What a fun place to pop into. It's a typical candy store, probably overpriced for tourists…read more Although I do like that it's priced based on size of the "pill bottle" and not weight. A little odd that you use plastic gloves to select the candy and put them in the bottle. It was odd to try to fit as much in as possible with different sized candy. It's a good souvenir or gift to to make for someone else. They have sticker messages that act as "directions"....very fun

Looking to buy some souvenirs, we decided to visit this chocolate boutique…read more The girl working here greeted us right away even though she was assisting another customer. As soon as she was finished she gave all her attention to us. Talk about first class service, she took the time to show us everything in the store and to answer any questions we had. The packaging is beautiful. My son is a huge dark chocolate lover so I let him choose whatever he wanted. I dropped some serious cash here $$$. Lol. I actually have a section in my fridge where it is all dedicated to nothing but chocolates. I hope my family and friends will enjoy these delectable sweet morsels.

I like chocolate. I like chocolate shops…read more I saw this place across the street after a long day of sightseeing and we had to stop in. In addition to having single-origin chocolate from Ecuador, they've got some other bars. Since it was late and we were tired, we purchased a sampling and verified that they'd be open the next day. We tried the chocolate and decided to go back and get more to give as gifts -- the kids are also appreciators of craft chocolate. I bought a bag of candied ginger, coated in dark chocolate. It may sound weird, but it is amazing! My wife liked a bar that had orange filling. The combination of dark chocolate and orange is definitely a favorite in our house. The chocolate is not too sweet and the São Tomé bar I purchased reminds me a bit of coffee -- so a mocha flavor just from the beans, sugar and vanilla.

The gelato is pretty solid. My coffee and chocolate combination delivered on the sweetness and had…read moreoverall decent flavor, though neither flavor was particularly intense. For me it was served at the perfect temperature: Not too cold to hold, just on the edge of melting, delivering half-melted bites of gelato all the way throughout the cup. I did notice visible ice crystals and also ice on the palate, which is an unfortunate sign of non-ideal freezing: Either it was flash frozen or it's been in the case for too long. It is unfortunate that all the flavors are sealed away in lidded containers. That's no way to browse for gelato: the color and temptation is all sealed away behind identical-looking containers. I made do by reading the menu, which is written in English and Portuguese. It was also clear as day, from the forced smile and workmanlike manner of the sole behind-the-counter staffer, that he was totally over his job. That vibe drags everything down a little.

Loved the neon signs and 1950s theme of this gelato shop! Employee was patient and kind as we chose…read moreour flavors. Since they are stored in metal tubs - it's a good sign the gelato is good! The gelato was soft, but very tasty, it just melted a bit quicker. In a medium cup, I got marabunta (chocolate chip), mango, & chocolate! All 3 were great flavors! Overall would come back here!

Time Out market is overwhelming and fun. Best to come with a small group, so you can finagle a…read moreplace to sit, while others in the group hunt and source for the best bites. There's a variety of options and cuisines available, plus beers, wine and cocktails for purchase. I would leave small children at home with a babysitter, as trying to maneuver through the crowds with a stroller is just too much to deal with. We liked the tacos, burgers and pad Thai. Desserts are also available.

There's a big difference between a Time Out Market versus a hawker market like Maxwell Food Centre…read morein Singapore or the Tsukiji Outer Market in Tokyo. Jamie W and I have been to the smaller Time Out Markets in NYC (Union Square and DUMBO), but we could never find our footing in these places. This one has the distinction of being the original Time Out Market, so it's had over a dozen years since its opening in 2014 to develop its cred with dilettante foodies and insufferable vloggers. At the same time, the rigid conformity of the food vendors to the Time Out brand makes this place feel far removed from the family-run businesses where you can get a more authentic ambiance and for the most part, cheaper prices. Paying the equivalent of $8 for an overdecorated donut may produce momentary Instagram gratification but little else (Photo 8). That's not to say the layout here isn't well organized, but basically you're relegated to long communal tables where your movements are restricted. Being elbows-to-elbow with famished, arm-waving tourists is not ideal. We were even here during off-peak hours, so I'm presuming it becomes more chaotic and cacophonous during lunch and dinner rushes, especially with the reverberations created from the high ceilings (Photo 9). With dozens upon dozens of food choices, this place is ideal for large groups who have no interest in exploring their own dining options, the ones who are perfectly satisfied with hanging out in food courts in shopping malls.
