FIN: Ingman Ice Cream Kiosk

A scoop of something quintessentially Finnish!

Pardon me for not being as active in updating my food blog these days as I've been quite busy recently, not to mention that I was sick for a few days. I've also been trying to churn out more posts to catch up on my travel blog. Anyway, let's take a look at two flavours of Ingman ice cream from a kiosk at Kauppatori (lit. Market Square) in Helsinki, Finland.


Care to make a guess of the two flavours that I had before scrolling down for the answer?


Double Scoop Ice Cream €5.50 (~S$8.65)
Salmiakki - Taste: 8/10
Kladdkaka - Taste: 8.5/10

Salmiakki is a kind of salty liquorice that's popular in Finland and other Nordic countries. While it's an acquired taste for sure, Ingman's rendition should be pretty acceptable to many people. What I had was certainly not too overpowering with a nice balance between the sweet and the salty. That aside, the kladdkaka (lit. mudcake) flavour was delectably velvety and rich without being too sweet. Pika's advice: Not a fan of cone? You can request for a cup instead.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 8/10

I shall try the sitruunainen - lakritsi (lit. lemon - liquorice) flavour next time.

Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns! The middle of this year saw me doing a long-haul flight in the Premium Economy Class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus 350-900 aircraft for the first time. In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.

Not wow-ed by its beef burgers though... Born in Germany, Hans im Glück (lit. Hans in Luck) is a burger chain named after a fairytale recorded by the Brothers Grimm. Known for its forest-inspired decor, the outlets create a cozy, rustic atmosphere. Here in Singapore, it's been rebranded as SERVUS German Burger Grill and it can be found at VivoCity.

Tasty beef lasagna by Brahim's Food Services, but no more... After so long, I finally managed to have a family trip again in December 2022 with Japan as the destination. Unfortunately, just like the last part of my Azerbaijan travel series, I've lost all photos during this trip, save for the ones that I managed to post to my Instagram feed. Let's take a look at what I had onboard Malaysia Airlines MH52 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Osaka, Japan.
