These ice creams is from a restaurant called Mado which I visited in JEM at jurong east. The brown one is chocolate like usual, white is called "Sade" and the hot pink one is Framboise. The price was slightly higher compared to normal ice cream. However, it's not something you can have everyday as it would be a tad bit expensive if you adds up the total amount you spend on it.
But thinking back in the olden days where probably during my grandmother times, I doubt they would have such expensive ice cream for their little pleasures in life. Maybe they don't even have ice cream to begin with. Maybe it's just too expensive for them to afford and they find it worthless to spend their hard earn cash on it.
Now, people splurge on expensive food for the way it taste, it's popularity and even the way it looks. I'm guilty for all of the above. To me, it's more of like exploring new food. Being adventurous about it, but there's a cost to it.
People in the past most probably have the cheapest food they can find and don't really care how nice it taste or how nice it looks as long as it will fill up their tummy. People now would only go for food that taste nice. I guess we all are pampered to a certain extend regarding food.
