fresh fruits over yummy coconut ice-cream
PhotoHunt theme : Over/Something Rusty
Shopping at the Chatuchak weekend market in Bangkok can be very tiring. Plus the hot weather in Bangkok, it was a welcome treat when I chanced upon a rustic cafe selling ice cold coconut ice-cream.
Their rich, creamy coconut ice-cream cost 35 baht (S$1.40) with three selected toppings. From a wide selection of toppings, I chose fresh longans, jackfruit and basil seeds. The coconut ice-cream was not too sweet and it is really delicious.
choose from a selection of toppings
Being served ice cream in a coconut was really novel for me. I got to eat the tender coconut meat, 3 scoops of coconut ice-cream with toppings of my choice and a complimentary cup of pure coconut juice.
Besides the usual beverages, the cafe also serves light meals such as sandwiches and traditional Thai snacks.
The place is really small, it only has 5 tables. Good thing we went before lunch so it wasn't super crowded. Love the friendly service.
Plain water served in a rusty mug :)
The ice cream is so cheap! we can get their coconut ice cream here in penang sometimes.... for Rm 4 to 5, a small one :x
ReplyDeleteIf it is yummy, the price is fine. The coconut ice-cream I ate here in Singapore was not as tasty as the one I had in Bangkok and it cost S$3. -_-
ReplyDeleteha... I posted a picture from Bangkok too. I tried it in the same market and again and again... :)
ReplyDeleteSeeing that photo means my holiday in Bangkok is over! :(

Sounds and looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteOuh...I have never tried coconut ice cream before. :p
ReplyDeleteI like it when it reminded you to brush your teeth, meaning that coconut ice cream will rot your teeth. :p
ReplyDeleteHow nice if that bowl is right in front of me right now, hehe....
ReplyDeleteHmmm... so did you think it over the top to be served coconut ice cream in a coconut shell? Have to say that concoction looks super yummy. You've got me hankering for it!!! :D
ReplyDeleteTry it when you are in Bangkok. It's really delicious.
DeleteIt was so many years ago that I was in Bangkok...but, there, I had the most wonderful fruit of my life, seldom found again - mangosteens. I even did a blog about it once.

Yummy! Makes me feel like going back to Bangkok!
ReplyDeleteBut I am not so interested to go to Chatuchak as it's hot and congested. Maybe they sell these coconut ice cream elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteThat ice cream sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat does look like the most interesting dessert! ~pass the bowl, it looks like a treat I would be all over ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm craving for some fruits...

They look so yummy. The price is cheap. I envy you. :D
ReplyDeleteJe ne connais pas toutes ces bonnes choses mais je les goûterai volontiers.
