A Taste of Happiness

The Daily Scoop, simply well named. It is indeed a place meant to be visited every day. I can find none other place to add sweetness to a mundane, or perhaps even lousy, day. Located at Sunset Way, Clementi Arcade, the small but amazing ice-cream parlour serves a variety of traditional, local, interesting, outrageous, unique and liquored flavours.

With only an estimate of 40 square metres of space, of which only half or less is used by the customers, Daily Scoops can only house around 30 ice-cream lovers at its peak periods, usually on a weekend night. The petite cafe is well organised and has large windows, letting in maximum daylight to ensure its spaciousness and reduce the feeling of enclosure. The interior is mostly furnished white to keep the place fresh and bright. The colourful collage on the left wall adds to the liveliness of the cafe and the strategic colour play of thick orange and red paint which accompanies its signature name helped boost the appetite of the patrons.

The fact that the Cafe is small and simple without any fanciful interior design; it instills a light hearted feeling and allows people to savour the ice-cream without distractions. The Daily Scoop is one of my favourite place, and definitely my favourite ice-cream parlour, because of its simple and lively interior space and more importantly, the superb and magical flavours which never fail to put a smile on my face even on the most exhaustive or moody days. I guess the goodness of a place is not always measured by how well designed or how much strategic thought is put in the organisation of space but also, what it has to offer to people using it. I always looked forward to my next visit every time I had to leave.
