Co+Nut+Ink Coconut Ice Cream in Sentosa

-
Summer is finally here and it's really really really HOT!

The weather app says it's about 34 degrees celsius outside but honestly, it feels like it's up to 40! A simple walk around the corner would easily let sweat beads form on your forehead. What more climbing up 3 storeys and walking for 2 blocks under the scorching sun. I swear, I looked like I ran a marathon with the way my cheeks  would turn so red and I'd be perspiring like crazy. All I want is to dip myself into a cold pool...oh, and to have some refreshing coconut ice cream too!

Let me tell you about the time we visited Co+Nut+Ink in Sentosa. Located at the Beach Station, we took the tram that took us all the way to Siloso Beach. Along the way, we spotted a simple white stall with a long queue in front of it. This immediately caught our attention and piqued my curiosity on what the stall is all about. Moving closer, we found out that they're selling Coconut Ice Cream! Oh em gee! 


We had our first taste of yummy coconut ice cream during our quick weekend trip to Kuala Lumpur late last year. It was oh-so-good that we couldn't stop talking about it. It was then when cousin J told us that there's something similar in Singapore. As it turns out, he was talking about Co+Nut+Ink! They specialises in Coconut Ice Cream. That's it. Well, it makes sense after all, why bother selling the entire line-up when you can focus on what you can do best, right? Therefore, you can choose among 3 varieties: the Classic (with roasted peanuts), Premium Nuts & Fruits (with pistachios, cranberry, almonds, raisins and cashews) or the Premium Dessert (with red ruby).

I was torn between the Classic (S$5.50) or the Premium Dessert (S$6.80) as I love peanuts as much as I love coconut with red rubies. Eventually, I went with the former as I figured out that you can never go wrong with the classic. 

Each order gives you a big scoop of coconut ice cream on a nice Thai coconut shell and a glass of coconut juice. Ohhh I love coconut juice so I happily gulp this down within seconds. The coconut has a nice texture which is right in between icy and creamy. Sweetness level was just right and it goes so well with the ground roasted peanuts. I'm a fan of any sweet-salty combination so this one was something that I liked very much. We happily enjoyed our ice cream while walking down the Sentosa shore. It was nice to spend some quality time as we talked, walked and ate. 

I found out that Co+Nut+Ink actually has another branch closer to the city. However, we both agreed that being able to enjoy this delicious coconut ice cream at the beach is one experience that we would like to have again and again. So, will we be will be traveling to the farthest point of Sentosa for more coconut ice cream? That would definitely be a YES! 

Check out Co+Nut+Ink at Mambo Beach Club, 40 Siloso Beach Walk, Singapore. They also have a kiosk at the Esplanade.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
