There’s always time and place for ice cream and waffles. Honestly, is there anything not to love about waffles?
Trust the perfect waffle and ice cream combination to perk up your dreary week. Here’s a list of the best waffles in Singapore.
1. Twenty Grammes
A sweet aroma of vanilla and milky goodness greets you as you step into Twenty Grammes, reminiscent of late Sunday mornings when a scrumptious brunch of homemade waffles was in order.

Their S’mores Waffle ($15) has got to be one of their best creations yet. The waffles are infused with graham crackers to give it that crispy exterior. Chocolate hazelnut sauce is drizzled all over the waffle along with crushed graham crackers.
Pair it with a scoop of gelato of your choice. Top it off with torched marshmallows and whipped cream. This S’mores Waffle definitely hits the spot after a long week at work!

Creamier definitely trumps in the number of ice cream flavours offered. Not forgetting their waffles that are well executed – crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You’ll never get jelak of their waffles and ice cream!

Their freshly churned ice cream is consistently good, and they often introduce seasonal flavours to keep things fresh. We highly recommend their two best sellers – Earl Grey Lavender and Sea Salt Gula Melaka.
Ice cream here starts from $3.50 a scoop, with premium flavours going at $4.50 a scoop.

3. Wimbly Lu
Wimbly Lu is practically synonymous with waffles as it was one of the pioneers behind the waffles craze in Singapore a few years ago.

There’s just something about the waffles here that feels so right. You feel instantly warm and comforted once you take a bite of their waffles.
While the waffles may look ordinary at first glance, you know what they say – do not judge a book by its cover. The waffles here are fluffy and light.
We do love their waffle paired with Salted Caramel and Honey Cinnamon Ice Cream – best for a treat yo’self day. You can choose either a single scoop ($8.50) or a double scoop ($11.50) of ice cream to go with the waffle.
Wimbly Lu Shrove Tuesday fully embodies its name with their extensive menu which you can’t help but devour.

One of the popular items on their menu would be the Nonya Chendol Waffle ($13.90), which consists of 2 scoops of chendol gelato and vanilla soft serve, topped with Azuki beans, chendol jelly, desiccated coconut flakes before drizzled with Gula Melaka.
If you love your chendol, then we highly recommend you trying it in waffle form from Shrove Tuesday

The magical Unicorn Whoaffle ($14) comes with with a scoop of Lavender White Chocolate and Toasted Marshmallow ice cream atop their chewy Whoaffle.
The horns were all meringue and certainly added to the cute factor of this dish. Whip out your phones because this set is great for the gram’.
Hatter Street This amazing concoction comes with vanilla bean ice-cream, caramelised bananas, milo crumble and drizzled with a healthy amount of milo sauce – a recipe for happiness! Strangers’ Reunion With its mint green storefront and matching pastel furnishing, it comes as no surprise that Lickety stands out from the row of souvenir shops and Middle Eastern restaurants. The star of the show is definitely their Egglet Ice Cream Bouquet (from $8.90). The egglets comes in two flavours – buttermilk and red velvet. You can choose either of these flavours or go ‘half-and-half” if you want the best of both worlds. Lickety carries a wide assortment of flavours ranging from my personal favourite Honey Lavender and Earl Grey and Fig to more localised flavours such as Taro Yam. This dessert is definitely best shared between two people! Lickety If you’re in need of a laid back, messy hair, lazy kind of Sunday, then Sunday Folks is right up your alley. The folks behind this cafe takes pride in concocting their own original recipes and paying homage to the freshness and tastefulness of their desserts. Their desserts don’t just look good – they taste good too! I’ve always loved their Sea Salt Gula Melaka Ice Cream Waffles ($11.80) . You can expect a freshly baked Belgian waffle paired with strawberries and drizzled with maple syrup and chocolate hazelnut sauce. Trust me, the amazing waffles at Sunday Folks won’t disappoint! Sunday Folks Their Chocolate Rootbeer Waffle with Charcoal Vanilla Soft Serve ($12) is definitely a hit among customers. The rectangular waffle comes with a chocolate chip cookie, and an ash grey charcoal vanilla soft serve to top it all off. The charcoal soft serve had a hint of root beer in every mouthful, which does not overwhelm the original vanilla taste. The Cold Pantry Nestled amidst the quiet, laid-back charms of the old Yishun town, Holy Cow Creamery is a great chill-out spot. Escape to Yishun (can’t believe we’re saying this) for your dose of Ice Cream & good times. Enjoy their delicious ice cream concocted in their very own kitchen, paired with crisp waffles. We highly recommend their charcoal waffles if you’re looking for something different from the plain ol’ waffle. Holy Cow (Header Image Source: @twentygrammes)

Martin Zwerts Opens Its First Store In S’pore – Offers Classic Dutch Frites With 13 Different Sauces
Fries are one of the quintessential Western sides and we absolutely love them.
These strips of fried potato can be easily found everywhere, from fast food restaurants to the humble Western stalls in our coffeeshops.
Personally, I’m a potato wedges kinda guy but I never ever reject potatoes in any form. If you love fries, we’ve got news for you.
The renowned Dutch snack outlet known for their Frites (Fries), Martin Zwerts, will be opening their first stall outside of The Netherlands, in Singapore at Holland Village, Holland Piazza on 27 April 2018!
Fries For All
Established in 1948, Martin Zwerts Potato Daddy (Yes that’s the name of the brand. Grow up.) is famous for their Dutch Patat Frites.
[caption id="attachment_34133" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]

Patat frites are usually thick cut and served in a cone with a sauce of your choice. Martin Zwerts’ Patat Frites are no different.
[caption id="attachment_34135" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]

They will be offering a selection of 13 different sauces for you to choose from. Some of their unique sauces include their signature Frites Sauce, Kerrie Onion Sauce, and Satesaus.
[caption id="attachment_34134" align="aligncenter" width="890"]

To cater to our hyper-localised tastebuds, Martin Zwerts will be offering the new Golden Salted Egg Yolk Sauce, BBQ Sauce and Rendang Sauce.
Their frites come in 2 sizes. There’s the Small Frites which goes for $5.50 per cone, and the Large Frites which goes for $6.50 per cone.
While Frites are their signature item, that’s not all you’ll find on their menu.
They also serve up a variety of other snacks such as Meatballs, Chunky Fish Fingers, Onion Rings, Prawn Fritters, Bitterballen, Spring Rolls and Krokets!
Last but not least, there is a Martin Zwerts Frite Club Loyalty Program.

Dear S’poreans, Let’s Be Considerate Neighbours And Not Visit M’sia On 8 And 9 May
May is going to be an especially important month for our Malaysian friends.
The 14th Malaysian General Election is set to take place on 9 May 2018, where members of the 14th Parliament of Malaysia will be elected.
A Facebook post published yesterday (22 April 2018) by Singaporean user Zax Jabronee Lui has gone viral.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155151389746260&set=a.452772766259.245829.603016259&type=3
His day-old post has garnered 161 likes and has been shared 2,055 times by Singaporeans and Malaysians alike, at the time of writing.
The post is an earnest plea for Singaporeans to refrain from going to Johor Bahru unless absolutely necessary.
The aim is to free up immigration and customs and ensure a smooth entry for Malaysians returning to vote, as well as encourage Malaysians working in Singapore to return to vote.
Let us do our friends a favour and spread the word.

Office Workers Can Eat ‘Atas’ For Cheaper With This New Delivery App
Lunch breaks can feel like a chore especially if there is not a variety of food options around your office area. Trust us, we’re damn sian of the food in our office area already.
If you feel the same way as us, then fret not. There’s a brand new app in town that will make you look forward to having lunch everyday.
Best part, there’s no delivery charges and no minimum orders!
The Modern Tingkat
Plum is a food curation company that is about to revolutionise the way we think of lunch.
Instead of the traditional food delivery apps that we are used to, Plum curates an entire menu every day so you no longer have to spend time looking, buying and waiting for your next lunch.
Plum’s restaurant curation team managed to scour over 6,000 restaurants in Singapore so you have the option of gourmet meals at insider prices.
[caption id="attachment_34116" align="aligncenter" width="960"]
Leon Kee’s Bak Kut Teh ($5.90)[/caption]
There’s even halal and vegetarian meals available everyday so everyone has an option on the Plum app.
[caption id="attachment_34117" align="aligncenter" width="768"]
Image Credit: Plum Food SG Facebook[/caption]
Their menu changes daily so be sure to check out the Plum app every day!
But there’s a catch, Plum currently only delivers to certain pick-up points and is not available island wide yet.
Current pick-up locations include Fusionopolis, Metropolis, Biopolis, Mediapolis, Raffles Place, One George Street, Ocean Financial Centre, Marina Bay Financial Centre, and soon, Tanjong Pagar.
[caption id="attachment_34118" align="aligncenter" width="720"]

So not all of us are able to enjoy this amazing service yet. For those that are working near these pick-up points, hop on over to the app and check out their menu.
All you have to do is sign up for an account,
choose from the daily curated menu,
and proceed to pay!
Do note that there is a cut off time for orders so you might want to pre-order your lunch by 10.30am to secure your first choice.
First time users can use their promo code “WOWPLUM” and get 50% off their first meal purchase.
[caption id="attachment_34119" align="aligncenter" width="1772"]
Image Credit: Plum Food SG Facebook[/caption]
In 9-to-5 environments, lunch breaks isn’t always such a big deal, but making time for a healthy lunch can pay off both mentally and physically.
Here’s to hoping that Plum expands and offers more pick up points islandwide!

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.

Face Your Fears This Friday The 13th At Science Centre’s New Exhibition
Does the thought of drowning scare you?
What about being buried alive?
Face your fears at this brand new exhibition that explores the science behind fear.
Rationalise and conquer your fears at Phobia²: The Science of Fear from 13th April onwards.
Clowns, Coffins And Claustrophobia
Guests will embark on a journey about common fears and phobias as well as self-discovery. So if you’re planning on overcoming your fears, we suggest you bring a friend with you.
[caption id="attachment_33963" align="aligncenter" width="280"]
GIF Credit: giphy.com[/caption]
This exhibition is designed to stimulate guests with a low-level anxiety experience so you don’t have to worry about any clowns jumping on you or being trapped in a tiny box.
We went through it and survived to tell the tale. We promise you, it’s 100% safe.
Designed by Newman Entertainment International (NEI), the exhibition features all sorts of interactive galleries for guests to gain a better understanding about fear.
Here are the galleries we highly recommend!
Buried Alive
[caption id="attachment_33952" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]
Buried Alive Gallery[/caption]
Have you ever had a dream where you’re being buried alive and you scream but no one ever hears you?
Taphophobia is the fear of being buried alive. So if you ever want to know how it feels like to be buried alive, all you have to do is slide under the coffin and see it for yourself.
We got to try it out ourselves, safe to say, we don’t ever want to face that situation ever again.
Sideshow Carnival
We all hate clowns. Nobody likes clowns.
Needless to say, this clown gallery scared the living daylights out of us.
[caption id="attachment_33959" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
Sideshow Carnival Gallery[/caption]
You can expect to enter a space which is decorated like a side-show carnival. This room contains various sculptures, a life sized comical clown and interactive displays.
This was hands down the freakiest gallery in the entire exhibition.
We could barely last more than 5 minutes in this room.
Claustrophobia
[caption id="attachment_33960" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]
Claustrophobia Gallery[/caption]
Claustrophobia is the fear of enclosed spaces and boy oh boy, this particular one felt like there was no way out.
As you walk into this tunnel, it becomes smaller so you are required to stoop down and squeeze out into a small winding tunnel to exit.
The exit was so small that we had to get down on our hands and legs just to be able to get out.
Do remember that you can bypass this experience by taking a ‘Chicken Out’ door.
The Stage Is Yours
[caption id="attachment_33961" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]
The Stage Is Yours Gallery[/caption]
Have you ever given a speech in school or work that made your palms sweaty and your knees go weak?
Speaking in front of a crowd may come naturally for some but a nightmare for others.
The exhibit offers guests the opportunity to stand in front of a projection dome. You are to read out loud from a teleprompter to a projected audience who will then react in real-time to the comments made in the speech.
We couldn’t help but feel slightly insecure when the crowd started laughing mid-speech but don’t worry, they’ll give you a standing ovation at the end.
Give this one a try if you haven’t tried speaking in front of a crowd.
Sitting For An Exam
[caption id="attachment_33962" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]
Sitting For An Exam Gallery[/caption]
Studying for an exam is pretty nerve wrecking, especially when your final grades depend on it.
Enter a room with study desks that contain TV panels built within the desk tops.
Through the TV panels, students will share their experiences on exam fears and provide tips on how to overcome them.
If you know someone who fears sitting for an exam, bring them here to learn tips and tricks on how to overcome their fears.
Phobia²: The Science of Fear is the perfect opportunity for you to conquer your fears. With over 14 galleries for you to choose from, this exhibition is truly educational and highly interactive.
Who knows, you might eventually face your fears this Friday the 13th.
Grab your friends, gather some courage and head on down to Science Centre for this exciting exhibition!
Phobia²: The Science of Fear
Price: Admission to the exhibition is free. Standard admission charges to the Science Centre applies.
