Waffle date w/ Agnesie Wesie

I found several recommended places by ladyironchef on his website. One of my selections included Hoopla Kitchen & Coffee. Of course, I was dying to try it out. It was pretty inconvenient but I guess it was worth the trip. It can be found at #01-05, Infinite Studios, 21 Media Circle. Get off at One-North MRT station and head for the shuttle bus at the bus stop. It will take you to Infinite Studios and is only available on weekdays, every 15 minutes.

I was done asking people out because whenever I do, they always say they are busy, can't make it, or some shitload excuses. *rolls eyes* They shouldn't even be telling people to meet up and stuff when they are not willing to, really. So, I tweeted hoping someone who is interested in eating waffles to message me and sure enough, Agnes was! I was really happy because I did not expect it lol. She was my PFP classmate and due to some circumstances, she was held back in school for half a year. It'd been a while since we met and thus, this hang out was really meaningful. We had a lot to catch up too. 

This is what Hoopla waffles look like on ladyironchef's webstie. Mouth-watering and appealing! 
Hoopla was not crowded and had a great atmosphere. To add, the grassy environment outside made the visit homely. No fast-paced city feels or stress. I loved it!

Mine was on the left, Agnes' on the right. We also ordered truffle fries to share in case waffles weren't enough.
As you can compare, the plate was different. I was kinda disappointed because the picture on ladyironchef gave me a lot of expectations :/ There's no butter too and the waffles wasn't topped prettily as in the ladyironchef's picture. Oh well. My order was buttermilk waffle with Tahitian Vanilla Bean ice-cream and chocolate sauce. Agnes ordered the same waffle, with Toast Marshmallow ice-cream and salted caramel sauce. Hoopla's signature ice-cream, Tahitian Vanilla Bean ice-cream, was a thumbs up. It sure lived up to its expectations as a signature. We both loved it, to the extent that Agnes liked it better than Toast Marshmallow ice-cream! The price was reasonable. However, we felt that truffle fries was overpriced for its portion. The Coastal Settlement's truffle fries was served in about the same portion and cost $7 (if I am not wrong). 

Because the atmosphere was great and peaceful with low human traffic flow, time spent there was worthwhile. We had spent almost 2 hours there catching up with our lives. Hoopla had a great environment for such casual hang outs, I loved it. 

We did not plan what to do afterwards so the trip to Clarke Quay was an impromptu idea of Agnes'. Of course, we took some pictures as well as took a stroll in that area. 

Agnes wanted to try this Azabu Sabo ice-cream so we bought some to try!
Unfortunately, the ice-cream did not live up to my expectations. It melted really fast despite the not-so-humid weather and the taste was nothing unique. It was also pretty soft, too. 


Pubs errywhereeeee!
Gotta love the colours!
We actually walked all the way to Fullerton Hotel and went to the bathroom LOL. Was so frickin' atas in there. We explored a little bit and were like tourists hehe. T'was a fun time! Looking forward to more dates with my friends! (◡‿◡✿)
