Ice cream is clearly not 'authentically Thai' in the sense that it has been served for hundreds of years (Thailand is a tropical country and without modern refrigerators it is very difficult to make ice cream), but it is now widely available and very popular. However two things are uniquely Thai: firstly it isn't made with animal milk, but with coconut milk, and secondly it is not usually flavored with fruit, but rather with savories such as corn, sweet potato, or herbs.

In order to get the correct effect in the ginger it is 'distressed' a little first. We do this by rolling it through a heavy roller designed to tenderize dried squid. However you should be able to get a similar effect with a pasta roller or even a rolling pin. The slices should be of uniform thickness so I suggest a sharp kitchen slicer rather than a hand held knife.
For restaurant presentation the slices of ginger are cut to uniform pretty shapes using small confectioners' biscuit cutters, or the type used to cut out cake decorations.
