Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day Is Over, But You Can Still Get Free Ice Cream This Weekend

While we all enjoy Ben & Jerry’s or Cold Stone Creamery, sometimes we just want a simple ice cream sandwich from the humble ice cream uncle.

You remember him with his scooter, offering some of your favourite ice cream flavours such as Peppermint Chocolate Chip, Mango, and Raspberry Ripple, sandwiched between your choice of wafer or that magical rainbow bread that we all thought has its own flavour.

However, it doesn’t matter whether you prefer wafer or rainbow bread because we all love free ice cream. Free cone day might be over but don’t fret.

Free Ice Cream!?

Klook has partnered with F&N Creameries and will be offering FREE ice cream sandwiches on their booking platform for customers to redeem from selected ice cream uncles along Orchard Road from 20 to 22 April 2018, between 2pm and 6pm.

This collaboration is an initiative to help our friendly ice cream uncles go digital and convert into cashless payment.

Here’s how the redemption works.

Firstly, download the Klook app.

Secondly, select an ice cream sandwich and add it to your cart on Klook.

Next, apply the promo code ‘HELLOUNCLE‘ and check out.

Lastly, take the voucher to your selected ice cream uncle to redeem your free ice cream sandwich!

In case you got lost somewhere, here’s a how-to video.

You will be able to choose your flavours during the redemption of the ice cream sandwich.

However, do note that the redemption is limited to 300 ice cream sandwiches per uncle, each day.

Because Orchard Road is a long stretch, here are the exact locations of each ice cream uncle.

Lok No Further, Here Are The Best Lok Lok Spots In Singapore So You Don’t Have To Travel To JB

I’ll always remember the first time I ate Lok Lok out of a converted van in JB. Although it was a tad unhygienic, it was a truly fun and unique dining experience.

Lok Lok is a dish consisting of various deep-fried foods such as meats and vegetables that are served on a skewer and traditionally dipped into thick satay sauce.

Lok Lok is EXTREMELY underrated in Singapore. If you haven’t tried it, honestly why?

So here it is. Here’s a list of Lok Lok spots you can enjoy in Singapore so you don’t have to travel all the way to JB.

Up All Night To Get Lok-y

This Lok Lok buffet offers up to 60 different types of skewers, cooking methods – boiled, deep fried, bbq as well as a huge variety of sauces for you to combine and make it your own.

Best part, this Lok Lok will only cost you $24 nett/pax from Tuesdays to Thursdays and $27 nett/pax from Fridays to Sundays for all you can eat!

2. Chuan Le Xiang Lok Lok

This next one is a little bit out of the way but definitely worth the trip.

This old school Lok Lok dining experience is a passed-down 25-year Singapore family-kept recipe extracted from Satay Bee Hoon.

There’re three soup bases for you to choose from (chicken/mala/satay) but we highly recommend the satay base. Each base pot will cost you $8.

Best part, each stick goes as low as $1 so you know you’ll be leaving this place with a food coma.

4. JQ Pot

Tucked away in Pasir Panjang Food Centre is a shop that sells Lok Lok with a twist. Instead of dipping your skewered ingredients in peanut sauce, you get a pot of gooey melted cheese.

The cheese used is a mixture of nacho cheese and mozzarella. In case you’re someone who downs cheese like water, they provide refills for free. So you can eat all the cheese that you want.

Their Cheesy BBQ Lok Lok ($38) comes in a set which includes 18 sticks of food of your choice. You can also order additional skewered ingredients if you’re still hungry!

5. Hock Leng Satay Bee Hoon & Lok Lok

Hock Leng Satay Bee Hoon and Lok Lok is known to sell one of the best Lok Lok in Singapore.

Although this stall doesn’t offer a wide variety of ingredients and pot bases compared to other Lok Lok joints, what sets them apart is their savoury and thick satay sauce.

The owners of this stall have been hawking this iconic dish for over 50 years in the Old Airport vicinity, so you know you’re in for a real treat!

There is a minimum order of 7 sticks, and ranges from $1.20 – $3.00 per stick. You can expect plenty of vegetable skewers and even udon wrapped in pork belly!

Located in Chomp Chomp Food Centre, you can expect a 45 minute wait as the process to prepare these skewers involves coating the chosen skewers in their special homemade sauce and either grilling these skewers over a charcoal grill, or deep frying them.

However it’s truly worth the wait, so sit around, enjoy a drink or two while Wang BBQ & Grill prepares their special Lok Lok for you.

If You’ve Always Wanted To Go To A Frat Party, There’s One Happening This Wednesday

If you’ve seen any American Pie movie or Bad Neighbours, you’d know that Hollywood has a rather dramatic portrayal of university life.

The insane frat parties, loud party music, kegs upon kegs of booze, and all the coolest kids in school.

The event, a collaboration between a group of university students and Club AVRY, will be happening this Wednesday, 11 April 2018.

Are you 18?

To enter, you will need to present your university matriculation card and ID. If you’re alumni, you may also use your old matriculation card. Entry is free for ladies and $10 for guys. It’s for the House Fund.

On top of that, everyone will get a free initiation drink on the house. Guests who wish to join Alpha Sigma will have to perform a special ritual and down a super drink before entry is granted. Classic frat house.

Each party will be powered by DJs from various universities. This week’s party will feature selected DJs from NUS.

During the party, look out for activities such as Beer Pong (of course), Beer Bong, and the Tequila boys who will be going around with water guns filled with vodka.

There’ll also be a Gummy Bear going around with a bag of alcoholic gummy bears.

Find and show him the number of Instastories you’ve taken at Alpha Sigma and he’ll give you a handful of vodka gummy bears corresponding to the number of Instastories you’ve taken.

And that’s not all. At the end of the night, Jello Shots will be given to all guests. Take a photo of yourself doing the Alpha sign, tag #Clout #AVRY #AlphaSigma, and upload it to Instagram.

Present the Instagram post at the door and every 20 likes gets you 1 free Jello Shot redemption coupon, with a maximum of 10 Jello Shots redeemable per person.

Beers go for $10 a bottle at Alpha Sigma. But if you think you’re a fast drinker, challenge the Beer Chugging Wall Of Fame.

Chug a beer as fast as you can and if you finish within the top 3 timings, you’ll get the bottle of beer for free!

If you’re looking to experience a fraternity house party for yourself, gather your friends and head down to Alpha Sigma at Club AVRY this Wednesday!

Bored Of Leg Day In The Gym? Train And Enjoy Singapore’s Scenery At OCBC Cycle 2018

With more executives paying closer attention to their health and physical wellness, exercise has become a part of everyone’s weekly routine.

However, exercising regularly does not remove the dread we feel when we have to tackle cardio workouts. Fortunately, there’re many ways for you to do cardio.

Enter, Cycling! It lets you clock in your cardio hours, train your legs, and travel around! Who doesn’t love the feeling of the wind in their hair?

No one does cycling better than OCBC Cycle and this year, the annual cycling extravaganza is happening in May!

A Casual Cycling Affair

While the OCBC Cycle might sound like a competitive cycling event, it is not! You can choose to take it easy and go for the non-competitive rides.

While The Straits Times Ride (23km) has been sold out, there’s still The Sportive Ride (42km).

Roads and sections of the expressway are closed off for cyclists participating in both rides, offering scenic sights of Singapore’s city skyline – great way to get their Instagram-worthy selfies done!

Family Fun For Everyone

Cycling makes for a great family activity. Loop the kids into the fun and participate in the Mighty Savers® Kids and Family Ride!

Themed ‘Bubbly Fun’, the route comprises zones that will be filled with curtains of endless bubbles!

Children as young as 2 years old can participate in the 100m course, while the older kids get to spend 20 – 30 minutes on the circuit.

For children between 2 – 5 years old who are participating in the 100m course, one parent will be allowed to walk alongside them for supervision.

Don’t forget your cameras for that Kodak moment!

A Team-Bonding Event

The OCBC Cycle also makes for a great team-bonding activity for your company.

Gather your colleagues and join as a team of 4 and compete against other corporate teams in the OCBC Cycle Corporate Chase spanning 42km!

There will be a total of 30 corporate teams and each company will be able to send 2 teams of 4.

The winning team will be crowned the OCBC Cycle Corporate Chase Champion, complete with a trophy, a champion’s jersey for each rider as well as $400 prize money!

1^st and 2^nd runner up teams will receive $300 and $200 prize money respectively.

In the mood for a chillax ride with your colleague? Go for The Corporate Bike Ride or The Business Times Cycle of Hope – No race, no stress, no problem!

Discounts Galore And More Goodies

Signing up for OCBC Cycle this year will also entitle you to many discounts such as the Loyal Cyclists discount, discount on The Straits Times Run, as well as a further 10% discount when you pay using your OCBC Credit card.

That’s not all, your event pack will include an OCBC Cycle Shoe bag, a 2018 Mobike pass, a NETS FlashPay card with $2 stored value, vouchers from Robinsons, Timbuk2, and Polar, Personal Accident Insurance, your respective cycling jersey, as well as the 2^nd piece of the unique 3-piece OCBC Cycle Finisher medal.

#NoBikeNoProblem

You don’t even need to own a bike to participate!

That’s right, Mobike has partnered up with OCBC Cycle so that participants are able to reserve and use a Mobike for the event!

While bike rentals have been available all along, participants had to pay for their rentals. This year, it’s completely free of charge!

However, do note that there are only 2,000 Mobikes up for rental, so sign up early and reserve your bike!

If you’re looking to unwind, OCBC Cycle 2018 is the best place for you to cycle on open roads and take your mind off work.

So gather your friends and family members and sign up for the OCBC Cycle 2018 here!
