Singapore Soft - Sweets

Someone has rightly said:

“Without ice cream life and fame are meaningless”

Going with the saying, it would have been meaningless to visit Singapore and not gulp some yummy frozen scoops. We came across two very different ice cream experiences in Singapore. One was the trying to snatch my ice-cream scoop from the hands of a tricky Turkish Ice-cream seller and another one was having the plain ice-cream sandwich.

Turkish Ice-cream

On the first evening of SG, we landed to Clarke Quay.

It was humid, the clouds were teasing... Sometimes bursting...

We needed something cool... And on side of bay, from where the HiPPO River Cruise starts, Turkish ice cream stall served as an oasis...

But what is Turkish ice cream?

Had never heard about it, so asked him how was Turkish Ice cream different from regular ice cream... He informed that it was little more chewy, little more soft and melted too soon!

Checked out the flavors... He had vanilla, chocolate, mango and strawberry...

He dug the ice-cream container, with a long ladled scoop, and there began the fun! The guy at the stall would make you want your ice-cream badly! He would switch the cones of your ice-cream, flip them, toss them, ring the bells, and juggle all the way saying: “Thaerkheesh Aiscreeem”.  He will do everything but give you the ice-cream cone. But finally the good and not-so-costly ice-cream comes along with great entertainment.

Trick to get his ice-cream: Try grabbing the cone from top not bottom ;)

Ice Cream Sandwich

On another fine evening, when we the-hungry-hunters @Bugis Street, were looking for some refreshment, we found out a fabulous way to spend a dollar! And it was to have Ice-cream sandwich.

Earlier what we had in the name of ice-cream sandwich sounded more like iced-Cream biscuits, having ice-cream between two biscuits! But this time what we had, was resembling more to the definition of ice-cream sandwich. It was simply an ice-cream block clutched by a slice of bread.

A variety of Kwality walls ice-cream flavors (to choose from) sliced into small uniform rectangular brick and kept in between fluffy mildly sweet pink-green coloured bread, was indeed a gateway to eternity! It was easy to make, delightful to eat and was filling for the tummy… That too all in a single dollar!
