I LOVE Ice-cream

Virtually everyone enjoys eating ice cream; but how well do you know the dessert?Here are some facts and figures for you to think about the next time you're savoring an ice cream;16-50% of ice cream actually consists of air. Of the remainder over 50% is water, while the rest consists mainly of milk products and sweeteners. Suddenly, ice cream doesn't seem like such a sinful indulgence for people on a diet;Ice cream as we know it was probably invented in the 1600s. However, an early form of ice cream called faludeh existed in Persia as early as 400 BC. Faludeh is still made today, but you'll probably have to hop on a plane if you want to try it - it is only available in Iran.In the 19th and 20th centuries, contemporary favorites like the ice cream sundae, the banana split and the ice cream cone were invented. Before the ice cream cone's introduction, cones made of paper or metal were used.
One can only imagine how cold it must have been to hold onto a metal cone. Like they say, no pain no gain!In the 2nd half of the 20th century, ice cream became extremely popular worldwide as refrigerators became affordable to the masses.

Must go and try the ice-cream sold at Icekimo,an ice-cream cafe located at Sin Ming Centre.Interesting ice-cream flavours include Jasmine and Milo Dino. Ice cream also comes served on a waffle. Their best seller is the teh tarik flavour.
