All Things Asian

Exploring Asia, One Word at a Time.

Back in the good old 70′s and 80′s, when having a refrigerator at home was a luxury, those who had refrigerators at home came up with a brilliant idea – sell ice. But since sucking on plain water wasn’t the most exciting thing to do, someone thought of putting syrup and sugar into the ice instead. Today, even with the advent of refrigerators in most homes, the humble ais krim potong remains a favorite with children and adult alike. Over the years, this humble dessert has evolved and there are many flavors of ais krim potong to choose from. Take your pick from creamed corn flavored ais krim potong to pandan flavored ones and even some made from the famous durian! The ais krim potong can be purchased from most ice cream vendors or from pasar malam (night market) vendors.
