If you love the lemak flavour of the coconut rice in Nasi Lemak, take your love of the local dish to the next level with Coldstone’s Nasi Lemak ice-cream. This whacky concoction is surprisingly good with its sweet coconut ice-cream, topped with actual peanuts, ikan bilis and sweet chilli sauce – which adds a nice kick.
There’s also the Pulut Hitam flavour, consisting of the same creamy coconut based drenched in chewy black glutinous rice.
Bonus: You could even win Cold Stone Creamery vouchers of up to $100 if you post pictures of these new ice cream flavours!

We can’t wait to snatch up the bargains this SG53 has brought us and look forward to years of deals to come. Maybe in 47 years, we’ll get that ever elusive 100% off #AGirlCanDream 😉
But beyond our national pastime of scouting out good deals, there’s also an annual routine that’s close to our hearts: the National Day Parade. Whether we’re live at the parade, or watching it unfold proudly at home, one thing’s for sure – it gives us all the feels.
So let us wear our red and white with pride when we recite the pledge and sing the National Anthem as a nation during this NDP 2018. With the island-wide celebrations leading up to this moment, all we can say is, have a wonderful 53th Birthday Singapore.
This post was brought to you by NDP 2018.
