vagabond48 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 It could very easily get a lot more boring but I need a little more time to think of something. Might have to start a thread about socks. What do you think? cheap flip flops ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustoff Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Okay, you clowns need to get serious about the subject matter or be banned from ice cream parlors forever! We are talking about ICE CREAM here, not slightly flavored, cold and mushy milk! Da wife just called and she has found the same Homemade Italian Ice Cream that we experienced at Rim Ping Mae Jo, right here in our own Airport Plaza! She says they have even more flavors, including Lichee and a couple of others. Apparently not right at Topps but back in a bit, "where you go up" (I am assuming near the escalators). Stay tuned for breaking news as it happens... (edited to clean up my language) Edited September 8, 2008 by Dustoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the one i was talkin about! The best ice-cream came from my own family of course . Father side (Italian) use to have a small ice-cream factory, making traditionalproperice cream. Used to love going there as a kid, free yummy ice cream Oyster cone! They sold it on tho..guess the offer was too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I don't consider myself a cheap-skate, but, to me, Ben and Jerrys and HaganDaz are just too expensive for the taste. Baskin Robbins is almost just as good for about 1/2 the price and I think that Swensons is OK for the price as well. My favorite ice cream in Thailand is the bakery on the steps in front of the Landmark hotel on Sukumvit in Bangkok. It is homemade by the hotel chef and about 50 baht per scoop - like Baskin Robbins - but really fresh and tasty. Gelato can be great, but a lot of times it isn't and I have not stumbled across any in Chiang Mai that were worth the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTB Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 A couple months back got a few tubs of Ben & Jerrys Cherry Garcia from Lotus Tesco on the super highway. Not sure if its still stocked or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpdjohn Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Just came back from Rimping and there was a guy with a little cart selling local type ice cream. Had quite the crowd around him. Woman said it's the best..didn't get to try it though. Boycott Ben & Jerry's. Support of cop killers is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Double Rainbow was the trendy one in San Francisco 30 years ago. I remember laughing at a friend who told me that the ice cream in Burlington, Vermont was better. She was talking about the first Ben and Jerry's shop!

That said, I don't eat any of them anymore as I suspect it's a good source of melamine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenside Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Any support here for a serious ice cream festival? Not the kind of half hearted thing that Airport Plaza runs from time to time but some sort of ice cream buffet with all the ice cream makers and vendors from the area. It would be held in some kind of high(ish) profile venue and give visitors the chance to really taste lots and lots of different kinds of the Cold Stuff. I've been considering this for quite a while - what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapguy Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 There is a new ice cream manufacturer and small shop on Sirimangkalajan Soi 5 next to Santi's music school. The ice cream is FANTASTIC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
