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.

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?

Have you heard of P.Osh?

Do you crave for sweet desserts? Are you a lover of sweets? Or do you have sweet tooth, just like I do?  Are you a brownie or cheesecake lover? Well, if it's YES for all then you must not miss out on this!

 Have you heard of P.Osh? 
Well, if you haven't. Here's a little inside to what P.Osh is and offers.

P.Osh Mini Story 

Brownie movement. Cookie revolution.

This IS the revolution of the cookie and brownie industry.

We started out as two thumb twiddling teenagers with nothing much to do. But there was one thing we loved. Eating. Especially brownies and cookies. So we spent much time and money surfing Singapore, tasting brownies from different restaurants and outlets.

Fact, most of the brownies tasted mysteriously and oddly similar. But, of course! They studied at same classes and probably used the same textbook recipes too. It became boring, other than the occasional refreshing anomaly of a brownie with a burnt base, or micro waved till a dry brown fried mass was left, or smelling like a flower from vanilla over-dosage. Necessity is the mother of invention, and we cannot emphasise enough how necessary it was to taste something better.

Scouring and testing all sorts of documented brownie and cookie recipes, we found that none of them really worked. The only way left was to explore the best recipes we could find. Through all the experimentation, we got acquainted with how cookies and brownies behaved according to their compositions. It was just a matter of time.

We now have a modest range of cookies and brownies, each of them tweaked to a unique consistent perfection. It’s not just a food, it’s an experience. We had the hope of enjoying exquisite brownies and cookies. Now, we share this fantasy with you. It’s not just an experience, it’s a dream.

P.Osh Brownies

 Premium Brownie (With Walnuts)

Chewy Brownie with Toppings

*sorry! no cheesecake photos available*
but you may check their range of flavors offered on their website! (:

What makes P.Osh different from the usual dessert cafes and shops? Aren't you curious to know why?
Besides offering such delicious brownies and cheesecakes (by the way, they have cookies too! chocolate chip, double chocolate and walnut). The BEST part of P.Osh is they offer customers a choice to be different. P.Osh provides customized brownies. What's that? You must be wondering right? And what's so special about a customized brownie? Well, i'll try and pop those questions out with answers.

P.Osh Customized Brownies

As you can tell from the photos, they look different from the normal brownies from above right? These are customized brownies where P.Osh Brownie Stylist would have them designed for you either based on your preference or you may leave it to P.Osh awesome and creative brownie stylist to have them done. You can definitely put your mind at ease and leave it to the professionals! (: 

Anyway, Christmas is round the corner? A nutty time to brainstorm to get gifts/presents and whatnots for your awesome friends and love ones. How about a little something different this year?
