15 Unique Ice Cream Flavours in Singapore That Buzzfeed Forgot to Insult

15 Unique Ice Cream Flavours in Singapore That Buzzfeed Forgot to Insult

Don't say we never tell you. Singapore got so many unique ice cream flavours hor! Chilli crab, Teh Tarik, Pandan and many more! ALL VERY YUMMY ONE.

HEYYYYYY Buzzfeed! We are sorry to see that you have been so culturally insensitive and ignorant, and that you have used YOUR OWN cultural standards to judge what foods are normal and what foods are weird. Hugely disappointing, considering how many of us across the globe love your entertaining articles and quirky stories.

By the way, we would just like to point out that aside from our favourite bread plus ice cream combination, you have ALSO missed out on insulting some other awesome, uniquely-Singaporean ice-cream flavours. Singapore is a multicultural country with so many culinary influences and gustatory preferences. Fusion flavours and unique creations are nothing new! And of course, this applies to ICE-CREAM.

We definitely can’t live without our ice cream, especially in this HOT weather!
