Wandering Fel

 What’s the best thing about summer? Everyday is an ice cream day. Especially when you are young and does not have to be so concerned about glucose in your blood. But really, I think ice cream is my most favourite dessert unless you count bubble tea as dessert but I will count it as beverages instead. Did you remember last time there was taiyaki ice cream in Singapore? (Taiyaki is the fish-shaped pancake originated from Japan, if you dunno). I recalled there’s one at the basement level of Vivo City but it was gone before I tried it. Boyfriend said the taiyaki ice cream was not as nice and it’s not as good-looking as it looks on the display. 

But it seems that nowadays taiyaki ice cream is making a comeback. Although unfortunately, they are not in Singapore, so you probably have to try it while you are flying to Taipei. Hahaha. Fish Bay at Zhongshan sells a higher level of taiyaki ice cream. For a start the taiyaki which is used as the cone is black in color (hmm, charcoal? Sesame? Ok, most likely charcoal). Second, it seems that you can do a lot of mix and match here like the taste of the ice cream and the toppings to go with it. @liyu_foodmap shows that you can still opt for normal cone (but in badass version of black) if you don’t want the taiyaki. Toppings shown on Instagram vary between popcorn, cereal and a piece of waffle. The color of the ice cream offered by Fish Bay are all so pretty, they have purple, green, pink and what’s that...bluish greyish whitish? Gosh, I can’t tell but it looks good. 

Price-wise, @_lien.eatingdiary mentions on her caption that her ice cream costs NTD110 but she got it during one-for-one two weeks ago. Oh wow, that must have been a great deal. I wish Fish Bay had the deal going on longer but anyway, since the ice cream + taiyaki cone looks so instagrammable, I would still probably buy 1 at its normal price. Oh gosh, I’m so vain. But it really looks nice on picture, don’t you think?

From the map provided, it seems that you have to walk a bit from Zhongshan MRT though. Make you way to Chifeng Street Lane (which is the street behind the main street where Etude House is located) and you just need to walk straight.

It seems to me that the neighbourhood of Upper Thomson is populated by a lot of cafe selling waffles and ice cream. Well this is good news for me who love the combination of warm thick waffle and ice cream plus sauce. In the midst of many choices, I decided to go go to Les Patisseries because it’s basically just right beside the cafe that I just visited, Columbus Coffee Co. I was really lazy to walk that day. Hahaha. 

"Do you ever feel like breaking down?

Do you ever feel like out of place?"

I am seriously about to break down from frustration with someone who just cannot let go of her own stress and yet, putting the blame on me. Seriously if your stress arising from your own mind, could you please do not blame other people as the cause of what you do to yourself? I honestly find this S-T-U-P-I-D and a waste of my time. But apparently stupid people are everywhere and you have to manage a living by surviving around them. Oh yeay, life is so fun. Yaaasssssss~

When time is bad, it's time to have some ice cream. Although sadly, there is no Miyahara to be found in Singapore. Boo.

Scream for ice cream people! Okay, the queue was pretty civilised and in order so no screaming is required upon ordering. Hahaha. If you ask me how long did I queue for Miyahara ice cream, I suppose it's around 30 minutes? Queue seems to move faster when you are (1) not alone and (2) have wifi. 

An order of three scoops of ice cream comes with 7 choices of toppings (OMG, for real?? Yeah, it's real). It has become a humongous cup of ice cream + biscuits + cakes + tarts. We could not even see the chocolate ice cream anymore because it is the first ice cream flavour that the staff scooped for us. So the chocolate ice cream is located underneath all of this sweet mess. Hahaha.

I need to keep calm and eat ice cream on certain days, really. Especially when it is a day full of chasing and got chased by irritating people instead of handsome men. Sad. While my bae and I were wandering around Clarke Quay thinking of a way out from this circle of life without killing ourselves (or other people since we don't want to spend the remaining of our life in jail, obviously), we were passing by Azabu Sabo, ice cream chains which are specializing in Hokkaido ice-cream. Bae got tempted in a jiffy and before we knew it, we came closer to the ice cream stall.

The pricing of the ice cream depends on whether you want to have the ice cream by cone or cup. Plus by how many type of ice cream you want to have in the cone/ cup. If you prefer to have only one taste, I think you should give matcha (green tea) a try because I think Japanese matcha ice cream has the best flavour.
