noodles seasoned with an almost colourless but flavourful sauce, of course embellished with thick cuts of Char Siew pork, blanched veggies and a side of Wonton Soup. This stall delivers just that – most of the time. If you’re a purist lard lover, you may want to look elsewhere because I couldn’t detect any trace of it.
Charlie Corner Healthy Juices
Finally, what better way to cleanse your palate than with a refreshingly healthy glass of fruit juice? For that, I like to go to Charlie (as you can see accompanied with my plate of rojak) if for nothing else than his jovial service.
***
Does Chomp Chomp serve the best food? I dare say, not really. But what’s unique about this place is the atmosphere. The place just comes alive at night and gives off a certain vibe. You have to visit to experience it.
