This van is your typical
ice-cream van in the style of the traditional Mr. Whippy van. They offer a
range of soft serve ice cream, milkshakes, thick shakes, snow cones and an
assortment of drinks. They also sell bubble tea and for those feeling a little
more adventurous you can try the takoyaki (octopus balls). These are a ball
shaped Japanese snack made of a wheat flour-based batter typically filled with
either mince or diced octopus, tempura scraps, pickled ginger and green onion.
The van itself is very
colourful and attracts people towards it. However other than the takoyaki, the
van lacks anything else original and most people see it as just another soft
serve ice cream van.
Once again the only online
presence for this van is on Facebook. There is a lack of detail about the van
and what they offer. Considering the Facebook page claims the van opened on 1st
December 2009, a page was only created in March 2013. The last post at the time
of writing was from the 3rd of August. They fail to keep their
customer base up to date with the location of the van and time it will be
available. If this were to be fixed then people would be able to find with more
ease therefore gaining more business for the van. I have discovered that
self-promotion for these style food vans is very important in gaining a
following.
