Miyagi Zao Fox Village at Shiroishi - Happy Foxes, Happy Visitors
Ever since I saw pictures of the Fox Village back in 2014, visiting it has been on my bucket list. So when I booked my trip to Japan back in March, I knew that I had to make it here! Our original plan was to travel here from Tokyo but we made a last minute decision to go from Kyoto instead. We left Kyoto at 8am in the morning, arrived at Tokyo around noon to deposit our luggage in the lockers, and made our way to Shiroishi-Zao from there.

Maltby Crumble Bar - Build Your Own Apple Crumble at Singapore's FIRST Crumble Bar!
Inspired by The Humble Crumble in London, Maltby Crumble Bar is my latest venture! It's essentially an extension of my ice cream and cookie brand, Twice Young. When I was living in London, I visited The Humble Crumble in Borough Market a few times. I loved the concept, and how you can dress up your crumble however you like — with custard, drizzles, and a variety of toppings. I starting working on this concept when I returned from my 13.5 month vacation in Europe and the UK with my dog, Snuffles, and tested it at Baker X at Orchard Central in December 2023.
I decided to name the concept Maltby, because we were actually living near Maltby Street in London, and I loved the area! Also, my dog is a Maltese and one of our favourite countries on our trip was Malta! It just seemed very apt, and the name sounds cute too haha
I spent a few months perfecting the recipes for both the stewed apples, and French butter crumble. It's sad that we can't get Bramley apples here, so we are using Granny Smith apples. For now, we only have apple crumble, but we are thinking of creating a berry crumble and a banana one in the future. At Maltby Crumble Bar, you can jazz up your apple crumble with ice cream, custard, drizzles and a myriad of sprinkles such as chocolate crunchy pearls and wildflowers.
Twice Young's signature ice cream flavours will be available on rotation, and our signature brown butter cookies, that we have sold tens of thousands of, will be available as well.
Maltby Crumble Bar is currently taking residency at Pinhole Coffeebar at 27 Purvis Street, #01-02, until the end of March
