My Favourite Ice Cream Cafe in Singapore, The Daily Scoop

Wishing all readers and fans of Lace And Buttons a Merry Christmas!

Here in Singapore, although we don't have snow, a great a way to feel the cold is to ....... have ice-cream!

And that was what I did yesterday at one of my favorite ice-cream haunts, the Daily Scoop, at Holland Village.

It is hidden away from the main road along the shophouses near Chip Bee Gardens.

I love the ambience of the place... cosy and happy.. Just look at the type of deco they have.

They serve many special flavours not found at other ice-cream parlors, for example chilli chocolate and salted ice-cream, just to name a few.

I love their Durian Ice-Cream! It is made from "Mao Shan Wang" (a top grade Durian species) which explains its rich flavour. The texture is smooth and creamy, and does not melt too quickly, which appeals to me. I personally do not like ice-cream that melts before I can even enjoy it. I can actually eat bits of the Durian when I'm munching on the ice-cream!

Only $4.00 with cone

My hubby ordered the ice-cream waffle at $5.80 with a chocolate flavoured ice-cream, the Kookie Monster. He loves chocolate to go with his waffles so the chocolate sauce completes the dessert.

I love this ice-cream parlor so much, I've made trips down to Holland Village just to eat the ice-cream!
So here's the address for all ice-cream enthusiasts out there!

#01-78, Chip Bee Gardens, Singapore 278115.

Yummy Porridge Buffet At Rajah Inn

I was really busy recently so am delighted to finally get some time off to have a nice porridge buffet at Rajah Inn restaurant at Tiong Bahru Plaza yesterday. Have been a fan of this restaurant for a few years now as it serves relatively decent lunch time only porridge buffet at only $7.90++ per head!

Mince pork, Curry Chicken, Stewed Pork, Steam Egg with Crabstick, Fish Cake, Fried Fish Fillet, White Cabbage with Carrots, Stewed Bean Curd Skin ETC.

Enjoying my meal! Wearing the Aztec Basic Top from Lace And Buttons

The range offered by the porridge buffet is adequate though not extensive. I would said most of the dishes are home cooked style favorites among the Chinese and very rich in flavor so that it goes well with Teochew style sweet potato porridge which is bland with a mild sweet taste. The restaurant also serves mini steamboat buffet or you can opt for their steamboat set meal at less than $10 per head.

Mini Steamboat Buffet Menu

The porridge buffet is available everyday from 11.30am to 2.30pm. So if you are in the mood for some porridge, this is definitely one place you can visit.

Trend Winter Fashion with Pullovers

I have recently fallen in love with pullovers.

It's not like I have never worn any pullovers before but I have a new found love for these sort of designs recently. As it is the winter season in many countries right now, the local fashion trend includes knit wear and pullovers of many designs. Personally, I never thought of adding pullovers to my wardrobe as I thought Singapore is too hot and humid. I changed my mind soon enough. 

I love pretty colors and realized many trendy pullovers or winter wear often carry gorgeous shades, which complements their classic shape perfectly. These fashion pieces are not only practical (keep us warm in cold weather and air-conditioned places!) but also add some cheer to the otherwise gloomy weather in winter with their beautiful colours.

It has been raining quite a fair bit in Singapore and that is when I decided to bring in some pullovers for my rack at Multi-label boutique, Miyoc JCube.

Really adore the three pastel shades (salmon, green and pink) of this basic oversize pullover! I have a great time taking photos in these lovely pieces. More photos can be found here.

So if you are contemplating whether you should get a nice pullover, I would say go for it! Get one that you are likely to use often in air-conditioned locations and which makes you look good.

With so many designs on the apparel market, you are bound to find something that suits you.
