It's not very often now that you hear the ringing of a bell that indicates the arrival of the ice cream vendor. They travel either in a small van or on a motorbike with a sidecar, stopping at the most centralised part among a few blocks of flats to ring in their business. Most sell a few choices of ice creams, blocks of ice cream they slice and place between wafers, and an assortment of flavours in a cold pot to be scoop out from and placed in a cone or slice of rainbow bread.
After so many years of testing the flavours of the assorted pot, I've come to like a few flavours, one of which I have not been able to purchase any where else. The attap seed flavour, a pink ice cream, dotted with bits of attap seed, is light and not too sweet. Dad loves attap seed and I only managed to get him out to buy a cone by telling him to see if that flavour was available. Good thing the seller did and the big smile on dad's face as he brought the cone over just made him look like a kid in a candy store.
I have to say though, today was the first one I've got that had huge attap seed lumps in it.
