[Media Invite] Ben & Jerry’s Flagship Opens at 313 Somerset & Samantha Lee says hi!

by - Tuesday, April 14, 2015




Ben & Jerry’s has opened its very own Flagship Scoop Shop at 313 Somerset Discovery Walk on 7 April 2015. In celebration of this memorable day, the good old folks  out free scoops of ice cream from 2pm-8pm.  Opening-day-only special flavors like Turtle Cheesecake and Seven Layer Coconut Bar were also served. 



Ben & Jerry’s Flagship Scoop Shop will boast an expanded menu where one can choose from 18 euphoric ice cream flavors, new menu additions, and an expanded range of merchandise. Staying true to providing fans the best possible ice cream made in the nicest possible way, 

Ben & Jerry’s is also taking values-led sourcing local. Bakery items like brownies and cookies and herbs like mint will be supplied by social enterprises, SCORE Bakery under the Yellow Ribbon Project and Edible Garden City which champions the Grow Your Own Food movement in land-scarce and import-dependent Singapore.

A new Benefit Tuesday Night programme, exclusive to the flagship, will run on a Tuesday every month, allowing various local welfare organisations to engage the public on their causes. Ben & Jerry’s will donate 20% of sales during the 7pm – 9pm event to featured social mission partners.

So Remember to dine in Ben & Jerry's  to make your Moollah work for charitable causes. 


It's no easy feat being a scooper as I had my go at being a Ben & Jerry's Scooper Trouper at their Free Cone Day in 2014. Click to read on my experiences.
Kudos to all the scoopers and staff of Ben & Jerry's for the opening that day! 


In addition, we were privileged to be part of the exclusive ice cream creation workshop with international food artist, Samantha Lee. 

It was such joy and excitement to meet the person behind all the lovable, creative and inspiring food arts.  They had come together for a charity collaboration to create a delicious Sundae - Peace, Love and Commmoonity. 
Aren't the 2 cows just so CUTE?? 
Not only are they aesthetically appealing, but they are smacking good too! You can always put your trust onto Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Available only at the Flagship Scoop Shop until 31 August 2015, all profits will be donated to Ben & Jerry’s Benefit Tuesday Night partners. Do your part today to get scoopin’ and share some love!
$17.90 each and available at Ben & Jerry's Flagship store, 313 Somerset only~

The fun things we did at the light-heartening workshop with Samantha Lee. 



Samantha then went on to showcase a live demonstration on how the Peace, Love and Commmoonity sundae was created.





Final product!

The bloggers were then given the happy task of creating our very own food art!
Pampered by so much ingredients to choose from.


So these were what we chose.
So colorful right?

We started out with creating a brownie base similar to Samantha's creation.



Here are the 2 lovely gals I met on the same team.
After much hilarious discussion and feeling quite adventurous with our creativity...

... I present you our Panda food art creation!! TADA.
 Okay I know, doesn't really resemble panda, but well the green grapes represented the leaves and strawberries, the flowers. The big blop of chocolate on the body represents the stomach and the black spot of the pandas. Haha. We thought it resembled more like a cute creature or alien in fact. :P :P

Utmost thanks to the lovely team of Ben & Jerry’s and Samantha for choosing us as the 2nd prize winner!! A pleasant happy ending we won a prize.  

Our free pints prizes~~ Hooray~~


Tucking in!!! Attack!

We were also introduced to the latest Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Mint Milkshake!!
Shake it shake it.
This new creation is totally refreshing. I had my sip before knowing what it was and could detect the cooling and refreshing mint in an instant. Not overly sweet and makes for a cook thirst quencher. Love.


A tremendous heartfelt thanks to Ben & Jerry's for the invite and the PR team for the tremendous effort in putting up such a fun and interactive session! So happy to met Samantha too~~ If you haven't seen her adorable lively plating art works head on to her Instagram.
