Taking Away the 'FRO' to get 'LICK'!

Yes i've already told you I'm not a fan of Frolick's.
But the point is, lovely bumble bee and I stumbled upon a brand new chill out place at Tanjong Katong Road yesterday.
A innocent looking shop dotted along the road, if not given a second glance would have probably made it seem like just another run off the mill cafes that inhabit on this street of Singapore.
Entitled 'LICK', the anagram stands for Little Ice Cream Kafe(Brillantly cute isn't it?).
After dinner at MagicWok(a little delightful place for thai cuisine), honeybee and me walked up the street back to where we alighted near the student hostel to find this amazing spot.
Comfy, cosy and chill. Sofas aplenty, albeit the space in the shop was limited.
Now the ice cream is very good, sporting a variety of flavours we had never seen before.
There was even a 'Kaya Toast' flavour. (?_?)!!!
After trying out some of their more interesting flavours, we decided on a combination of Wild Strawberry and Frozen Watermelon:



Much to our delight, Mondays are free combinations day! So we added a mix of fruit loops to the frozen delight.
Turns though later, I was spending more time discerning with each scoop of ice cream which was strawberry and which was watermelon.
Oh well.
A sweet surprise though, they cater to parties!
And if its friday, its a day full of ice-creamery goodness with their $10.90 ice cream buffet(student priced!)!
Awesome awesome awesome stuff.
Ok check back soon to see if i've discovered more interesting places to dine!

Taxi Taxi!

Let me tell you about this super nice taxi uncle i met yesterday.
When he pulled over in front of my house backdoor entrance, he realised his netts machine wasn't working!
I told him that I could pay him back(cos i didn't have enough cash with me) if i went up to get the money so he offered to send me back all the way to my doorstep(or basement step rather) at no extra charge!
Not only that, he waited downstairs for like 10+ minutes for me to get the cash and didn't leave the meter running at all, so it was still the price i had to pay like 15-20 min earlier.
With the late night charge he could have 'earned' so much more!
Thank God really for cabbies like these that make my day, especially since I was so conked out after Sheron's party.

*Scape is the Place to Be

I think i should really make blogging an everyday habit seriously.
Making something out of nothing, being STOMPish. LOL
And we kept talking about some illuminati nonsense while talking about our debate project.

OK but I'm here not to rant about that, I'm here to promote this awesome place at *SCAPE, actually, two.

The first is this place called 'Music Cafe'.
The name doesn't sound much, but its more than meets the eye.
Food that's awesome at affordable prices, plus Happy Hours that give you 1 for 1 drinks valid for 6 hours, doesn't that sound awesome enough already?
Add to that, spacious, comfortable furniture that's a treat for the eyes coupled with DJ mixed R&B songs to chill the night away, you got more than a perfect place to hang out with your friends.
No doubt that at the time i visited was a week night, it was quite obvious that much of the cafe was unoccupied, apparently people were quite oblivious to the fact that there was actually a cafe that existed there.
Staff was friendly, and hoped they appreciated the redbull we gave them haha!
Oh and guess who showed up at the cafe on tuesday night?
Muttons to Midnight!
Double whoppee that evening.
Get your butts here before this place becomes overpopulated.

The 2nd place I've got in mind is actually Red Mango, some of you guys might have heard it before, its this place where they serve frozen yogurt, much to the likes of Yami and Frolick.
However, after tasting both their closest competitors, i'd say that I prefer this one the most.
Yami's sour while Frolick's just plain bland, this one is somewhere milky in taste - the taste i crave while eating yogurt.
Did i mention the Granola tasted extra crunchy and smelled delightfully roasted?
Until 30th June, they're having a 1-for-1 promotion and any type of yogurt you buy so please do yourself a favor(or flavour, yes quite a bad pun really) and give it a go.
To those new to the frozen yogurt scene, its not to late to miss out the best in life other than the world cup.

Alright, adios amigos!

A Quickie

I'm sorry i know i haven't been blogging in a really long while since AC, i think.

Just got through a 36 hour fast earlier today.
Awesome once i hit the end, but the last 12 hours was hell, with lots of nausea.

Good news soon!

Anyway I'm working on my Bauhaus and video editing this weekend as well as a shoot so I'm very unavailable(even though its holidays already, supposing-ly) so no parties, no tik-toks, no she-wolves, no gotta feeling(just plenty of meaning), no dinner, no dine-ups, no dine-downs, no ups-and-downs-and-spin-it-all-arounds, no hotel room service and no ho-zeh.

But you can ask me out on 14 June onwards!
