Of Ice cream, duck and looftop football

Horlicks and Apple Pie Ice cream in a cup

And in my mouth!

Now, I've never been a Horlicks fan, but the horlicks ice cream from island creamery is something else altogether. It is incredibly rich without being overpoweringly malty, like the drink is prone to be.

I can't wait to try their other wacky flavours. I've always been conservative with my ice cream choices. Dark chocolate, choc-choc chip, Belgian chocolate, Midnight cookies and cream, you get the idea.

Big thanks to Deejay xf for her recommendation.

What more could you ask for?

The grand old dame of ice creamery, at her irresistable best.

Old-school taiwanese porridge place

Oasis taiwan porridge is a rocking old-school joint that opens till late. The best dishes there are the kong ba and chye poh neng. Equally sinful and delightful. I like many many.

Johnson Duck 1/2 Duck for $10

Simple. Plain. Unadorned. I like.

Unlike their flashy neighbours BTK, Johnson Duck continues to dish out the same fare in the same way they've done for the last decade (or however long they've been around).

No service charge, reasonable prices and good food. Irresistable. I think I shall be coming here much more often.

Musking tape football on the loof

Exams are playtime for c.s. folk it seems. Then again, maybe there's just something about the loof that makes us just wanna be kids again. Felt like primary school again. Too poor to afford the real thing, musking tape balls and balled-up drink packets were all we knew. But yeah, it was probably more fun anyway.
