The Yellow Ice Cream Uncle stationed outside Wisma Atria represents a cherished piece of Singapore's street food heritage. Operating from a distinctive bright yellow cart and umbrella on Orchard Road, this traditional ice cream vendor has become an iconic fixture along one of Singapore's busiest shopping streets.

The 82-year-old vendor offers the quintessentially Singaporean ice cream sandwich experience, deftly chopping blocks of ice cream and wrapping them in rainbow bread or sandwiching them between crispy wafer biscuits. Each creation is slipped into a plastic bag for easy takeaway, priced at an affordable .50. Classic flavours include durian, raspberry ripple, chocolate chip, and other nostalgic options that have delighted locals for generations.

These traditional ice cream vendors hold special cultural significance in Singapore. Street hawking has been strictly regulated since 1994, when the Singapore Food Agency conducted a one-time licensing exercise with no new permits issued thereafter. Today, only 13 such vendors remain licensed to sell on public land, with approximately seven operating along Orchard Road.

Popular with both locals seeking a taste of nostalgia and tourists experiencing an authentic slice of Singapore street food culture, the Yellow Ice Cream Uncle at Wisma Atria continues this beloved tradition despite the challenges of working under Singapore's tropical sun and rain.
