Soyabean Ice Cream

Everyone who lives in Singapore should try Mr. Bean's Soyabean Ice Cream. Especially if you like ice cream and/or soyabean milk. Sadly, there are no pictures, because i was too busy eating my ice cream to think about things like photographs, but this ice cream totally rocks. it's advertised to be low in fat and cholesterol and all the other things that are bad for you, which makes sense, since it is made from a bean. so, when you think about it, it does not sound very appetising, especially in my book, where stuff thats good for you is rarely good to eat. Plus, it sounds almost sacrilegious, ice cream, made with no..cream?? it sounds on par with reduced fat potato chips!!
so why did i even eat this ice-cream-imposter? well, my mum and i were at suntec's food fair one year and i decided to try it, because i wondered how it would taste. man, was it good. today, whilst working, i suddenly had an insade craving for it, so after work, M and i headed down to AMK Hub to eat it. mmmmmmmm-good.

it's thick, rich, creamy, and so, so distinctively soyabean in flavour that it quite boggles the mind for a moment after that first bite. soyabean is not supposed to taste rich and creamy, and, in M's words, sinful. soyabean is what my aunt eats/drinks when she's on a diet! but this ice cream will just smash to smithereens your previous ideas about soyabean. the texture is somewhat akin to that of coconut cream, especially when you eat it all the way into the cone, where the ice cream has sort of melted, and there's this thick, creamy sludgy thing that is oh-so-goood. mmm. i love it. lurrve it. love the creaminess, love the flavour, love the price too! a cone costs you only $1.20, and ice cream fills the entire cone, plus about 3 swirls on top. is that value for money or what?

man. thinking about it makes me want it again. pity it's soft-serve and you can't take a pint home...
