Scoopp in Bangkok’s Talad Noi neighborhood has all the predictable ice cream flavors. That is not why you are here. You are here for the yakult jelly, white malt, green tea latte, cream soda milk, sweet corn (delicious), melon, popcorn cheese, soymilk and black sesame (hell yes), and Thai milk tea flavors. The scoops are more ice than cream, which makes it appealing in the unrelenting death swelter the Thais call “weather.” And hey, at 30 baht ($0.86 USD) a scoop, you can afford to experiment. (Just don’t mess with a flavor called “honey milk”—it tastes like shampoo.) Small waffle cones and baskets cost 10 baht ($0.29), large cones 15 baht ($0.42). Have at!
