<![CDATA[Calling Ice-Cream Lovers - One-Scoop Ice-cream]]>One of the pleasures I consider simple is eating ice-cream with my child. We take great delight in buying ice-cream and eat as we walk around. Recently, I am only beginning to notice that ice-creams can be really expensive business, some equivalent to a meal in the food court. Let's share the bench-mark of a ONE-SCOOP ice-cream than we know how much we have progressed... I like to use ice-cream to tell my child about past and present.... ๐Ÿ˜‰


The ice-cream I used to eat when I was young was $0.10 and $0.20. A $0.50 ice-cream was a luxury.

Let me start and correct me if I remember the prices wrongly....
Regular One-Scoop Cone/Cup....(without toppings)

1. Traditional ice-cream man................$1.00
2. Bens and Jerry................................$6.20??
3. Haagan Das....................................$5.70
4. Gelatino..........................................$??
5. Mini Melts........................................$2.50
6. Cornetto.........................................$2.60 (this surprised me!)
7. Udders (classic)...............................$3.70
8. Udders(premium).............................$4.??
9. Udders(connoisseur).........................$5.??
10. Andersons......................................$4.??
11. Swenson scoop...............................$??
12. Yami Yogurt....................................$4.60?
13. Movenpick......................................$??
14. Mac cone........................................$0.50
15. Scoopz...........................................$2.90
16. Forget brand (greentea Japanese icecream at Bugis).....$3+

You choose your ice-cream(s), and the toppings you want, then, right in front of you, they mash it together, and serve it to you straight ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

The website is this: http://www.coldrock.com.sg

But then you see, the premium ice cream (like Haegen Dazs, B&J or even the local Udders or Daily Scoop etc) uses premium ingredients, or in Haegen Dazs or imported ones, you're paying for premium ingredients PLUS importing costs. If comparing the ice cream man's potong ice cream, I think the price increase is probably relative to the increase in living costs in general?


To be honest.....ice cream product cost is very very cheap ๐Ÿ˜„
The ingredient of course would make the difference in pricing and quality

For branded ice cream, they have to pay license, royalty and so on and these make the price hikes :?

It's true that the quality of the ingredients (and therefore the price) has a significant impact on the taste & overall quality of the ice-cream. But it's not just that, how you make it is also important. Some of the cheaper brands have more air in them, which makes them less dense than the more expensive brands. You can tell from the texture. Also, because the cheaper stuff has less fat, they need to add other ingredients like emulsifiers to try to get the right consistency. So, you may be paying less for the ice-cream, but you're also paying for a lot more air and other stuff that really shouldn't be in ice-cream!

DS loved the chocolate sorbet as it is made of dark chocolate. Personally I loved the caramel cheesecake ice-cream and lychee and rose ice-cream.

But, to my experience, it is healthier to eat home made ice cream than factory made ice cream :D.... no offence.......

You are right! So my dh is so bent on learning how to make ice-cream for us since we love it so much... :oops: :oops: :oops: From time to time, he makes for us to eat. :love: I must qualify in case this Singapore women thingy surface up, I pay for my kid's and own ice-cream treats. The hubby wants to make to pamper us, not because he feels the pinch in his pockets. ๐Ÿ˜„

I also agree there is no ice-cream so heavenly that the price variance can command so much....we are paying for their rental and franchise costs..

Pretty decent but not the rich and dense type. The fruity ones are refreshing.
