[Mint.Music.Lifestyle] Candies Are A Necessary Part Of My Life - LollyTalk

Resist. 
Resist.
Mmm… resist.
mmmmus.. Resist.
Must Resist.
Mustttt. Resistttt...

Cannot Resist!

Yummy Candies, nom nom nom…
*that is what's going through my head right now*


I only have my keyboard Instructor from Intune Music School, Chi Sheng Lao Shi to thank for introducing me to Mr Ma from LollyTalk. 

Yummy candy + Awesome friendship

Ma Keow Yuen and Joy Tan, who were both trained by two Aussie Masters Ross and Judy, founded Lollytalk. They won Gold Medals for their Fruit Rock Mix (among all the major rock candy makers in Australia) during the 2009 Royal Melbourne Fine Food Awards. At the same year, Ross and Judy also won the Grand Championship among all the hard boiled confectionery makers, hence awarded the title GRAND CHAMPION ROCK CANDY by Royal Melbourne Fine Food Awards.

This jovial man always brightens up my day so much with his laughter and smiles!
I remember vividly how he responded to my question of ,"why have you decided to open a candy shop?"

He said with eyes that shine,"I believe it's every kid's dream to own his/her very own candy shop."

Hey, I really did thought of that when I was younger!
Then I'd have unlimited supplies of candy to eat everyday, heh-heh.





So his Lolly shop is officially my candy paradise now!
LollyTalk is located at Basement 2 (B2-20) of Plaza Singapura. 

The first time I walked in, I don't know what to buy because I wanted to get everything.

Lyrics for Lolly Love (Theme Song of LollyTalk)
LollyTalk, LollyTalk, Jolly LollyTalk
Order up when the brew is done
Making Lolly is full of fun

LollyTalk, LollyTalk, Jolly LollyTalk
Cool the sugar and make it works
Add some magic filled with lovely words
Sweet Lolly soon will become true
Feel the Jolly happiness in you

Lolly Lolly Lolly
With hook to scratch merrily
Once it cools down, scratch with fun
Start to fall in, sweet avalanche

Lolly Lolly Lolly
The extrusion amazes me
Make the happy shape amused
Pull and cut and every sweet fulfilled

Lolly Lolly Lolly
With crush of sweet fantasy
Rocky's cool and Candy's fun
Free to fall in sweet avalanche

Candy candy candy
Tower of Love amazes me
Make Lolly and be amused
You and me and everyone's fulfilled.

Their Hard Rock Lollipops come in all sizes.





The place is filled with cartoon figurines and hard rock candies!


Doesn't these packets look like little pieces of lego from far?
They come in different flavours and designs.

Different mix of candy flavours and designs also have different meanings from 'Keep On Smiling' to 'I love you'. 










I've been hooked on this flavour ever since I first tried them and always keep some in my bag - 
The Plum Guava


You see, I get motion sickness easily and with the help of candies, I can overcome my motion sickness issue. The Plum Guava has the refresh and sweet taste of Guava with hints of Plum sweetness.

This is so tempting wait I have to eat one now.
*pops a plum guava candy in my mouth*

Ok I'm back!
Where was I oh yes, let me introduce more about Plum Guava and this lolly collection. 

The Plum Guava is one of the series of candy flavours launched uniquely to LollyTalk known as the Acquired Taste Collection.

Photo taken from: Lollytalk Facebook.

With interesting flavours such as Chilli Lime, Spicy Mango, Plum Guava, they have also creatively used ingredients such as fruits (real apple/cranberry/lemon), menthol crystal as well as pure honey in the making of this special Collection.

Apart from the 3 flavours I've previously mentioned of which one is my favourite, LollyTalk have also launched the Apple Cranberry, Menthol Grape, Honey Lemon as well as Menthol Honey Lemon.

The collection comes in glass bottles as well as 60gm aluminium refill-packets (S$4.90). 
Great to eat for yourselves or even as a gift for your friends who are overseas.

Remember, the taste of this collection is unique to LollyTalk so it'll be special for them because you won't find them anywhere else!

I'm planning to get some plum guava for my taiwanese friend when I visit Taiwan this coming end July.





The spicy mango flavour reminds me of Thai Mango Salad.


Enjoy your LollyTalkcandies!



The smell of the lolly attracted Bubble Leong.


No Bubble Leong, you cannot have them I'm sorry. 
You can only help post for pictures be good.

Titanic is back, in 3D

"You Jump, I Jump."

That epic moment when Rose was on the verge of jumping off the majestic Titanic and Jack was there to stop her; that's how they first met.

It's exactly 100 years since Titanic sank to the bottom of the ocean.





Well, is Jack real?
Is Rose real?

Honestly, who cares when whatever you're going to experience is going to be one of the most magical, heart-wrenching love story ever made in history. The story of Jack and Rose, on board Titanic's maiden voyage.  In this movie, Jack is a poor artist who won his Titanic ticket by winning in a poker game. He's travelling in 3rd class. Rose, on the other hand, travels in 1st class, a classy young lady who is engaged to a wealthy and powerful man she didn't love.

This beautiful love story brings us back to that fateful day when Titanic, the largest passenger liner at the time of her first sail-off, sank in North Atlantic Ocean and caused the death of 1514 people. On board were thousands of immigrants heading to America to seek a new life and also first class passengers who were millionaires (some with their mistresses OPS)...

I was only 11 years old when I first watched the 3-hour long movie. I used about a box of tissue then. The story is just too beautiful; yet too short. This time, I brought only 3 packets, just in case I poured my heart out to these love birds once more. In the end, I only used 1.

*Applause for my ability to hold back most of my tears*

My 3hr 10minutes in the cinema hall proved to be so worthwhile.

Re-live those moments of the Titanic, now screened in 3D. Which means our beloved Leonardo DeCaprio pops out of the screen so close to you, all you have to do is to churn up your lips and you'll be able to kiss him right in the face.  *blush*

I can relate exceptionally well to the movie, noticing even the cutlery in the background and fashion worn by the characters themselves. They kept the scenes to as realistic as the real Titanic.

When my BDD, Amandashima, brought me to the Titanic artifact exhibition, we learnt so much: stuff used in different classes, the prices, amenities, the structure, information on its passengers(who survived and who did not), the cabins, the coldness of the water etc.

Big screen + 3D = images so realistic that I feel myself on board Titanic, sail-away!
Be prepared to immerse yourself in 3 hours of reality of Titanic: the happiness, the panic, the pain.

The only thing you won't get to see in 3D is the nude body of Kate Winslet. You don't need to see that though. She's gorgeous enough with clothes on.

... Rose lived to an old ripe age, fulfilling all her promises to Jack. These promises made her life even more meaningful, her second chance to live. The time that Jack and Rose spent with each other was so short, but the true love they had for each other was for eternity.

The love story of Titanic filled up the empty space in my heart; now bursting with warmth and full of love; a successful tale created.
