addiction to ice

this love affair, adoration for ice cubes started somewhere in my 2nd trimester. Medically it signals the lack of iron in the body hence the cravings for "non-food" items during pregnancy. But such cravings should disappear after delivery but mine is here to stay. Definitely. And i kinda welcome it! haha!

I just love ice cubes.. munching on them just relieves stress and tension, and sometimes makes me all calm and sedated. Now that I have started work and freezer-less, i am missing the ice-cube munching activity LOTS! and problem is the nearest 711 carrying those handy-pack ones as well as Gulp dispenser drink is about 15 mins uphill walk from the office! (i actually did the walk the other day... cos it was soo warm, and feeling the strain at work... just needed the relief)

Anyway, while others have started food blogs, chocoloate blogs etc... i am going to keep updating this entry of mine with a list of where to get nice ice chips/cubes to satisfy this crazy habit of mine. Who knows, i might even make new friends who are just as addicted to ice!

Places that serve great munchable ice:

  1. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf -- small cubes of ice that's easy to the mouth and yummy to crunch
  2. KKH Maternity Ward -- medium sized cubes that are surprisingly easy to crunch. Really stress-relieving in between contractions!
  3. Kopitiam -- large square pieces that are thin and easy to crunch altho' too bad about the 30cents charge for a cup of ice
  4. Burger King -- medium flat squares that are easy to handle and fantastic to crunch!
  5. McDonald's -- small-medium squares of crystal clear ice... Awesome!
  6. Fish & Co -- thick squares with a dimple in each ice cube makes them easier to crunch and chew. As lovely as its seafood platter! haha!
  7. Discovered this just yesterday! The drinks stall at Chong Pang Food Centre... soft crushed ice... super duper yummy! this is easily my no. 1 now!


ice chips fr fish & co... i know, i know.. almost gone (this was my 2nd cup)
