[Food Review]: Seriously Ice-cream Cafe

New kid in the hipster hood of Everton, located just a few shops away from Nylon Coffee Roasters is the 'Seriously Ice-cream cafe'.  

These ice-cream are made with the aim to be healthier- without preservatives and less sugar. 
Flavors changed periodically. New flavors creation on a weekly basis- the mystery flavor, guess it right and you will be given a free scoop of ice-cream! :)
During my visit, interesting flavors on display were Onde-Onde, Rose Pu'er, Miso Gula Melaka, Choco Curry, White pepper, Red velvet, Caramel Popcorn, French Vanilla, Bailey Cream Cheese and Strawberry Basil. 
The ice-cream here are of a slush-like consistency, the flavor takes an unconventional combination of two unrelated ingredients. It is more of an acquired taste. I would suggest, try them before making your purchase. Some may appeal to you, some may not. 



 Beside being an ice-cream parlor, there is also a retail section that sells various accessories like bags, glasses, bracelet, bowties etc. 





Had a scoop of Miso Gula Melaka and Rose Pu'er. The ice-cream was less creamier and pretty refreshing. Waffles was light, airy, crispy and taste exactly like waffles cone. 

WEDNESDAY SPECIAL!!!
I had their waffles on Wednesday special where it's at 1/2 price with purchase of 2 scoops of ice-cream.
Seriously delicious, very friendly owner, affordable pricing and great place to chill. 
Do come down and check it out! Get your scoops on their crispy and airy waffles if you desire :)

[Food Review]: The much awaited vist to Sunday Folks

The best waffles in town, have you tried? 
Said to be the sister establishment of popular dessert parlor, Cremier. Barely one month old and the new ice cream parlor- 'Sunday Folks' has been causing a stir in Chip Bee Gardens, numerous people have constantly Instagrammed their famed waffles & soft serve ice-cream.

We were there on a Sunday afternoon and especially since it's a new outlet, the place was fully packed.  Without a proper queue system, it will most probably take you about an hour of not-so-surreptitiously standing by the table to get a seat so i suggest you to come earlier if you do not want to meet the crowd. 

'Sunday Folks' has a clean yet modern design. There isn't any clutter but a lot more spacious, such as high-counter in the middle of the parlor with menus placed on top. The interior is cozy and warm. Decor is very minimal, with a few flower vases on tables, some potted plants on shelves, wood & copper finishings and the usual spotlight lighting.

The dessert counter{Some selection of cakes that changed daily}

 
The menu
{With the pre-fixed of 6 signature soft serve ice-cream to choose from: Dark Chocolate, Summer Strawberries, Roasted Pistachio, Earl Grey Lavender, Madagascar Vanilla and Seasalt Gula Melaka. Besides serving them with waffles, they also serve them in cone/cup with pre-selected toppings to choose from. For both ice-cream and waffles, the price are affordable although i do find that their cone/cup pricing to be slightly steep. 
Oh yes! Not to forget.......everyone's favorite- NO GST AND SERVICE CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A wide range of toppings for customization!
{Standard toppings/sauce-$1.50 and Premium toppings- $1.90}

Belgian Waffles topped with a scoop of summer strawberry soft serve{$11.80}
Please do not ask me which flavor is the best because i think it boils down to personal preference... 
First impression? Very pretty and thankfully, instagram-worthy from almost every angle :P 
So there it is.....their famed waffles- MUST ORDER! Waffles was perfect- with a good crisp along the edges and fluffy interior that wasn't too soggy, definitely one of the best i have eaten. Along with that, the ice-cream was a dream- creamy and smooth. It does not melt easily too. As for the toppings, they are more than a mouthful. Each waffles comes with toppings like blueberries and strawberries but if you would like to have other more toppings, you can add them. Home-made sauces like caramel and chocolate hazelnut can be added too, proving there are truly endless way to have your ice-cream.


SeaSalt Cula Melaka{$7.20}
Came with a Sesame cracker atop, which was crispy, fragrant and packs a crunchy texture to the smooth soft serve, along with japanese mochi. The saltness was neutral. Soft-serve was stellar, smooth and flavorful.

If you have yet to visit 'Sunday Folks', please do! Trust me, you will not be disappointed. 
If waffles aren't your thing, there are other offerings too.
Cakes on the other hand, like Japanese matcha cake, matcha roll, were highly recommended too! 
Good food, good vibe...I'm definitely coming back again to try their cones and other flavors! 

'Sunday Folks' is located at 44 Jalan Merah Saga, #01-52, Chip Bee Gardens, Singapore
(nearest MRT: Holland Village, Circle Line). Opening hours: 12noon-10pm. Closed on Monday.

Keep a look out of the signboard as you might give it a miss if you weren't aware of your surroundings. 

Thanks for reading~ :)
