Hello Steemian Friends,
How are you all? All good we hope! It's been another hot sunny day in Bangkok, the Summer is starting here. We actually saw a picture the other day on a news article saying how this week in Bangkok was going to get hotter and hotter. The way they pictured it was in the solar system, usually the correct way is Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth etc, however in the news article it was: Sun, Bangkok, Mercury, Venus, Earth, etc. Anyway, the point is that it's HOT!!
Today it's another Tasty Tuesday's, and in honour of tasty food and heat we thought it best to talk about ice cream! Not any Ice Cream though. You guessed it, Coconut Ice Cream!!
Our Love For Ice Cream
Ice Cream is something that most people love, specially on hot days! For Becca, eating ice cream has been thrown out of the window since about 5 years ago due to her lactose intolerance. She would often opt for sorbets or just the water lollies like Calipo, Fruit Pastels, Rocket Lollies, that sort of kind. She never complained, they were often even her first choice over ice cream. She did and still misses Magnum Almond, mmmmm! Sam's favourite is an Italian one, called Limonice, a lemon sorbet on a liquorice stick. There was no waste (apart from the wrapping) as he would eat everything! A lot of his childhood was spent in Italy so he of course ate a lot of Gelato too, which he also loves, but Limonice brings back a lot of his favourite memories from Italy.
Nutty For The Coco
In Bangkok, we still eat ice cream, but all the flavours are different (more tropical and exotic flavours on offer). These flavours can be anything from Taro, Mangosteen, Durian to Custard Apple. One of the things that Becca loved when she arrived in Thailand was that she discovered she could eat Coconut Ice Cream, and not worry about any lactose in it. Coconut Ice Cream is now like a super amazing sweet treat to give to ourselves, specially appreciated on these hot days! Yet, it's high in calories, so definitely a treat!
Becca's Coconut Ice Cream, with peanuts and sticky rice
When we get our Coconut Ice Cream, close to the house, it is sprinkled with peanuts, and then we can choose to have toppings like sweet corn, jelly, small sticky rice balls, red beans, and at the end it is drizzled with evaporated milk. Becca always opts out of the evaporated milk (contains lactose) as well as the corn, jelly and beans. Sam usually chooses the peanuts, sticky rice balls and the evaporated milk drizzled over.

The best part of it all, apart from the ice cream itself, is that it is served inside the coconut shells :)
Hope you have enjoyed our post! Time for Ice Cream anyone?!
