Museum of Ice Cream Singapore

I've been to MOIC twice and it has always been a sweet treat! They work with Singapore's #1 gelato champion - Denzy, and the ice-cream they give is really high quality. There are many stations for you to pass through so get your camera's ready! There is also an MOIC in New York and getting to visit it here in Singapore would be a sweet memory!

You might want to dress your best as there will be plenty of instagrammable spots! Do wear something comfortable because you will get the chance to dive into a sprinkle pool! The location can be a little far, and it is almost a 30min walk in so it will be best to take a taxi inside.

Tip: Come early as there are timeslots and you will not want to miss your slot! The obstacle course is huge and you may not be able to complete all of them during your timing, so book for a longer timing for more fun in the sun!

Eat Turtle Soup

It is really exotic and you will be so brave to try it! This turtle soup store has been around for years and I only got the chance to try it a few weeks ago. It turned out to be surprisingly yummy and tastes like chicken. Really supporting you to try it too! 

Kin Turtle Soup

Tip: Get a free refill for the soup! Expect a piping hot claypot soup that you will really enjoy! You could tell that the soup has been boiled for really long for the fragrance to be so good. Very flavourful!

Joya Onsen Cafe

If you're planning to book a flight to Japan just to try out an onsen (or a hot spring in Japanese), look no further. This is the place to rest and relax yourself by savouring the full onsen experience! The staff is very helpful in preparing the yukata for along with towels in a basket!

The onsen is spacious with shower areas, a sauna, hot tea bath and an ice bath to cool off. Do expect that the experience will involve you going into the sauna and hot bath full naked but it will be a good experience for you to love your body!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Paperdonutholes
In April 2023, I brought a group of Americans to Asia on a low-budget trip where we visited different tourist attractions and soak in the Asian culture. I enjoy sharing my knowledge about different cultures and how we can be culturally sensitive when we visit another's country. A few of my favorite memories also include going to the dressing up in Hanboks to visit the Korean Palaces, Florida's Disneyworld, Night Markets in Thailand and floating on the Dead Sea in Israel! I have stayed and visited in many different countries such as Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia, Taiwan and the United States etc. My favourite things to do is to climb mountains, visit beaches, eat local food and visit farmer's markets. In Asia, we have a very buzzling night life that I hope you get to experience too! I hope that you find my information helpful and any tips are appreciated for my work :)
