Scoopz: Your Next Handcrafted Ice-Cream Outlet

Food ♥

Scoopz has open a new cozy cafe outlet at a little corner along Thomson Road. 

And thanks to Nicole, I was invited for an awesome food tasting experience!

As usual, the bf is always unable to make it therefore I brought someone else who loves sweets/desserts as much as I do… And he's no other from my favourite daddy boo!

What makes Scoopz special and different? 

Scoopz has a range of handcrafted ice-cream flavours to choose from.

These flavours changes almost weekly (unless it's a popular flavor that many love, you'll see it back every week).

I'm really glad that I'm able to find my favorite flavors here at Scoopz, cause not many places would have lavender flavored ice-cream! But right at Scoopz, i had the choose of my two favorite flavors (lavender and earl grey) in one and it's a.w.e.s.o.m.e! i'mma happy girl! (:

Before we proceed further, let's check out how this little cafe looks like on the inside.

A little corner filled with games for entertainment while enjoying your dessert and sweets!

Check out what other services Scoopz has to offer.

Find your normal ice-cream cake boring?

Can't find a design you like?

Scoopz also offers customization services.

Customized to your preference.

(Do check with them regarding designs).

Time for some food-tasting..

First of first, introducing Scoopz lava cake with a scope of ice-cream flavor of your choice!

Definitely a MUST have at Scoopz!

Look how happy the daddy is!

Eat it along with some ice-cream and whooola~ 

It's a thumbs up!

Sometimes, you need to taste it yourself to know what I mean.

Just using words itself to describe, sometimes it's hard for others to believe aye?

Next up!

Waffles with 3 amazing scope of ice-cream!

(Root Beer, Rum & Raisin, Lavender Earl Grey).

One to share with a group of friends, incase it's too much to handle! (:

Enjoying my waffles and ice-cream like a little kid.

Last but not least. 

After all the sweets, you can never go without tea/coffee to end the lovely dessert meal!

Cute design on daddy boo's coffee!

Before I end my post, I would like to thank Ms Tham for behind a lovely host during our time spent at Scoopz. The daddy boo and I had an enjoyable time chilling out with our yummy desserts.

Blissfully Sweet Valentine 2014

Lifestyle ♥

It's been awhile since I last blogged, and yes I do miss blogging but due to my busy work schedule I haven't quite had the time for anything else besides just wanting nothing but sleep, sleep and more sleep! Alright, maybe just a little wee bit of korean dramas and running man before bedtime! Hehehe. I seriously wonder what life would have been without it. They make really good stress relievers! (:

Right.

Back from side-tracking...

I've actually done up a short little post about my sweet valentine's date out with D on Dayre, if you have been following me on Dayre!

Anyway, Valentine's Day is finally here once again! 

A day to share the love be it for your other half, family or friends!

This year's valentine's day had a pretty unsatisfying kick start with me falling ill with a really bad cold, cough and fever. Followed by a few other stuffs that happened while I was away on MC.

A day where I was feeling pretty down though it's a day I've been looking forward since it hit the month of February! Haha.

Well, thanks to D for trying to cheer me up and making me feel all better.

I got the chance to experience this lovely place with him! Max love indeed!!

We did some googling to see if there's any romantic dining spot we could spent a few lovely hours together, when I chance upon this place. With what I felt like a really nice ambience and reasonable price. So, why not?

Here we are at Wheeler's Yard! ♥

It looks like slightly better looking renovated warehouse on the outside.

(I find this place really interesting in fact).

Let's fast forward a little into the interior for now.

Special menu just for Valentine's!

4 different sets to choose from this 3 course set meal.

What's special about this cafe?

Well, usually you get served upon getting seated.

But here at Wheeler's Yard, after getting seated you will need to head to the cashier counter to place your order and make payment before proceeding to collect your drinks and food.

Everything here is self service! (:

(love the deco at the cashier counter! romantic isn't it??)

After placing your order and making necessary payments, we were given this beeper!

To collect our food, drinks and dessert!

There was actually a choice of Red Velvet and Choco Carmel.

But we came a little too late and Choco Carmel was out.

Well, Red Velet's good too!

D totally loved it! And had my share too.

Haha

There goes my baby, happy with his coffee and Red Velet cupcake!

Our photo moments to make this day & place a memorable one! ♥

 Finally, after all the waiting.

Food is served!

We were pretty famished by then.

For starters,

Mushroom Soup!

Followed by the mains,

His: Rib Eye Steak

Hers: Pan Seared Salmon

After I was more or less done with dinner, and since it's valentine's day.

What every girl would love to receive…

FLOWERS!!

I didn't get any that night.

And so, I started asking D.

Me: Darling, where are my flowers?

D: Here, for you!

Me: -.- 

The tables were sweetly decorated with rose petals, roses and candles.

Definitely a romantically setting to dine with your other half.

And, pretty handy if a guy didn't prepare any flowers either.

Sigh.

Anyway, after a hearty meal. It's time to take a little tour around place.

Everything about this place, just makes you feel a little like home.

With it's modern yet vintage style of settings and decor.

It's cozy yet comfortable.

I really love the decor of this place!

Check out our long table setting!

Bicycle's on the table!!

Bike helmets hung on the wall, as wall displays.

Parts of a bicycle.

Cozy corner!

Time to check the decor outside!

Well, you not only get to dine indoors (cafe) but you get to dine outside as well.

A cafe bike shop, where you get to dine as well as shop for bikes.

Pretty awesome idea!

I like how the whole place is being decorated and "well-used".

That's my boy getting playful ♥

Haha.

With that, ends our little sweet valentine's dining session at Wheeler's Yard.

Definitely a lovely place!

The food isn't that bad for starters but maybe the next time round, it would be good to be back for some cakes, tea and coffee instead!

Totally, can't wait to bring daddy, my girls and homies here!

I found a new favorite hot spot to chill and dine! 

Even D likes the place too! 

It'll be nice to be back here again with D (:

There are still thousand and one things I wanna blog and share with you lovely people! From the latest awesome dramas which I try to keep up with to my quiet yet happy CNY to some really great offers! Please bare with me, while i'll try to find additional time to blog a little more often. I hope you guys have had a great Valentine's Day!

p/s: I totally love that valentine's day gift! 

♥♥♥

Enjoy the weekends while it lasts.

x o x o.

Till then.
xoxo.

Review ♥

Looking for a nice chill out place?

Looking for a place you could have small functions/gatherings/parties?

♥♥

You shouldn't give this place a miss then!

 Talent Cafe 

What is it all about?

Talent Café is a 2 storey cafe/bistro conveniently located at the end of Tras Street and in the heart of Singapore CBD and financial hub. 

It is a place for talents and diners to share their creativity or spark new ideas, where stories are shared, formed and told, where networks are built, great ideas are born and a lasting relationships formed forever. The coming together of minds to spark off new ideas and movements, have been our true inspiration. 

Comprising of 5 distinct space, where each room has individual themes; singular but broad enough for a piece/s of work to stand out, the environment hopes to provoke thoughts and inspires an action. Diner gets to enjoy a unique dining experience with combination of creativity and movements, coupled with good food and array of beverages and desserts, it will be an environment that is cohesive for dinners and talents to come together, experience, collaborate, create, perform, brain storm ideas or discuss business plans, chill out while engaging in food drinks and conversation that perhaps lead to business deals and a start of partnership or relationship. Diners can let go and have fun, discover their hidden potentials or see the other side of their friends. 

NOT only does Talent Cafe allows professionals to gather, create and spark ideas it also has the flexibility of becoming a space for exhibitions, performing stage or to transcend and cater for corporate events, launches, small engagement or birthday parties, workshops! The possibilities are just endless and it can be a space that only your imagination can bring to life.

Talent cafe's food is served from a variety of selection of dishes from European Comfort and Japanese Fusion menu. Each dish is carefully created while prices are kept affordable and with careful consideration of the environment, health and demands. 

The European Comfort menu was created with mind of dinners to experience real comfort of European home cooked food which includes varied salads, pastas, oven baked or roasts and desserts. While the Japanese Fusion menu eclectic approach was to create special homemade sauce and broth to suit all palates while indulging the health conscious diners. Japanese menu varied from sushi, sashimi, makizushi, temaki, yakimono, agemono, teppanyaki and menrui. Some signature recommendation from both menus will be Thumbs-up Meatballs, Ginger Orange Chicken Sandwich, Pesto and Spicy Prawns Olio Pasta, Marakesh, Volcano Maki, Oishii Maki, Tori Terriyaki, Sake Belly & Gindara Shio Sumiyaki, Ebi Tempura, Tori Curry Udon, Talent Café & Spicy Ramen and Tori Katsu Curry Rice.

Well, talent cafe is more then what it looks. Doesn't it?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

After dinner, what's next? Some tea/coffee along with yummy desserts yes?

Chance upon Talent Cafe once with my dad after dinner, but never had the chance to give it a try until that Saturday night.

It was a lovely saturday night after dinner at dad and mine, favourite Korean BBQ restaurant with mom, her friends and D (who came really late). It was a pretty random night, walking in ordering desserts along with different flavoured tea.

Talent Cafe manager, Paladin was really nice and kind to bring me on a tour round Talent Cafe. Telling me everything to clear my curiosity. Since it was an impromptu visit, I wasn't quite prepared. But thank goodness for cameras (I've learn to ALWAYS carry it around whenever I'm out). Well, as I've always said.. pictures tell a thousand words. Don't you agree?

I was always curious about Talent Cafe, wondering why are they called Talent Cafe. I initially thought, it's where talents would gather for performances and such. But it turns out Talent meant more then that. Talents refer to people who are talented in whichever area, from Cooking, Art, Painting, Performance, Drawing etc. It got me all interested, since i'm an Art major as well. (Well, not just arts but performing arts).

Besides it all, Talent Cafe has a simple design yet stylish and it gives you an artistic feel to the whole place. I love how the place is designed. It also gives a pretty cozy feel, a great place to bond and have gatherings with close friends with it's small capacity and space.
