| Beat the heat with an ice cream sandwich |
I walked towards The Fullerton Hotel Singapore with the aim of finding the Merlion, and came upon an uncle selling ice cream sandwiches!
His mobile stand featured many ice cream flavours that are in a rectangular shaped cardboard box. When someone asks for a particular flavour, he digs it out and then slices a brick off of it and then either places it in between two thin wafers, or a slice of bread.

He had flavours like yam, chocolate chip, mocca chip, mango, sweet corn, tuti fruit, vanilla, raspberry ripple and chocolate, and the customers before me preferred having their mini ice cream brick in a slice of rainbow bread, which is a bit pink and pistachio coloured.
I chose the cheaper option of wafers holding a slab of durian ice cream.
He dug into his cart and found a fresh box, opened it and slid his knife along the edges to make it easier to cut. Then he sliced it about an inch and a half thick before putting it in between two thin wafers smaller than the ice cream, and placed the sandwich in a small plastic bag to catch the drippings.
The ice cream was fragrant and creamy, and paired with the wafers gave it a bit of a crunch, much like an ice cream cone, but thinner. You couldn't savour the ice cream sandwich for too long as it was hot and so within minutes it had disappeared into my satisfied stomach!
What a fun treat to have if you can find it!
