Museum of ... ICE CREAM!!!!

Today we went to the best kind of museum...

it was a cold day of 32 degrees Celsius.We were having trouble thinking of what to do but then we saw on google maps the museum of ... ICE CREAM!!!!!

There was no more question.

In the museum of ice cream there were 14 rooms. The first room had a lot of facts about ice cream such as a brain freeze is when the ice cream touches the top of your mouth it dilates your blood vessels and your nerves over react and try to warm up your brain.

In the next room there were two things. One was a mirror that made you look short and the other was a wall that had cherry shaped holes that you tried to get bean bags into

The next room was set up like a beach and you got little tubs of ice cream. The flavours were chocolate, coconut, and hazelnut.

The next room we also got ice cream - but this time it was soft serve ice cream like Mr Wippy. The room was set up to represent an american diner. It had a juke box and some records on the wall that had ice cream puns on them. For example 'we will rocky road you' or 'Bad to the cone.' The flavours in there were apple pie and pink peppermint. You could also get different toppings.

After that there was a bouncy castle. I had so much sugar that I was bouncing off the walls literally.

After that there was a room full of popsicles. We got to try old-fashioned Singapore style popsicles wrapped in wax paper with lots of local flavours like mango lassi.

This room also had a wall with lots of different flavours of ice cream from around the world.

Did you know that NZ eats the most ice cream per captor in the whole world?!?! Our special flavour was Hokey Pokey. There were also some other weird ice-cream flavours concocted from weird things. For example garlic in Gilroy Northern California in America or cream cheese and cheddar cheese keso ice cream in the Philippines. But the worst was from Alaska. Akutuq is a frozen treat made by whipping together caribou fat with salmon berries, fish, tundra greens and a dash of seal oil. Sounds.... ah.... Bleuch!!!!

After that there was an infinity room with a disco ball.

Next there was a room that would represent a scene from the olden days in Singapore. Back then kids would play in a local playground and an ice cream truck would come to the playground so they could buy ice-cream. The room was set up like a play ground and the ice cream stand in it looked like an ice cream truck. 🚚 In this room we got special ice-cream sandwiches like they would have had in the olden days. The pink one is the flavour of bandung (rose) and lychee.
