South Korea's famed organic soft served ice-cream has hit Singapore at last, joining in on our latest dessert craze with more that 12 different toppings to compliment their handmade creamery! A different but equally delicious experience each visit? Nice strategy there, Milkcow.

With it's first store conveniently settled at The Cathay, it's certain that Singaporeans will jump at the opportunity to give Milkcow's 100% natural and organic treat a try. You know what that means? Ridiculously long snaking queues! Ugh.



I don't like queueing, so you can imagine how happy (and lucky) I was to have been invited to their grand opening on the 6th of February 2015 along with my Food Thieves friends! (This post is so overdue! Yikes.)


All of us were practically spoilt for choices. All the toppings looked so appetising that I wanted to lump them all in one cup of ice cream! Rest assured, I maintained my composure.


I went with the traditional honey and honeycomb toppings for my first cup. I loved how the sweetness of the honey didn't overpower the milk. I got bored of the taste nearer to the bottom but nonetheless it was one of the better honey-drizzled ice creams I've had.




I don't usually like having nuts (they cause pimple breakouts?) but I was so glad that I tried the pistachio sauce! Topped together with the macaron, I liked this particular combination the best. The nutty flavour went really well with the milk and the macaron added the additional sweetness that makes deserts deserts. Yes, it was my third cup.

Many big heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to come down for my 23rd birthday gathering last week, especially since it was sandwiched between a heavy work/school week and Valentine's Day!

Romance is overrated. Relationships are overrated. Chocolates and wines are overrated. Roses and plushies are overrated. Making out is overrated. (Okay, maybe not the last.) There are so many awesome things to do when you're single and ready to mingle on Valentine's Day!

…Things you would do any other day, basically. Let's face the truth. No matter how hard people try to insist that Valentine's Day can be celebrated and enjoyed just as much by singles with their friends and family (or themselves), it sucks not to be coupled on this particular day. I'm not saying that there are no perks to that but they are completely overshadowed. It doesn't matter what you do, everything on Valentine's Day will scream "You sad lonely soul!"

I wanted to write about how you can have the best Valentine's Day as a gleeful and contented bachelor/bachelorette (maybe your attached but apart?) but that will just be utter bullshit. I'm going to help you with something more useful. (It'll work for people in dissatisfactory relationships too.)

How To Survive Valentine's Day:

1. Lock away all your mobile phones and computers. Those incessant status and photo updates from obnoxious coupled friends and family are not good for you. You won't be happy for them (don't fake it) and you'll just be reminded of how nobody wants you.

2. Chances are, you won't heed Tip 1. You are all masochists. So be it. Log on to Tinder and swipe through Tinder and laugh at the many profiles of single (or attached or open or just confused?) in your vicinity who are just as sad. No harm boosting your ego with matches too.

3. Leave stink bombs along park pavements and watch in amusement as unsuspecting couples come through for a romantic walk.

4. Send a black rose to everyone who has ever broken your heart. This option is only for people with extra cash. Don't make yourself even sadder by being broke.

4.2 Alternatively, you can leave shade-throwing RuPaul's Drag Race GIFs on their Facebook profile.

5. Order pizza. Pizza will always love you.

6. When the delivery person arrives, ask if he/she will be working late. If so, order more pizza so you two can spend more quality time together.

6.2 If not, offer the pizza to anyone (especially complete strangers) who will eat it off your body.

7. Make out with anyone! A Tinder match? Pizza person? Complete stranger? Take advantage of each other's vulnerability.

8. Post a selfie on Instagram and caption "It's just like any other day, guys. Single and lovin' it!" Everyone will admire you and like your post. Maybe someone will be able to see through your facade and direct message you for a date.

9. Bake macarons. Proceed to throw them away. The macarons are a metaphor for your melancholy.

10. Bring your parents out for a meal. (Although I think that they wouldn't want you disturbing their moment…)

11. Rally your friends out to party! Just please don't end up by the side of the road sobbing and whining about how you are going to die alone with a dozen cats.

12. Go catch the 50 Shades of Grey movie by yourself. Scan the cinema for fellow singles and offer your popcorn. Things will get heated during the movie. Offer your body.

13. Take a vacation. Get out of here! It can't be Valentine's Day everywhere, right?!

You can survive 24 hours. Know that you'll be loved and touched. Eventually.
