'Joey's Blog'

Taking a few couple minute of my time to finish off my last week dread post. It was drafted in my blog for long and there were so many activities going on over the weekend that I could hardly sit down infront of my computer to complete this post.

Last Wednesday, a sudden craved for waffles happened to me, I decided to call Jue Yu and Nicholas ( who is having his long vacation) out for dinner. It was a new adventure to venture around Yishun area for food. (probably a more adventurous side for Nicholas who is staying in the East)

Yishun is like my second home ever since I dated my Bf, I always venture around with him during the weekend especially North Point shopping area for lunch/ dinner. At this point of time, I do research on what is nice to dine in around Yishun. And guess what the site shown? Yishun LAKSA!!

 So one of Yishun's food legacies has to be this laksa stall located on the ground floor of a block of flats next to the bus interchange.

Laksa, laksa in a bowl, which is the best of them all? Seriously, I don't care. As long as the taste resonate with my tastebud, it's a good bowl of laksa. Its generous portion of ingredients that consist of fish cakes, crab sticks, dried toufu, beansprouts and hard boiled eggs. Of course there are hum (cockles) too but I requested mine with no hum! 

This bowl of laksa goes for $2.50 or $3.00, and there is a choice of whether you want yellow noodle, thick or thin vermicelli. Personally I like thick vermicelli, but everyone has their own preferences.

The down side was that the place is not air conditioned and has limited seats which I didn’t mind at all. The feeling of sweating after eating can be part of enjoyment too.

What's best without any desserts right? Finally and finally I have seen more cafes opening up at Yishun area. Apart from the daily scoop that I found out this year, another ice-cream parlour was opened at the heart of the neighborhood. Thankful that Jue Yu's grandmum stayed nearby so she was our tour guide for the night.

Simple took Bus 804 from yishun interchange and alight after 3 or 4 stops ( can't remember) and cut through from Yishun town to reach the destination.

A glance from their menu enable you to easily pick up your orders from either ice-cream, waffle or beverages such as coffee, tea or milkshakes and etc.

It was a small little cafe, the interior design looked similar like creamier ( just that there are more tables and chairs).

There are varieties of ice cream flavours. But their top-notch flavours would be their Mao shan wang and thai milk tea flavour. They even have saigon ( Vietnamese coffee) flavour but it was not sold on that they day we came.

 For me who prefers Belgium Waffle, will order this to pamper myself. The waffle with crisp outer layer and yet soft and moist texture within, this waffle was rather different than what I usually had. Instead their waffle was rather fluffy and soft which similar to those pancake (hotcake) style so if that is not your preference then their waffle might be a strike off for you. 

To top it off, we went for double scoop of ice cream ($10) with flavours of our choice : Thai Milk tea + Kookie cookie monster

Nicholas decided to order one more item from the list and he had brownies that went with strawberry cheesecake ice cream. 

Holy Cow Creamery has indeed wow-ed me with what it has to offer, and I am certainly impressed with the quality of ice-cream they are serving. This is really a worthy addition to the north, and I would be back really soon to try out what I had been missing out from my first visit! Overall its so near to my Bf's place and also a walkable distance if you want to clear all your calories away after each waffles and ice cream.
