Go Anywhere in Singapore With Anywheel! | Cycling Routes in Singapore + Suggestions for Anywheel Bike Sharing App

ABBEY:

Watch our three cycling routes here:

https://youtu.be/uMzk-iDFJTs

-Upper Serangoon to Seletar Mall

-Upper Serangoon to Changi Beach

-Upper Serangoon to AMK-Bishan Park

WILL: Abbey and I won a 7-day pass worth $3.90 and that is the cue for us to roam around Singapore on wheels. wink-wink 

Here are my suggestions to anywheel. 

    1. Please update the app to enhance the GPS system. As Abbey discussed in the video the bike whereabouts are somewhat unreliable and we spent more than 20mins just to look around for a bike which is can’t be found in the location advised by the app. 

    2. We know that 30-minutes allowance was based on your data but maybe this is high time to check again the 30-minute rule due to high volume of locals challenging themselves for a Singapore’s Round The Island. 

Okay. Those are my suggestions and here is why I totally recommend the Anywheel bike. First, I love the color! Haha! Second, it is pretty lightweight, it won’t require extra effort if you need to lift it. And the best is, the seat feels like a shock-proof. 

So what are you waiting for? Download the Anywheel app top-up and get their affordable rate unlimited ride of $3.90 for one week.

Arteastiq De Patio : A Portmanteau of Art & Tea

ABBEY: We went to try Arteastiq. They have these teas in perfume bottles which kind of unique. The restaurant also has great homey feel. I got their cod fish and chips. I was surprised that the fish taste good. Not your usual fish that gets the flavor from the batter. The perfume-bottle tea live to the hype; not only aesthetically but also in taste.

WILL: I got curious on their perfume e tea. So we booked a table.

Haha! Quite fond of burrata cheese lately so I ordered their Peach Spinach Salad. The spinach leaves are quite fresh and their salad dressing is the real star of this food. Burrata is colder than I expect and the inner portion is not that creamy and on its way to be solid. Sad! 

Then the Lychee Ooling Tea! I do really enjoyed drinking this. Not too sweet and lychee do not overpower the tea taste. It is indeed a perfume. The aroma is inviting you to sip more. Haha! It is so tefreshing for the whole body! Lovvve it!! 

Please don’t forget to book a table if you do not want to join a long queue. Tea is well recommended. Thumb up!

PPP Coffee Funan Mall

ABBEY: We were in a quest to go to Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee but it is out of our way. So we go to the apprentice; PPP Coffee at Funan.

I’m craving for cold brew but all their batches are sold out.

So before ordering we check their beans to used in my own cold brew. Their staff is really helpful explaining to us and advising us what beans we should pick. And our beans is Throwback blend.

We order their version of hot drink and it was smooth and no bitter and funky aftertaste.

The same goes with my homemade cold brew. This is no ordinary cafe. The baristas know their craft.

PPP Coffee Funan Mall - Throwback Coffee

WILL: After our InterContinental Staycation, we headed to Funan Mall for our lunch. We filled our tummy with Little Caesar’s Pizza and went to PPP Coffee to buy beans. 

Before buying the beans, Abbey ordered Throwback Cappuccino for two. It is not your typical lattes you have been buying, it has an extra creaminess and kick of the espresso. You will know that their beans were totally handcrafted and not mass produced. 

Will be one of the cafes that truly stands out. Of course! Totally recommendable!

Marina Barrage's Sustainable Singapore Gallery

ABBEY: We’ve been in Marina Barrage Tour multiple times as we want our family to know how water is being valued here in Singapore. But it was only the two of us during our last visit to the Sustainable Singapore Gallery. Their dam simulation is already outside the gallery. Every visit is always a new learning. And we can see that Singapore keeps on improving and setting the bar higher. The guided tour will explain to you their problem with water and how they combat the hurdle. Sacrifice and discipline play a key role to make solution happen and to sustain it.

Due to pandemic the interactive displays are off limits but our tour guide put a lot of effort to help us understand the programs towards water.

Marina Barrage's Sustainable Singapore Gallery

WILL: Forgot that Marina Barrage renovated their gallery few years back. And upon thinking what are the things we can do or visit in Singapore, Sustainable Gallery popped out of my mind.  The old gallery is not boring BUT the new Sustainable Singapore Gallery emphasised not the problems of global warming but the layout plans for the SOLUTIONS. 

Singapore has difficulty in acquiring a good quality water. Now, Singapore has a tap water suitable for drinking (based on WHO standards). Singapore is lacking of water supplies. Now it has 17 reservoirs! Maybe water source is not enough in the future? There are 2 working desalination (sea water to fresh water) plants and 5 NEWater (recycled water) facilities. 

Rubbish? Heat? Noise pollution? Everything was tackled in the gallery! Please visit them, it is FREE! A good way to learn more about the initiatives of Singapore Government of the country.

GODIVA Chocolatier since 1926 - Hot Chocolate Drink in Singapore

ABBEY: I have this itch in me to try Godiva chocolate. Be it their chocolate, soft serve or drinks. And just the universe conspires, we “stumbled” upon their shop at Ion Orchard. I’m into coffee that time but hey the hot 85% dark chocolate drink called me. 

It is not that bitter or maybe I just got used to the taste as I’m chocolate with that much percentage. Not too sweet and creamy but thick. Next time I’ll try the soft serve or even buy their 100% arabica coffee beans for 46SGD.

THE BEST & ULTIMATE GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR HUSBAND, WIFE, SELF & COMMUNITY | AWESOME GIFT IDEAS 2021

WILL: Abbey loves chocolates..specially dark chocolate. Well, that made us to realize to explore different chocolatiers. One of those is GODIVA! Godiva originated from Belgium and almost 100 years in business. 

Last December, we indulged on their hot drinks offered at ION orchard. So what’s with it? You will definitely savour the luscious creamy chocolatey drink. I went for their Speculoos Hot Chocolate. Of course it is extra sweet and have the dinstict taste of biscoff cookies. It is indeed lovely. 

If you are up to a different kind of cafe, go ahead to Godiva and experience their well-known chocolates.

InterContinental Singapore: 5-Star Luxury Heritage Hotel - FREE Upgrade Deluxe Room King With Bathtub | Breakfast Included

ABBEY:

 

InterContinental Singapore Bugis - FREE Upgrade Deluxe Room King With Bathtub | Breakfast Included

InterContinental Singapore Bugis - FREE Upgrade Deluxe Room King With Bathtub | Breakfast Included

WILL: Our holiday booking was cancelled and moved to Hearts’ day, but Ash Harris of Holiday Inn Express gave us a news.. they still can’t accommodate us but helped us to move our reservation to their sister company, the InterContinental Singapore. Whew! That is an automatic upgrade of a HOTEL! 

InterContinental is adjacent to Bugis Plus Mall and it is quite convenient for people who love to shop. We were greeted gleefully by the concierge. The check-in process only took us around 15 minutes and informed us of room upgrade! From Heritage Room to Deluxe Room! Yeyyyy!!! We were reminded of SGD10k penalty if we breached the “hotel visitor regulation”. 

The Deluxe Room is clean. Well it should be. InterContinental is one of the prestigious hotel chains in the world. Hehe. Bathroom has separate bathtub that have this classic faucet design. They are serving TWG tea and French press coffee. Their bed is explicitly soft and relaxing. The carpet design is so cool, I mean cool in a sense that the color gives somewhat calmness. 

Of course there is mandatory check-in when entering their premises and facilities. Before heading to the gym, pool or even for your free breakfast, please book it. Gym is huge! There's space for all! Haha! Pool is not an infinity pool and many hotel guests prefer the shaded jacuzzi. Breakfast is a set menu but Ash and Elm waitress is so accommodating and advised us that we can mix their fresh fruit juices on our convenience. The beetroot juice is awesome! 

I am surprised when saw the flock of people at the lobby. I thought it might take us half-hour for checking out. But I am wrong. It didn’t even take us 5 minutes because of their express check-out program.

Even the hotel is next to a mall and busy shopping street, you will feel well tucked-up for a relaxation. Again, thank you Ash for the hotel upgrade. Thank you so much InterContinental for warm staffs, free room upgrade and of course how can we forget the free macarons and chocolates!

Buying Silver Bars at BullionStar Singapore

ABBEY: It’s Christmas time and my wife keeps on asking me what I want as gift. Good thing she found one: a silver bar. I asked her why silver and not gold. The explanation brought me to the doors of BullionStar. 

The first thing I felt when I’m inside the store is that it is welcoming. You can check the items for sale like gold and silver bars and coins as well without someone snooping around you. Their staff also help us to narrow down our choices for the items we will buy. I was very happy at the feel of the element on my palm. 

And you know what made me more happy? The price surge after we bought it. Haha. Merry Christmas indeed.

Buying Silver Bars at BullionStar Singapore

Buying Silver Bars at BullionStar Singapore

WILL: Expensive shirts, shoes, bags, or even an authentic leather belt, those are the usual gifts we are giving to our partners right? But those do not last long, don’t  hold a value, and of course not a real investment. I am unemployed last 2020 and that is why I started how to stretch the value of my money. A gift that I will benefit too. Haha! 

I look on investments but Abbey have most of it..EXCEPT..except commodities. So I have done some research and finally decided that I will buy Abbey silver bars.  

*Do you know that Singapore won’t require you to have a vault or safety box before buying any commodities? 

*Do you know that you can buy silver/gold/platinum in Singapore tax free? Well now you know.

We went to BullionStar and it was a really nice experience. We walked in and told the cashier that it was our first time to buy a silver. So the staff patiently answered all our questions. He also helped us to register our account and advised that we got a free one ounce of silver due to the sign-up.

Our experience at BullionStar is superb and now I do not wonder why there’s a number of visitors when we visited the store. Definitely recommendable to checkout BullionStar if you are thinking to buy your silver/gold/platinum.

Tiffany & Co. Singapore ION Orchard Store Experience

ABBEY: I always wanted to give Wilma a ring from Tiffany & Co. Presenting your gift in that iconic tiffany blue box is worth it. But since she already got her second engagement ring, I bought her a pair of ear”ring”.

The ordering process is seamless and online. Their staff Michell really attended me well. She threw suggestions along the way and I made our purchase. She even arranged a personalized note and have the item delivered to our preferred store at Ion Orchard. The online service is superb and all went well.

Then came the collection day. We went to the shop and we told we were for item collection. The staff checked and a few seconds later our order is in front of us.

We prefer to collect at the store rather than delivery as we wanted the Tiffany experience. After it was given to us we feel it’s as if they wanted us to get out of the store as soon as we can. We were never given the courtesy to verify the item. It was even us who asked if we could check it on the couch. The pieces of jewelry is good and as what we’ve seen in the site. It is beautiful. But the shop in Ion Orchard (1st level)? No.

Tiffany & Co. Singapore ION Orchard Store Experience  (The White Box)

Tiffany & Co. Singapore ION Orchard Store Experience  

WILL: Abbey asked me and I received. 

Haha! I told him that I want earrings as a gift and yet he went extra mile giving me a Tiffany & Co jewelry. 

We reached Tiffany & Co ION branch and we were greeted by a man. Abbey ordered it online so it was well packed. The white box was immediately put in their iconic tiffany blue bag. Now my question is, “Is this really the Tiffany and Co?”. You may asked why? I didn’t feel any warm welcome from the store and as I said the white box was just handed to us. How do we know if the jewelry is there or if the item is correct? So I asked permission if I can sit at one of their chairs. While opening the box (it is really hard to open) the same man just handed us a bottled water. Not even asking if we need any help. (Nike customer care is better than him. OMG!) At that time there are only 3 clients including us so I am not sure why he care less on us. We went off and I am not sure if someone bid a goodbye to us. Tiffany and Co absolutely tarnished my expectations on them. 

Anyways, I am surprised how Abbey pulled off his surprise message. Thank you so much baby! Of course I will marry you again and again!

Will I come back? I don’t know? Abbey is the one buying pieces of jewelry  for me. Haha. But he saw my frustrations and he can compare the kindliness and care of local jewelry company than Tiffany & Co.

LUXURIOUS YACHT SINGAPORE CITY SKYLINE CRUISE | FROM SENTOSA COVE TO MARINA BAY - ONLY $50 MOCKTAIL INCLUDED

ABBEY: Being on a yacht cruise is one of the items in my list. At last we managed to book a 1-hr City Skyline Cruise on December 12. This includes a mocktail. We’re ready and excited for our cruise. But a couple of hours before our schedule I got a call that due to bad weather it will be cancelled. We were able to reschedule it at the end of January the next year. Come that day, we’re at One15 Marina Club thirty minutes early.

We onboarded late but the crew assured us that we will be having our whole 60 minutes. And just we were promised we maximized our time; taking snaps with Singapore Skyline and explore the perimeter of Singapore Southern Islands. We enjoyed the whole time and even got a tote bag as souvenir. This is indeed a new way to explore the Red Dot. 

WILL: We are scheduled to have this yacht cruise for our festivity celebration BUT the weather didn’t  permit it. After waiting almost 2 months we were re-scheduled. Anyways! Safety first right? 

 What you will expect at the yacht Singapore skyline tour? Well, it is an hour of travel. You will be seeing the Lazarus Island, Sister and Kusu Island. You will be having a cute lecture about Singapore’s history. You will see for yourself the floating hotel that is on standby for sudden COVID influx. Of course the sight of Marina Bay will not be missed. Be cautious Singapore has huge waves maybe because of the cargo ships moving around the island. 

Yacht Cruise is only $50 (mocktail included) if you book through Sentosa but you can book directly to Le Tara look for kabayan Capt. Fred and you know the drill right? Cough** Discount - Cough**Freebies Haha.

Natureland Spa Premium at Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: At last after almost two years, our bodies got themselves a massage from a premium spa Natureland (Marina Bay Sands). Have a reservation before you head there. The session was 30 minutes behind the schedule but we got a nice couple room. I told the masseuse not to be fooled by Wilma’s built and they can give her a hard massage. 

I enjoyed the neck cracking and “elbowing”. I felt my spine decompressed, my shoulders and calves relaxed. I was continuously asked if I’m OK, which I am. All the muscle stiffness is gone. I turned into a jelly. Haha. 

We were given ginger tea and water after the session. Definitely recommended!

Natureland Spa Premium at Marina Bay Sands

WILL: Natureland Spa branches are sprouting in many places in Singapore and one of their newest premier branch is at Marina Bay Sands. 

We booked 4PM and arrived on time but I am not sure what happened and our schedule was pushed to 440pm. Before 5PM we are already at one of their couple room and we were handed a disposable underwears. The room, the sheets are clean and pleasantly smells. We chose exotic oil aroma for our massage.

Abbey advised my masseur that I need a hard massage and it is the start of my new life! Haha! The masseur frantically kneaded my back, my shoulder and side of my ribcage. It is a total relief. This is one if the few spa that I will give a 5-Stars. Haha!

Definitely will comeback by April.

Café De Muse at Shaw House | 24 Hours Cafe in Orchard

ABBEY: After a hearty Japanese lunch, we went to Cafe de Muse to have our caffeine fix. I had Vanilla Latte. It taste like my childhood drink Sustagen. 

A bit disappointed though as I’m expecting more coffee flavor at the bottom. I thought the vanilla taste will fade as a drink it but turns out it drowned the espresso shot. I also tried their not-too-sweet ondeh ondeh cake. Other cakes like basque burnt cheesecake and black forrest are available.

WILL: After our movie with Wonder Woman, we went to Muse Cafe to wash down our Japanaese cuisine lunch. Muse Cafe is 24-hour cafe located at the heart of Orchard. You can see them if you pass by at the Shaw building. 

Their spot is perfect for people watching  Due to non-stop cravings of sweet and coconut bits, of course, Abbey and I ordered for their Ondeh-ondeh cake. It is YUM! The sweetness, creamy texture and the good amount of coconut bits were present. Ondeh-ondeh cake was partnered with pot of Muse Special tea. Perfect! Did I mention that their price point is lower and their serving size is bigger than your well-known cafe? This is a good place to visit whenever you are in Orchard.

Wonder Woman 1984 - Singapore iMax

ABBEY: I was excited waking up on Christmas Day. This is the day with Gal Gadot via WW1984. To be honest I’m not an avid fan of Wonder Woman and doesn’t know the story in depth. For me it is just like another kid’s superhero movie: small guy became big guy then goes bad but hero saves the day and ending. 

But the scene where Gal used the Lasso of Truth to communicate to people is really touching. As they say the truth shall prevail. Gal (Wonder Woman) is beautiful whenever she laughs, smile, sarcastic or even cries. Spoiler Alert: Wait for the OG Wonder Woman at the end.

Wonder Woman 1984 - Singapore iMax

WILL: Abbey’s all time crush. This will be our first and last movie screening for year 2020. Ohh. COVID! Haha. So Wonder Woman is not from planet Earth, ahhmmm am I correct? Haha! She is powerful woman that can swing by the clouds and lightning. 

Ohh, sorry but it is so childish. As usual, Wonder Woman 1984 is catered for DC fans. I am Marvel. So what can you expect? I can’t fathom the storyline. Well, whatever. It is feel good movie but not my cup of tea.

Pablo Blau - 60-minutes Signature Salt Room Customised Facial

ABBEY: Another pampering session. Now it is for my face. Pablo Blau is a unique experience. They have this what they called Salt Room (salt everywhere from floor to the walls). They say this will help you detoxify upon inhaling the air in the room. Even the floor on facial room is covered with salt. 

I can say my face got a really nice massage during the session and all the blackheads got rid off. After the cleaning process comes the moisturizing part. I think I got three layers of different cream applications and my face really glowed. Yey! I got more gwapo after that.

WILL: It’s been a year! A year of not having a good and satisfying facial! OMG! Glad I have bumped into Pablo Blau’s 60minute Customised Facial worth only $69.

There’s some conflict on booking but it was immediately resolved. Instead of 2PM we were rebooked by 11am same day. No fuss! Just went there to receive our face pampering.

Once you stepped in at Pablo Blau you will immediately feel the superbly relaxing ambiance of the place given by the cobalt blue color. Match up that blau (blue) with gold, it will give you a luxury atmosphere. Siggghh of relief.

Pablo Blau is unique. This is the only spa that you need to take of your shoes and change it to disposables. Why? Their treatment room is filled with salt. Yes! Salt! You will step in salt and their walls are covered with, of course, salt. Unique right? We all know that salt is used in many different ways since ancient times and Pablo Blau is harnessing that power for their services.

So how’s the facial experience? The therapist without hesitation lavishly put creams after creams and massage my face thoroughly. She pricked some of my white/blackhead using ultrasonic shovel and acne extractor. After the session, I really do feel the plump of my facial skin and my somewhat burnt forehead's dead skin got peeled off. They are correct! In just one session you will see and feel the difference.

The therapist is quite talkative. It is okay that she explains the products but she is talking about her life during the session. Whew! And she is pretty pushy. The facial treatment and the unique experience at the salt room is two thumbs up. I immediately recommended this to my friends to try.

FOC Sentosa - Best Pork Paella in Singapore

ABBEY: One of our activities for our December celebration is to walk the beach line of Sentosa. It was still a few kilometers and we got hungry. The farthest beach we went to is Tanjong Beach and FOC Sentosa is just around the corner. They were able to accommodate us even though no reservation was made. 

We decided to try their Pork Iberico Paella. It was sharing for 40SGD. After 20 minutes our food was served. The pork is tender and melts in your mouth. The fat mixed with rice is a delight. Talk about the rice grain? It is grain in steroids. Each is plump and big. Next thing we know is I’m scooping the crunchy burnt ends on the skillet.

FOC Sentosa 
Best Pork Paella in Singapore 

FOC Sentosa 

WILL: I am guilty! Yes! I am the one who encourages to try new things, new food, new experiences. And that is the reason we want to explore different cuisine like Mediterranean dish! That is why we went to FOC Sentosa after our beach line walk to complete our STRAVA’s challenge.

FOC Sentosa is not your ordinary restaurant. It is located at Palawan Beach and of course you can soak under the sun their daybeds or have a dip in their pools but make sure you have a prior booking as they are almost fully booked everyday.

We went there to dine and we ordered Iberico Pork Paella. Gosh! Expats are right, FOC serves one of the best paella in Singapore. The rice is still firm and rice is the real star of this viand. Unlike other paellas that's smothered by meat, this paella is simple and yet tasty. You will love the toasted rice sticking on the pan. Yummm!! The pork is tender as expected. Can still remember the aroma of the FOC’s Paella. We washed down the Pork Iberico Paella with their coffee.

Please visit and do not forget to book a reservation at FOC Sentosa.

ONALU Bagel Haús

ABBEY: Wilma tagged me in a post about a new bagel house near Dhoby Ghaut. So before we head to our main destination we went to Onalu Bagel Haus for breakfast. We were welcomed by a warm “Good Morning” from the staff and “bakery-smell” from the bagels. 

We got sesame bagel with cream cheese and Something Fishy (bagel, cream cheese, smoked salmon). When they serve you bagel they mean it. It was huge and can be shared (on my opinion). The bread is fresh as well as the fillings. The white walls and furnitures gave the ambiance a homey feel and vibrant. It’s as if telling you to relax and enjoy the bagel which we did. 

People come on go to have their to-go coffee of sandwich.

ONALU Bagel Haús
Somethin Fishy and Say Cheese

WILL: Bagels are one of the topnotch bread here in Singapore due to it’s pricing. Of course there’s a cheap alternative but do not expect quality. Abbey and I always went for Tanjong Pagar to get our bagel-sandwich but now Abbey found a new gem in the heart of SMU.

It is the ONALU Bagel Haus. The first thing you will notice is that the well lit white space and their dining area that resembles just like in our houses. Well, it gives a homey feel.

We had the Somethin Fishy with Plain Bagel. I savour the bagel’s texture and my verdict is bagel at Onalu is absolutely on the standard. Not hard and not too soft; the quality of freshly baked bagels. The smoked salmon and cream makes the bagel, ahm..well my whole brunch extra special. 

Say Cheese for only $4 will fill up your tummy and may last until tea time. It is a fulfilling breakfast for me! 

Going back here? Yes please!

Angelina Restaurant and Cafe in Singapore l Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: Since the start of Christmas season, I suddenly have a craving for a hot chocolate. I picture it hot, creamy, slightly thick and rich in flavour. 

It was satisfied by the signature chocolate of Angelina, L’Africain. But boy, it was priced at 13SGD. It was served on a tiny porcelain jug and whipped cream on the side. The taste of chocolate alone brings back memories and really fits the festive air. Adding the whipped cream makes it more thick and decadent. It is smooth till the last drop. I partnered it with egg croissant with smoked salmon. 

But I’m telling you, the hot chocolate itself is enough. Try it and see for yourself.

WILL: Do you remember my post about the 18km morning walk for a breakfast? No? Please click this link below. Haha! Abbey is craving for a hot chocolate and he is feeling festive so we decided to get one of the best review hot chocolate in Singapore.. the Angelina at Marina Bay Sands. We walked for almost 4 hours. Great right? 

Angelina is a French Cafe and they pride themselves on their hot chocolate. What can I say? Please continue on what you are doing with your creamy, smooth, not so sweet yet not bitter hot chocolate drink. They have a good partnering of black coffee and whip cream. I am awaken on this kind combination.

Their Éclair caramel beurre salé reminds me of eclair candy in the Philippines. Nostalgic and perfect to my black creamy coffee.

Totally a good way to indulge!

ABBEY: It was my birthday and Wilma came up with an unusual place for dinner: Coyote Ugly. We were there 5PM and yes it was way too early. Haha. 

We got a plate of nachos and a jug of mojito. And for me Hawaiian Time Burger (comes with drink). The nacho is full of toppings and crunchy. My burger is a grilled chicken burger with cheddar and mayo which flows out of every bite and eating is almost messy. And I drown it all with two servings of the cocktail. 

We left after 2 hours when the music grew loud as the bar comes to life. Signs of aging huh?

WILL: It’s Abbey’s birthday and we celebrated his birthday with one of his favourite comfort food. Burgers and fries at one of his unfamiliar place, a bar. Haha!

I saw very enticing $10 promotion of burgers & fries and $35 jug of Mojito. Oh please take note, their patty is wagyu beef! Yeahba!

How’s the taste? Of course not your fastfoods' burger. The patty is thick and vegetable inside is fresh! The bun is soft and dressing binds everything well! The fries is not a fresh cut potato but every piece has its crisp. The pitcher of Mojito will serve up to 8 glasses and damn!...it has a kick! Good to say it is not watered down.

The place is quite peaceful from 5-7 but when the clock passed 7 the music came to life and we can’t hardly hear each other. Well, the night just got started!

Will definitely come back and want to witness the coyotes to dance at the bar! This is a must visit, it is value for money!

Nasty Cookie - Singapore's first NY Gourmet Cookie Store

ABBEY: We had this craving for cookies and we want to get it from new shops. And then we found Nasty Cookies at Funan Mall. The teal-light-bluish shop is selling jumbo cookies. And they come in different flavours. 

We got a box of six and each cookie is individually boxed. How cool is that? Perfect for gifts. You won’t be shy to give it away as they also taste good. We had Choc Chip, Dark Choc Chip, Biscoff Cookie, White Choc Macademia, Oh! Smores, and Cookies N Cream Cheesecake. 

All of them are decadent and will definitely satisfy your sugar needs. As their message on the wall; it is worth every calorie. Haha. Just to give you an idea, a cookie costs almost an average price of a typical hawker dish.

WILL: I am quite frustrated with my latest trip with "chunky" cookie (you know what I am saying? haha) and Facebook’s algorithm worked again and enticed me and Abbey to try the new Nasty Cookie. One of the branches of Nasty Cookie is at Funan Mall. It is quite hidden so take time and patience to find it. But you will never get wrong of the store due to glaring Tiffany Blue color. 

That time they only offer a few selection and I am astounded of the price. It is steep! Haha! The cookie’s diameter is not that big but it is thick. Abbey and I chose Dark Chocolate Chip, Biscoff Cookie, Oh! Smores, Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia, Cookies and Creme Cheesecake.

We do not have a microwave but heat it up using an oven. The chocolate, marshmallow or whatever flavor inside the cookie oozes out with delight. The flavour is intensified by the heat. The dough texture is perfect. Not hard, not crumbly, quite chewy but not so sweet! Blends perfectly on toppings.

Now, Nasty Cookie is my favourite store cookie! Do not skip their Biscoff Cookie & Oh! Smores!
