#488 Lickety Ice Cream & Waffles @ Bussorah Street, Singapore
Han, Wai Ming and I have not reunited for a long time, thus we were thinking to meet up for coffee a day before new year eve. Han did some research and gave us a list of cute places to check out, take a break and take photos with. Out of the five options she gave, Lickety caught my attention!

Han and I met at Bugis station so that we could walk over to Lickety together. It was drizzling at that time and we were sharing one umbrella together. Thankfully, we managed to reach Lickety without getting drenched although google map was not helpful as we thought that Bussorah Street is the street after and had to walk back once again. We were surprised to see how crowded and small Lickety is so we decided to wait outside for about 10-15 minutes before we managed to get a table at the corner of the cafe. There are only 2 small tables inside the cafe and 4-5 small tables outside the cafe so a lot of people were eating and standing at the same time. A lot of customers were looking at us because Han and I just purchased 1 mixed red velvet and original egg waffle filled with 3 scoops of ice-cream (earl grey and fig, taro yam and coconut and mint) and topped with colorful toppings and marshmallows as taken in the 8th picture. However, we kept hogging onto the table because we were taking photo at the corner of the cafe with the logo name as depicted in the 7th picture.
When Wai Ming has yet to arrive but we have already finish our dessert, we continued putting our bags on the table in order to reserve the place and went out quickly to snap some shots with the pastel colored entrance. While Han was taking some pictures for me, I saw Wai Ming and burst out laughing! We went back in and order another set, which consists of red velvet egg waffle filled with taro yam, speculoos and earl grey and fig ice-cream topped with fruit loops and caramelized nuts as seen in the 8th picture. Since there were no customers sitting at the entrance seats, we went out to snap more pictures while waiting for our dessert to be prepared as shown in the 9th picture. The good thing about Lickety is that the server will look for you to serve you your ice cream even if you are outside or inside the cafe though they are very short of staffs. The staffs also did not chase us out when we were waiting for Wai Ming after we have finish our desserts.
Initially, Han found the dessert delicious but towards the end of it, she felt that it was too sweet. Wai Ming was very impressed with the cuteness of the cafe and taste of the dessert that she highly recommends this place over another ice-cream shop nearby. I was so addicted to it as I shared one set with Han and another set with Wai Ming. Guess what happened next? I brought my boyfriend to try this the following week and he loves it! We tried red velvet egg waffle filled with passionfruit raspberry sorbet, mango sorbet and speculoos ice-cream topped with colorful cornflakes and Oppa’s favourite pocky. Oppa is usually a sorbet person, while I am always going for gelato and ice-cream. This is a refreshing change though! Please note that our dessert set comprising of egg waffle filled with 3 scoops of ice-cream and topped with two toppings cost SGD$13.90 (USD$10.53 / CAD$13.17), which is quite filling and good for 2-3 people to share!
Opens daily from 11:00am to 10:00pm
HALAL CERTIFIED
Nearest Station: Bugis via Downtown and East West Line (Blue & Green Line Respectively)
There are plenty of ice-cream stores around the Masjid and most of them are HALAL Certified since there are many delicious Turkish and Malay eateries around the area but I did not imagine finding this hole in the wall ice-cream store if not for Han!
