Budget Hubby and I are Australians and like most Aussies we love sandwiches. We will eat anything on a sandwich – left over roasts, steak, crumbed or battered fish, and as many different salad vegetables as we can find. We spent a day in Singapore recently, well 12 hours to be exact.
What is that?
Singapore is not a sandwich kind of place?
I agree!
You can’t put a dumpling on a sandwich!! [pinit]
But on Orchard Road, you can put passionfruit icecream on rainbow bread. Sandwich heaven – not on a stick.
Have you ever eaten an icecream sandwich?

I have never ever heard of a Ice-cream sandwich! Hubby would be in heaven to have one of those…and so would our boys 🙂
What did it taste like? Would you try it again?
It was quite bland really. The bread did not have much taste but looked pretty. It really was just a way of holding the icecream which was quite light and fluffy with a delicate passionfruit flavour. You could get different flavours. Welcome on a hot muggy day!

I hate to tell you how gross this sounds to me. I don’t like passion fruit or bread, really. Obviously, I’m not a sandwich girl. So tell me — was it good?
Hi Juliann, It does sound gross. We bought it because it was such a weird thing and the locals were intrigued by it as well. The cart we bought ours from had many more people at it than others we saw on the same road. The bread was not very sweet, just like coloured bread and the icecream was light and fluffy with a delicate flavour of passionfruit, which obviously we love (I grow passionfruit at home). There were other flavours to choose and you could eat it in between rectangles of icecream cone, the choice was ours. Most people took the bread so we did as well. Marty ate most of it, I only had a bite. I love quirky so couldn’t resist! Jan
I think I’ll stick the the Sicily’s gelato with brioche!!
Hi Jenny, I agree that gelato with brioche would be delish, but somehow rainbow bread and icecream fits with Singapore. And you know I can’t resist quirky. It is funny that the ideas are similar though. Jan
