Swensen’s
Taking a trip back in time, Swensen’s celebrates National Day this year by bringing back the nostalgia-evoking, old-school ice cream truck we’ve all grown up loving. In collaboration with foodpanda, the new, and adorably pretty, Bandung “Fried Chicken” Ice Cream will be available for a limited time only at the Marina Bay Promontory Walkway, from Aug 6 to 8, and Aug 10 to 14. Incredibly true-to-life, this crispy “fried chicken” features a skin layer of feuilletine and crushed cornflakes for that textural crunch, opening to reveal a creamy core of rose flavoured Bandung ice cream and a surprising edible chocolate bone!
