What is an ice cream cart live station?
An ice cream cart live station is a traditional ice cream cart with umbrella, operated by a dedicated FunCo staff member at your event. The operator scoops or slices ice cream to order and serves guests in their choice of condiment throughout your event. No power is required — the cart uses cold storage to maintain ice cream at optimal serving temperature.
What is the difference between scooped and sliced ice cream?
Scooped ice cream is served Western-style — fresh scoops from tubs served in cones or cups. Three classic flavours are available. Sliced ice cream is the iconic Singapore ice cream uncle style — rectangular blocks sliced to order and served in wafer biscuits, rainbow bread, or cups. Eleven flavours are available. Sliced carries stronger local heritage resonance and broader flavour variety at a higher price point.
What flavours are available for scooped ice cream?
Three flavours: attap seed, chocolate, and sweet corn.
What flavours are available for sliced ice cream?
Eleven flavours: chocolate, chocolate chip, durian, raspberry ripple, peppermint chocolate chip, blueberry ripple, sweet corn, red bean, mango, yam, and vanilla.
What condiments are available for scooped ice cream?
Cone or cup.
What condiments are available for sliced ice cream?
Wafer biscuit, rainbow bread, or cup. Rainbow bread is the definitive Singapore ice cream uncle serving format — a guest favourite and strong social media moment.
Can guests choose their own condiment?
Yes — guests can choose their preferred condiment at the point of serving. The operator will have all available condiments ready at the cart.
Does the ice cream cart require power?
No — the cart uses cold storage and requires no electricity, making it one of the most portable and venue-flexible live food stations we offer.
Is the ice cream halal?
Halal-friendly options are available on request. Let us know your dietary requirements at the point of booking and we'll confirm halal-certified flavours for your event.
Can I offer both scooped and sliced at the same event?
Yes — contact us to discuss running both service options at the same event. This works well for larger events where you want to offer both the classic Western cone experience and the authentic Singapore sliced ice cream uncle experience.
Is the durian flavour made with real durian?
Yes — the durian sliced ice cream is made with real Singaporean durian for an authentic, bold flavour. A popular choice for heritage events, National Day celebrations, and events showcasing local food culture.
Can the cart be set up outdoors?
Yes — the umbrella/canopy is included and provides shade for both the operator and cart. For extended outdoor events in Singapore's heat, coordinate delivery timing carefully to ensure ice cream remains at optimal serving temperature.
How many guests can the cart serve?
Throughput depends on flavour selection, condiment choice, and serving speed. We advise on quantity planning at the point of booking based on your expected guest count and event duration.
How does the ice cream cart compare to prepacked ice cream?
The ice cream cart delivers the authentic live ice cream uncle experience with full heritage presentation. Prepacked ice cream is individually sealed and self-serve — better for high-footfall giveaway setups. Many clients use both at the same event.
How far in advance should I book?
Book at least 7 working days in advance. Peak seasons — National Day, school carnivals, year-end D&Ds, and CNY — fill up quickly. Two to three weeks earlier is safer.
How long can I rent the live station for?
We offer flexible rental durations — hourly packages and full-day event setups are both available. Contact us with your event timeline for a tailored quote.
Can I brand the cart with my company logo?
Cart signage and branding options may be available as an add-on. Contact us at booking to discuss branding options for your event.
Do you deliver across Singapore?
Yes, FunCo delivers islandwide across Singapore including Sentosa, Tuas, Changi, and Jurong Island. Delivery charges may vary depending on your venue and time slot.
Do you price match with other vendors?
Yes. FunCo offers price matching across our event rental services. Share a quote from another Singapore vendor and we'll match it where possible.
