Ice Cream Truck by Kem Tươi Plo @ Hanoi Walking Streets near Ngoc Son Temple [Vietnam]

I am aware that when one is hot, one will crave for something cold, like ice blended beverage or ice cream. But in a climate that's less than 20 degree celcius, the allure of ice cream didn't seem to have died down in Hanoi! 

So many people were seen crowding around ice cream stalls, and ice cream trucks like the above. I did have a simple yet pricey ice cream on my first day in Vietnam's capital city and it was a disappointment. 

This one from the truck was a lot cheaper at just 15,000 dong (about 85 cents). Seeing kids and adults like savoring the ice cream, we couldn't resist and decided to join the queue! 

There were other flavors but I am a die hard vanilla ice cream fan! Maybe it's nostalgia, I can still remember loving a scoop of vanilla ice cream in my A&W root beer float! That's like the ultimate combination for a kid then. 

Here's having an ice cream cheer! The soft serve wasn't much honestly, and taste wise, not overly sweet although it lacked the creaminess. Well, guess we can't complain for just 85 cents. Saving grace was the tasty cone that had this nice, sesame flavor to it.
