Bangkok Dangerous!
Hey loves! Back before I enlisted in December, I had a little short trip to Bangkok with three of my girl friends, C, THM, and AXY! And while we were there, we found ice cream treats for future/potential Bangkok tourists!
This is really exotic in my opinion, as I've personally never seen or heard of coconut ice cream before but apparently it happens to be a local delicacy and cheap thrill for the Thais!
On one of the days while we were in Bangkok, we went over to Chatuchak Weekend Market for a blood-thirsty shopping spree and came by the very delicious Coconut Ice Cream.
Personally, I'm not a fan of coconut, other than loving it's existence in Pulut Hitam, Kueh Lapis, Nasi Lemak, and Peranakan Curry (it's in my blood being a die-hard Peranakan fan, although I always hated cooking Peranakan Curry). But a taste of the coconut ice cream which C and AXY bought was awesome on a hot day in Thailand.
At 25 baht (Roughly S$1.25) a scoop served with generous portions of fresh coconut flesh, I would say this is really a much better deal than our local one-dollar ice cream. The really smooth texture in the ice cream was awesome for the hot weather and the coconut taste wasn't extremely overwhelming so it was pretty alright.
Watch how AXY holds her precious cup of coconut ice cream with such adoration! You can guess pretty much how awesome it'd be!
It was also cute that they served the ice cream in a coconut husk shell. Adorable huh? Some stalls served the ice cream with peanuts, and others with the jelly and red ruby.
Along the way we also found another stall which sells Fruit Popsicles dipped in chocolate and generously coated all over with rainbow rice/peanuts, another great chilling deal for the hot weather there. So in case you're flying over to Bangkok, Thailand at the very next minute, do give the coconut ice cream a try!
Oh, and while you're there, grab a few bottles of their freshly squeezed mandarin orange juice (which is really really sweet).
