Floating markets are not a thing of the past. You must have heard about Thailand's iconic Damnoen Saduak, selling handmade souvenirs, fresh fruits and lip-smacking street food. Now, another video has surfaced on the internet showcasing an almost identical set-up. It features a vendor selling ice cream on a wooden boat in Kerala. The clip, shared by a Scotland-based travel vlogger on Instagram, showcases the vendor selling flavourful, pocket-friendly ice creams, leaving the vlogger both amused and delighted.

The video opens with the vlogger greeting the vendor from his houseboat. He then asks for an ice cream and the vendor presents him with a wide range of tempting flavours including pista, butterscotch, vanilla and chocolate. The vlogger chooses the pista-flavoured sweet delight. The price? Rs 50. He also offers an ice cream cone to his houseboat operator. The vlogger then goes on to unwrap his treat. The pista ice cream comes in a matka (earthen pot) that intrigues the vlogger.
Admiring the chunky texture, the vlogger takes a scrumptious bite. His reaction is priceless. “Wow. It is so creamy,” he admits, clearly enjoying his dessert. The man's final verdict? 10 out of 10! The side note read, “$0.60 ice cream in India.”
