Ais Krim Goreng


I first heard of "fried ice-cream" a couple of moons ago.You know how it is, someone mentions it..and immediately the brain goes into over-drive with all the possible questions..such as..

1) how do you fry the ice-cream?

2) Won't it melt?

3) Who thought of it?

4) Does it taste good?

5) Can it be home-made or must it be done in a special way only possible in high-tech kitchens??


For lunch ( which was a wet affair seeing as the cyclical rain decided to pour just as we were parked making the manouvre out of car dodgy) We had fried ice-cream.Sharing one single umbrella with 3 other human bodies of various shapes and sizes isn't easy. We made a couple of trips in pairs and just as we sat down for lunch, the sun came out and the rain ( magically ) stopped. Apparently this isn't at all surprising in Kuala Trengganu. How unlike our capital city, where rain once it starts refuses to ease off for hours on end.


I had fried ice-cream for dessert during lunch. It was lovely...brought back childhood memories of chomping down ice-cream before it melts. Memories are triggered by taste as much as the sense of smell.

You can order fried icecream in Mexican restaurants. I wonder if it is made the same everywhere?

Haven't had fried ice-cream but ice-cream in the oven. It has some fancy French name.

kenju: the fried ice cream here is done like so.....it's wraped with a very thinly sliced piece of bread and dipped in hot oil for seconds until you get a lovely golden color.

anna: Ice-cream in the oven? wow I'm trying very hard to decide how the ice-cream remains intact. Gosh the things people invent with food. Its amazing isn't it?

Fried ice cream always was hard for me to wrap my mind around too.

The big thing here now is Deep Fried Coke. I'm not making it up...
