LollyTalk Acquired Collection & Sneak Peek into LollyTalk's newest upcoming launch!

Review ♥

LollyTalk is back with a range of new flavours suited to the tastebuds of us, Singaporeans! Loyal fans of LollyTalk would have known by now that LollyTalk has just launched 6 new acquired flavours last month! If you have not tried them, then you ought to give these really cool flavours a try! If you never try, you'll never know! (:


Chilli Lime.


This was the first flavour which I sampled. Initially, i thought how spicy can a chilli candy get and  i thought it would be pretty much sourish, cause there's lime in it. But this candy totally proved me wrong. It's REALLY spicy!! I can't really take that spicy, thus this was a little too much for me to handle. Those of you who do not eat chilli, would find this flavour a little too taxing to your tastebuds. But it totally suit those of you who really love eating chilli!

Plum Guava.


I liked the taste of this flavour. It has plum bits in it. Really unique! It feels like eating guava coated with plum powder! YUMS!! 

Menthol Grape.


Those of you who love peppermint or mint. This might just be the candy for you! It's a minty fruity candy. A lovely mixture enough to make your mouth feel really fresh yet fruity!

Spicy Mango.


This is another spicy flavour. This flavour starts out sweet, before the spiciness of it starts creeping onto your tastebuds. That's when it SLOWLY starts to get REALLY spicy. For me, it's the spiciness that overrules the mango.

Honey Lemon.


I really liked the taste of Honey Lemon! I can't really explain to you why and how, but i love it!
It is a flavour beyond description. It's sweet, yet with a little subtle taste of lemon.

Menthol Honey Lemon.


It's honey lemon with a twist of mint! Not mild mint, but pretty strong taste of peppermint. It can get pretty "spicy" but it leaves your mouth feeling really cool and refreshed! 

The Acquired Taste Collection.


The Acquired Taste Collection are specially made rock candies, kept and packaged in bottles as they contain all natural ingredients like Chilli Padi extract, Natural Lemon extract, Natural Lime extract, Menthol Crystal, Plum bits, Apple Bits, Cranberries bits etc.

50g Bottle
$4.90


WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Head on down to LollyTalk (Plaza Singapura), 
Have a taste AND grab them before it all runs out!!



While in the mist of sampling LollyTalk's newest acquired taste, it was also time for the rock candy making demo! And they are making my very favorite flavour.. ROOT BEER!!!
The strong fragrance of Root Beer that fills the shop makes me feel really happy.

If you have never seen how rock candies are being made and you happen to be around Plaza Singapura, do stop by LollyTalk and check if they are doing any candy making demonstration then! It'll be quite an experience watching, seeing and learning a thing or two about LollyTalk too!

The staff of LollyTalk are really friendly people. They won't bite.
I promise! (:




Everyone's engross with Keow Yuen narrative candy demonstration!
Even my mom (the one in white)! Hurhur.

LollyTalk: Singapore's Handmade Rock Candy

Fan of Candies?

Love sweets?

Got a sweet tooth?

I'm a Candy lover, are you too?

You must be wondering, why LollyTalk aren't you?
Let's find out more about them together, shall we?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 LOLLYTALK 
The next upcoming BIG hit in Singapore

We are a homegrown candy maker from Singapore that makes our own rock candies fresh from scratch as all our candies are handmade. We make a variety of flavours including Queensland’s renowned banana and watermelon, as well as sarsi and root beer. At LollyTalk, we are committed to making the best tasting quality candies and hence we are constantly on the lookout for new flavours to improve the taste of our candies. In addition, our candies can be customised for special occasions such as weddings and birthdays


Perhaps unknown to many, handmade rock candies originated from Australia and the birth of LollyTalk in 2010 pays tribute to that. That year we headed Down Under to learn the art of candy-making from the Aussies themselves. We secured an apprenticeship with Ross and Judy, who were the undisputed leaders in candy-making in Queensland. The couple won the title Grand Champion Rock Candy as well as multiple awards at the 2009 Royal Melbourne Fine Food Awards, Australia’s premium fine food event that is held annually to give recognition to outstanding producers in the Australian fine food industry, including all its major candy and dessert makers. Being the Grand Champion of rock candy, Ross and Judy were awarded the gold medal for their fruit rock mix, silver medal for lollypops and bronze medal for design candy.

Under our masters’ guidance, we picked up the finer points in making authentic Aussie rock candies that taste and look good. More importantly, we learnt to have fun and enjoy the whole process of candy-making. And it was this unique candy-making skill and experience that we brought back to set up shop in Singapore, which differentiates LollyTalk from other mainstream candy makers in the market.

As part of LollyTalk’s Korean- inspired packaging, we created a fantasy island, Candy Island, where our two mascots Rocky and Candy live and make candies. Designed by a renowned Art Director.



LollyTalk also believes in giving back to the community, and thus has been involved in a number of social work with organisations such as the Yellow Ribbon Project in Singapore (where we worked with girls from Raffles Girls’ Secondary), and orphanages in Thailand and Myanmar. 

While our shop in Plaza Singapura is new, we have in fact been working with different personalities – including designers, artists and musicians – in the creative industry for a while now. LollyTalk has sponsored candies at various events in 2012, including the official opening of the local label WSDM at Millenia Walk, local designer rêvasseur’s launch of the National Day fashion piece, as well as the Singapore International Salsa Festival. LollyTalk has also supplied local Intune Music School with candies for its school projects, while we collaborated with Singapore singer-songwriter, Bevlyn Khoo, in an MTV for her upcoming album to be launched soon. 

WOW.

After finding out a little more about LollyTalk, impressive isn't it?
Being impressive, wouldn't you be curious to give it a try yourself?

Read on and find out what I think about LollyTalk! >.-

LollyTalk was officially opened/launched on the 4th of January 2013, which was also the day I left for my 3D2N cruise with the family. Boohoo. But it's alright! Since I happened to be around Plaza Singapura last evening for dinner, I decided to pop by and take a little peek into the newly opened LollyTalk outlet.

The founder and staffs of LollyTalk are really friendly! So, don't have to be afraid! BIG smile and take your first step into LollyTalk to see what they have to offer! It's like taking a step into little candy island for a short adventure! How cool is that?
