The Cool Uncle

Recognisable by their big colourful umbrellas and motorcycles strapped to a cart, these mobile ice-cream vendors – affectionately known to many as Ice-Cream Uncles – are a common sight along sidewalks of Singapore. Choose from a selection of flavours and have it served between crispy wafers, a folded slice of soft multi-coloured bread, or in a cup. Given the heat in Singapore, the Ice-Cream Uncle is a popular source of reprieve for many.
