Tucked within Adler Hostel is a quaint lil' cafe offering up French vibes, croissants and delectable ice-cream which is none other than @madameooze. Yet another place on my list - I finally decided to head down to check them out after constantly seeing their croissant x ice-cream combination on Instagram.

The cafe is decked out in an eclectic mix of furnishings - every corner an Insta-worthy spot for all y'all influencers out there. With French instrumental cafe music on the playlist, I definitely felt transported to the Parisian city that is France.

While Madame Ooze offers a few other pastries as well, their specialty is none other than their croissant vessel to pair with their selection of ice-cream. I'm not sure if the croissants are sourced or baked in house but either way it was good and the staff had the decency to toast it up prior to serving which I really appreciated. (Unlike many other places that serve up a sad rubbery cold croissant - *glances at Paris Baguette*.)

I went with Pistachio and White Chrysanthemum - both delicious Earthy flavours that were done perfectly. I was initially afraid that the White Chrysanthemum wouldn't taste as its namesake but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it tasted just as expected and actually even better.

The croissant served as a wonderful vessel for the scoops of ice-cream and I got to wondering why haven't I had this combination before?! Move aside waffles, you're old news - croissants are the way to go from here on out.
