Er Chow Kiat, 31, and his fiancée Cheok Jer Yee, 30, were due to be married last December, but when the pandemic got in the way of those plans, they decided to open a gelato business instead. Their, um, new baby is Paradiddle, a month-old gelato shop in the basement of Kinex Mall at Payar Lebar. Okay, it’s not exactly a substitute for marriage, but the couple say that starting a new business together definitely beats sitting around and being stagnant. #couplegoals? “We put what we’d have spent on the wedding into this business,” Chow Kiat laughs, declining to reveal the amount, though he later shares that the nuptials are now slated for sometime in 2021 when things hopefully simmer down.
