Cold Stone Creamery is closing in Singapore after 10 years of operation. Cold Stone Creamery proudly dubs themselves as ‘Ice Cream Innovators’. Their ice cream is freshly made on the spot—smooth, rich and creamy.

At the same time, the popular ice cream parlour is also known for providing great entertainment value when it comes to their signature ‘ice cream toss’ dance and they throw pretty great private parties too—think party food, adorable character-themed ice cream cakes and colourful party decorations.

All outlets in Singapore will operate until 31 January 2020. We are fans of Cold Stone Creamery’s ice cream and it is sad to hear that they are closing in Singapore.

To thank its supporters, Cold Stone Creamery is offering a special price on five of their most popular ice cream flavours. From 3 January to 31 January 2020, ice cream lovers can enjoy these best-sellers in 4oz Like It™ size at S$5 each (U.P.: S$6.50) for dine-in and takeaway at all outlets.

The five flavours are Banana Caramel Crunch®, Strawberry Banana Rendezvous, Birthday Cake Remix™, Chocolate Devotion® and the Oreo Overload.  Complete The Ultimate Ice Cream Experience^® with a plain or chocolate-dipped waffle bowl at $1.20 or $1.90 respectively.

In addition, ice cream lovers can take home a limited-edition cooler bag with every purchase (min. 2 cups of ice cream) in any size, while stocks last.

Now available at 1-for-1 Love It size, exclusively for Mastercard® Cardholders, till 13 May 2018.

The former boasts a light cheese flavour that is not too overwhelming and is topped off with our all-time favourite nacho chips while the latter is creamy and smooth chendol ice cream mixed with pandan green jelly strips and crunchy red beans.

Bare Your Sole 2014 is a barefoot walkathon that will be taking place at Gardens by the Bay East (Rhu Cross) on 12th July (9am – 12pm). Gather your friends to partake in this meaningful event and help raise funds for Habitat for Humanity Singapore’s Project HomeWorks (to help clean up the homes of the elderly poor living in 1 bedroom rented HDB apartments).

Not only is joining Bare Your Sole a good way to work out for a good cause, walking barefoot is also slowly becoming a big trend around the world. Research has shown that walking barefoot boasts many health benefits and one that we love is the increase of antioxidants through absorbing electrons from the Earth; keeping one even more connected to Mother Earth, literally speaking!

A day of fun, with food, music, games and entertainment awaits you, and the 2.5km/5km walkathon will be nothing short of fulfilling your needs – spiritually and physically. Sign yourself up now at www.bareyoursole.org.sg!

And when you are done with your refreshing barefoot walk, give yourself a pat on the back and replenish your energy with a good meal! We have selected five places for you to pamper your taste buds and to seek solace in. Well, just because you deserve it!

SUPERTREE DINING @ GARDENS BY THE BAY

Since the Bare Your Sole walkathon is taking place at Gardens by the Bay, why not embrace the surroundings and dine at SuperTree?

Showcasing five different dining concepts, you are bound to find something that you like at SuperTree Dining. Hill Street Coffee Shop has really good local delights like laksa and nasi lemak, and we absolutely love their steamed kaya toast. Over at Peach Garden Noodle House, cave in to affordable and delicious Chinese dishes. Casa Verde serves a range of pastas, pizzas and crostini, while Union Square Cafe offers classic American comfort food like burgers, hot dogs and milkshakes. Or if you have some extra calories intake to clock, go for the fried chicken from Texas Chicken.

DEAN & DELUCA

Since my first trip to Dean & Deluca in New York back in 2012, I have been sold and am a fan of the brand. You really cannot go wrong with their hearty brunch and selection of fine breads. It is not difficult to fall in love!

The Prawn, Avocado & Mango Salad (S$13) is perfect for those with lighter palates. Tossed in a citrus cilantro vinaigrette, the salad comes with fresh and creamy avocado, sweet mango, earthy zucchini ribbons, and vine-ripened cherry tomatoes.

If you are starving after a good work-out, go for the the Berries & Flap Jacks (S$21). Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this is one dish that will make you feel recharged and revitalised.

COOK & BREW

One of our new favourite to-go places is Cook & Brew at The Westin Singapore. It has earned our loyalty with its extensive menu and addictive relaxing vibe.

The cosy interior furnished with oak browns and wood elements is very much like a typical German living room where you can enjoy your comfort food and chill out with friends and families. If you need another reason to head there after the Bare Your Sole walkathon, there is ample parking (S$3/entry on weekends) at Asia Square. And by the way, we’ve said it before but we will say it again – the German platter is so good!

COLD STONE CREAMERY

Ice cream is always good at any time of the day, but even more satisfying after a walkathon. Cold Stone Creamery is currently having a Blueberry Indulgence promotion. Another boost of antioxidants, we’d say!

Opt for the Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream (from S$6), or slurp some Blueberry Smoothies (S$9). The Cheesecake Fantasy Shake with Blueberries (S$9) is a decent choice too or party with your family over Blueberry Passion Cheesecake (S$49 for a whole cake).
