Blog #1: My favorite snack

Hi, I'm Yuki Shirai!
Today, I would like to introduce one of my favorite snack, ice cream sandwich.

I first ate this snack in Singapore when I visited my friend. The official name of the ice cream sandwich is "wafer ice cream", and it consists of two wafers and ice cream between them. Common flavors are ripple, yam, chocolate, chocolate chips, and honeydew. I was surprised there was no vanilla flavor, because the most popular ice cream flavor, I think, is vanilla. I ordered chocolate chip, and it was delicious! My friend told me this snack is sold throughout the year since there is no winter season in Singapore.

This picture is a little bit different from wafer ice cream. Instead of wafers, ice cream is sandwiched by two slices of multicolored bread (although you can't really see the differences of colors in this pic).

You can see more detailed information about wafer ice cream here.

And this is a video that shows how to make it. It's really simple and fast!

  3. This is Ms. MacGregor. These are ice cream sandwiches. You can eat them in Japan, can't you? I have eaten them before. One time, it was Blue seal's - I got it in Okinawa. This site shows them (but it is not very good - maybe more info in Japanese somewhere): http://en.blueseal.co.jp/museum.html#menu02
    But I am sure I have eaten them in Kanto. Haagen Dazs sells something like them, I think, but I don't like Haagen Dazs so I never tried one. Please look around or search online for what you are looking for. The standard ones are vanilla ice-cream and a chocolate cookie. Oh, just writing about them is making me crave one!
