In those days cones are expensive and rare in villages, but bread is cheap, plentiful and delivered on a regular basis to rural areas.
From a business perspective, if there was no sales of ice cream, he still can eat the bread or feed the bread to his family. Eating empty cones for a meal sounds questionable and is a waste if it goes stale in our humid weather.
So yeah ice cream bread.
it is. In Riyadh Saudi Arabia, the rudimentary bread is a bit stale, but some companies sell Milk Bread which is sweeter and taste more like Gardenia bread.
it’s much sweeter than the usual bread in the uk! i never thought it was until i moved overseas and really disliked most breads found in supermarkets lol
My brother was horrified when he visited our uncle only to realise deep fried butter existed. Oil upon oil sounds like a real quick ticket to the toilet and a MC the day after.
It’s a childhood thing where we had the ice cream man on a motorbike selling ice cream on cones or bread , the bread fills you up more especially when you’re running around at the playground or beach.
Of course you can also make it yourself but that’s how most of us had our first ice cream with bread memory
Ice cream + toast is so gooooood
Isn't it kind of similar to ice cream sandwiches in America though? Except.. no cookies involved 😂
Anyway it's a childhood snack, usually afterschool there are a lot of snack vendors hanging around at the schoolgates or at the playgrounds and the motorcycle ice cream man sells this kind of snack. Plus you also have to buy cones when there's usually always bread at home
A bit off-topic but I remember during uni we had to do our final exams in a hall that was outside our campus and when we came out of the hall, a lot of motorcycle ice cream vendors were parked there😂 It was great and they made bank. Very smart
i think so too. ice cream + bread is like another form of ice cream + waffle, or ice cream + crepe. same concept, different style.
now let's introduce you to ice cream + pulut instead 😬
it's a very fulfilling combo imo. the pulut must be steamed and laced well with santan to keep it soft with creamy taste. its similar to that pulut you eat with harum manis, but replace mango with ice cream, vanilla preferably. my mom used to do this everytime we got ice cream at home. i think its popular among the siamese.
I suppose bread was just easier to source for local street vendors with limited resources. Plus bread makes a good "medium" for ice cream as opposed to wafer cones that get soggy and the ice cream melts and drips and gets messy.
It's a childhood classic, just scoop a reasonable scoop of Ice Cream on a piece of bread and fold it, Enjoy! If you buy from a street vendor, they'll use a 5in hotdog bun instead.
Wait until you hear about Friend Ice Cream aka Aiskrim Goreng (Ice Cream inside circular-shaped cut bread and fried), or maybe they also deep fried ice cream already in the US?😅

We didn't invent it. Many others have done it before us, most famous of which I think is Italy's Brioche with gelato.
Ice cream bread is when i want something filling but sweet and cold like desserts. Fill it with lots of ice cream in one piece of ice and fold it. You need to eat it fast or bread will get soggy
You don't? I see other culture does it like Japan with ice cream toast so I figured it's universal. Heck there are ice cream sandwiches in America and yes I know it's a different kind of sandwich (biscuit instead of bread), I figured someone would make an actual bread with ice cream.
Anyway, give it a try. Useful when you are lazy and don't want to clean up afterwards. The laziest version is to just take a small scoop and spread it on a bread and fold in half if you have normal bread.
If you want more, use hotdog rolls and you can fit 3 scoops easily.
I don’t know anyone that has ever mentioned it. But I’ve also been places that sell ice cream sandwiches with doughnuts for the bread.
It’s more so the normal slice of sandwich bread that I found most interesting.
I’m really excited to try it out when I get home!
I think donuts might be rarer than normal bread, haha. But when you mention normal slice, it suddenly clicked on me as to why you or most people find it weird. Normal sliced breads sucked for ice cream sandwiches.
This is because they are too thin and people tend to overload the bread with ice cream and try to spread (I know I did advise to do this but more on this later) it to make it easier to eat. This often result in the thinning of the bread that lead to leaks or it can only hold the ice cream for a short while.
Normal bread sucks so bad for ice cream that it isn't even used for commercial purposes. That's likely why the idea isn't as world wide. Unless you want to sell fried ice cream, then you have no choice but to use normal breads.
Hence why ice cream sandwich sellers tend to use thicker breads. The ones in Malaysia use hotdog breads because they are thicker and have slots that can hold the typical sphere ice cream scoops. In Singapore, the bread they use are also different. It's thicker and depending on the seller, they use cut-up blocks of ice cream instead of scoops.
But you can still use normal breads though. You can use Singapore style where you cut ice cream blocks and place it on your bread. That way you don't have to do any spreading that compromise the bread.
My previous advice of spreading it tend to only work if your ice cream is soft enough (probably being semi-melted or has melted and refrozen) that it acts like a spread than ice cream. If it is hard, then I advice to not use ice cream scoops but normal spoon. Scoop the ice cream and place it on one half of a slice of bread so that you can fold them easily.
You can also do toasted ice cream sandwich. Toasted bread slices, even normal ones becomes a different beast. It actually works a lot better on holding to the ice cream. The hardened texture means they aren't prone to breaking and can resist liquid longer. I still don't recommend you use normal scoop, just spoon. And you can't fold the toast so you have to use another toast to cover it. Also, you can also put spreads on the toast first like chocolate spread. Toasted ice cream sandwich is a different beast altogether.
bread nneed to be toasted 1st. it taste haeven.
flat bread tgther w ice cream didnt do it for me , but my wife like it a lot. lol she even eat ice cream with french fries......
This is my favourite chilhood food.
On a sunny hot day, playing at the local taman playground then suddenly u hear the motorcycle sound with the bell on the handle.
On budget, you order cone ones. If you are like baller, then you order ice cream on bread.
Last time i ate ice cream with bread is from the ice cream motorcycle vendor from elementary school. Yeah it's a thing. Just like how we don't care about pineapple on a pizza.
As weird as that is, we put pineapple on burger sometimes and use spoon to eat rice instead of forks

Yeah cool, I’ll have to give it a go next time I get a chance. Thanks!
You'd want a sweeter bread like a brioche or japanese milk bread as bread here tends to be sweet. King hawaiian rolls would also be perfect
\*laughs in American bread not being sweet\* sir, common american sliced bread might as well be called cake. hahahahahahahahahah
>as bread here tends to be sweet. Since when Gardenia white bread is sweet? Unless I'm just an idiot and taste buds off lol
Didn't realise how sweet our bread was for my whole life up till my twenties. Moved overseas came back years later and tasted the bread. So sweet!

Tbh it's been awhile I've had standard Malaysian white bread, I'm based in EU as well and not complaining with the bread I can get here.
ice cream bread 🍦🍞👍🏻👍🏻
Wait until you hear about aiskrim goreng (fried ice-cream)
He’s American he knows about deep fried ice cream, deep fried candy bars, hell there’s even deep fried butter lmaooooo
Haha, if you can eat it, you can deep fry it lol
By this axiom, we can finally put the age-old debate to rest: you DRINK soup.
But what about deep fried deep fried ice cream

Ice cream + pulut? First time hearing this. Tho like the other guy said cendol pulut is close enough i guess its not bad
it's a very fulfilling combo imo. the pulut must be steamed and laced well with santan to keep it soft with creamy taste. its similar to that pulut you eat with harum manis, but replace mango with ice cream, vanilla preferably. my mom used to do this everytime we got ice cream at home. i think its popular among the siamese.
I see.. im not a big fan of pulut but i can tolerate cendol pulut or kuihs like seri muka. Imma give this a try someday
We have cendol pulut, so about halfway there
During harum manis seasons, I'm eating harum manis with ice cream, preferably the green mint ones.
I suppose bread was just easier to source for local street vendors with limited resources. Plus bread makes a good "medium" for ice cream as opposed to wafer cones that get soggy and the ice cream melts and drips and gets messy.
Ice cream vendors sells ice cream on a hot dog bun. It's sweet and savoury. What's there not to like?
it's called an ice cream sandwich... had one in Singapore
Hot dog bun but instead of hotdogs you put ice cream.
Dumb ass idea here , how about we flatten , toast the bread in air fryer / stove / oven until crispy , and then sandwich the ice cream ?
Good idea. It's pretty much ais krim goreng
It’s nice
It's a childhood classic, just scoop a reasonable scoop of Ice Cream on a piece of bread and fold it, Enjoy! If you buy from a street vendor, they'll use a 5in hotdog bun instead.

I joked with my Malaysian gf that you guys tried to copy our "ice cream sandwiches" but got too literal 😅.
Yes especially with hotdog buns
I only had ice cream in between two wafers
Wait until you see the cheese donuts...
Not all the time, but it is nostalgic when we do. Hope you’ll enjoy it as much when you try it out!
My American friend that came to visit called it something that you have at home - Ice cream sandwich
I do eat ice cream with bread. Is it that unbelievable?
The strangest combo I have ever heard about
The first time I did this in US ppl thought it was the most disgusting thing ever. Almost like putting ketchup on a Chicago hotdog.

Haven't tried that in a long time. Thanks for reigniting some good memories of it, OP.
Heyy, I'm that ice cream + bread guy, lol
Ice cream bread is when i want something filling but sweet and cold like desserts. Fill it with lots of ice cream in one piece of ice and fold it. You need to eat it fast or bread will get soggy
On toast? Heathen 😂😂 on nude bread, so you can partake in 'soggy or in the belly' race.
And buns, not sliced. And gotta go for Napolitano ( I think) flavour
Naww, Paddle Pop Rainbow 🌈
You have pancakes with ice cream, waffle with ice cream… bread with ice cream shouldn’t be that far of an leap
It's my favourite! Never miss to buy it when ice-cream man comes.
You have to try vanilla icecream on fermented sticky rice next. Heavenly!! Locally it's tapai + icecream.
All the time. Buy 1 litre ice cream of my choice and a loaf of bread. Easy as…

top notch
U can either use a hotdog bun or a burger bun or normal wonder bread. For hot dog buns it's 3 scoops usually
There's a post Bolehland literally about making this now.
