If you grew up in Singapore, you’d be familiar with the concept of Ice Cream Uncles who sell ice cream potong (the type of ice cream available in blocks that you have to cut). They move from one area to the next and the distinctive ringing of the bell is one you’ll notice immediately! ? But it might be hard to find these ice cream uncles if you don’t know where to look. Here are some who are stationed in more busy streets!
