Ice cream!

I can never forget it! I used to love going to Down Town Restaurant at LawGarden to enjoy the delicious Vadilal Choco cream candy! Me and my dad usedto have a competition on Sundays - Who would eat maximum Choco creams?

I remember having the Rs. 5 softies at YUMS! He used to take me to Natraj Cinema for the Dairy Den Softies. I loved litchi and chocolate softiesthere. It was only twice or thrice a year that we could have Dairy Den Softies as they were quite costly for us!

And now? All we amdavadis enjoy the luxury of Gelato's - Italian icecreamtoo. In Casa was the first ones to launch Gelato`s in Ahmedabad with outlets in Fun Republic, R World and now in Swati Restaurant, Law Garden. You can enjoy Gelato's at Amezo, Gulmahor Mall, Agashiye, E-scoops too I guess. Correct me if am wrong.

Agashiye has this amazing homemade ice cream menu. Rajwadu and Vishala too serve homemade ice cream I guess. I am told once there was a famous 'Derani Jethani no ice cream' at Navrangpura. They had a fight and they separated. Now there is a partition wall. On one side you get Derani no ice cream and on the other Jethani no! I have heard its in Chaitanya Society, near Lakhudi Talavadi, Navrangpura.

Amdavadis love kothi no ice cream and matla kulfi as much as they love the frozen desserts.Amdavad's total ice cream market is 70 crores!

Havmor, Amul, Vadilal, Baskin Robins face a tough competition from the local players like Shradhdhanand, Patel, Jaising, Asharfi, Janta coldcoco!!

I loved Ben N Jerry's ice cream and Cold Stone ice cream in the US. You know what? There is a gold ice cream too!! New York City's Serendipity 3 restaurant is known for its desserts,especially its $1000 Serendipity Golden Opulence Sundae. To dig into this costly treat, you must make a reservation 48 hours in advance. Its madewith Tahitian and Madagaskar Vanilla flavor and a 23- carat Gold edibleleaf!In Japan, you find Noodle's Ice cream too! Our Amdavad is no less!

I scream, you scream, we'd all scream if we had to eat any of the super-strange ice cream concoctions that we have nowadays in Amdavad. Ginger ice cream, Neem icecream, Variyali, Kotha, Gulkand ice cream, friedice cream, ice cream bhajjiya! We can have all the weird flavors in Amdavad now.

What are the weird ice creams that you have had so far? Where have you hadthe weirdest ice creams in Amdavad? Forget weird, as a foodie what wouldyou recommend to a fellow foodie as far as best ice cream is concerned?

Your comments will help a lot of ppl to explore the new taste andbeat the heat this summer.

I have an idea. Why cant we have 'Paani puri flavor ice cream'? If we canhave 'paobhaji khakra' or 'cholafali khakhra', why not have paobhaji flavoricecream? Phew!!!
