A bizarre thing

Lately I am very obsessed with a kind of Matcha ice-cream sold by a milk tea shop nearby home. It is a double-layer kind. it has a Matcha ice-cream layer on the top and milk one at the bottom. Usually, I would order a takeout, and because of that, the ice-cream is always in a half-melt state. Well not that melt but it is starting to melt. Then I noticed a bizarre thing. The ice-cream always melts from bottom, which I thought should start from the top. Like, I heard the hot air would go up, so shouldn't the ice-cream melts from where the hot air goes?


最近我非常喜欢家旁边一家奶茶店卖的抹茶冰淇淋。它是双层的,顶上是抹茶冰淇淋,下面是牛奶的。通常我会点外卖,也因为这,冰淇淋总是处在一个半融化的状态。也没有融得那么化吧,但确实在融了。然后我就注意到一个奇怪的事,冰淇淋总是从底部先化,我还以为是从顶部开始化呢。就比如说,我听说热空气会往上走,那这冰淇淋不也该从热空气在的地方开始化吗?

A bizarre thing

{Lately I have been | These days I am} very obsessed with a kind of Mmatcha ice-cream sold by a milk tea shop nearby home.

It is a double-layer kind.

iIt has a Mmatcha ice-cream layer on the top and milk one aton the bottom.

Is the milk layer frozen or liquid? If it’s liquid, then we would call this dessert an ice cream “float.”

Usually, I would order it {as a takeout | to go}, and because of that, the ice-cream is always in a half-melted state.

Well not that melted but it is starting to melt.

Then II’ve noticed a bizarre thing.

“Then I noticed” doesn’t make sense because, up to this point, you’ve been describing something you do frequently, not a specific occurrence.

The ice-cream always melts from the bottom, whichbut I thought the melting should start from the top.

Like, I heard theat hot air would go up, so shouldn't the ice-cream melts from where the hot air goes?

Feedback

If the milk below the ice cream is in liquid form, then it is likely warmer than the ice cream. This warmth would melt the ice cream.

Thank you for your correction, and I learn correction form from it! The milk layer is also ice cream. The more milk the faster it melts, I guess.
And I wonder why is the second to last paragraph shouldn't use "which"? Is it because the "which" links to "bottom" instead of "melt"?

I mean instead of the former half-sentence.

“Which I thought should start from the top” refers to the melting (the thing which I thought should start from the top is the melting of the ice cream), but “melting” doesn’t actually appear in the first half of the sentence, so “which” doesn’t work there.

I also learned from your writing:
“没有融得那么化”
I love this expression!

I see, and glad to be of help!

@Ciernet, one explanation I read is that the bottom layer touches a surface of something (a bowl, cup, container) that is warmer than the ice-cream, so that surface transfers the warmth from the surrounding air to the bottom layer.

@Liag, that also makes sense.

Lately I amhave become very obsessed with a kind of Mmatcha ice-cream sold by a milk tea shop nearb my home.

It is a double-layered kind.,

wit hash a Mmatcha ice-cream layer on the top and a milk one at the bottom.

I joined these 2 sentences together to improve the flow of the paragraph.

Usually, I would order a takeout, and because of that, the ice-cream is always in a half-melted state.

Well not that has melted, but it ihas startinged to melt.

Then I noticed a bizarre thing.

Feedback

Excellent writing. And I agree that sounds strange - perhaps your hand is warming the bottom, or the cup is warmer than the surrounding air? You might have to consult a scientist or someone who knows about physics to get to the bottom of this!

Thank you! I thought about it again and decided to let it go. It's too complex to me I think.

I think you meant to put "Well not that much has melted"
