Western Ice Cream

Today I shall show you the Western Style of Ice Cream. This is what we get at McDonalds, the 60 cents cone. (used to be 50 cents until recently)



This cone looks like Elvis hair ya?
Tomorrow's post will be South East Asian version of ice dessert.

Back to the $1 ice cream post..

If you remember the posting I had about the $1 ice cream, here's the close up of it.

Yummy yummy. Ice cream, whether its a cheapo brand or an expensive brand, it brings delight to my heart (and tummy.. haha)




Here's the link to the post previously.

For Aussie folks reading, Walls Ice Cream = Streets Ice Cream in Aust.

$1 Ice Cream on Orchard Road

Another permanent display at Orchard Road is the ice-cream carts that you now see along most road junctions along Orchard Road. They sell ice cream for only $1. They are usually sold by 'uncles' or 'aunties'. Most of them are uncles, but you do get see some aunties vendors.

The ice cream comes in variety of flavours. Choc Chips, Vanilla, and unique flavours like Durian, Lychee etc. It all depends on where the vendors get their stocks from. Usually it is Walls, Magnolia or Kings.

When you order, the uncle will take out a block of ice cream from his container that's filled with dry ice. He will then slice out ice cream the size about a bar of soap. Then he asks you, wafer, bread or cup.

The ice cream bar will then be sandwich between 2 pieces of wafers if you request for wafer. If you request bread, the bread will wrap around the ice cream bar. Their bread are usually colourful bread, with pink and green streaks. haha.. Cups will be your choice if you prefer not to get messy and use a spoon to eat.

WAIT, you say... (from overseas readers of this blog) Ice cream with bread? Yes. Try it at home. Get a slice of bread and wrap around your favourite ice cream. They taste rather good.

So, visitors to Singapore, pop by these uncles and aunties for a cheap $1 treat when you are visiting. It's hot and humid in Singapore, and their ice cream provides a quick refreshing perk.

Question: What if I am a snob, and I dont eat cheap ice cream.
Answer: There's a Haagan Dazs kiosk along Orchard Road :-)
