Nowadays, the kids recognise the sound of the Ice-Cream Man's tinkling bell, as he rings it around our estate.It was just before dinner around 5.30pm on Saturday, when he pushed his cart hoping to get eager children to buy the ice-cream. With a mummy (me!) who loves ice-cream, who could resist?
They waited patiently as the uncle chopped up the ice-cream in slices and put it into a bag for the kids. You know, we buy them in slices which can be put between wafers, or between pieces of bread. He doesn't sell the "Potong" type, which means, the type that you scoop and put in a cup. He only sells the 'sliced' type.
We purchased about $8 worth of ice-cream from him, and the kids ate their share before dinner. Needless to say, they took less food for dinner.
Well, as long as they love it, and enjoyed the whole experience, it is something I want them to take away as part of their childhood memories.

My fave was the chocolate slice!
Cool! The ice-cream cart is still around! Ice-cream on bread..yumyum. It used to be $0.50 each. How much is it now?
Nowadays each slice costs S$1. I hope it doesn't change!
Hope these things stay around! It is yummy, cheap and so Singaporean.
