Hot Ice cream



Last Wednesday went to an Indian restaurant with my husband and bro. The restaurant was newly opened by my bro's friend -Mr.S. It's a small place, but the service provided by them is appreciable. The food we ordered was really good, we enjoyed every bit of it.  As this is the first time we visited Mr. S’s restaurant, he offered us to taste a special Deep fried Ice cream (according to him it is rarely found in Indian restaurants). When we asked him about it, He said it would be a surprise!!. I was extremely excited because he said special_ _“Ice cream”. I was least bothered about the words “Deep Fried”.
Deep fried Ice cream, I never heard about it. (It might be a famous dessert, but I came to know about it on that day).  My husband was a bit uncertain about it, where as I imagined we would be served a scoop of chocolate ice cream garnished with caramel and chocolate syrup all over it. Ummm...mouth watering imagination, isn't it? But here comes the ice cream (shattering my imagination, just like ball shattering a window pane) which looks something like this.


Deep fried Ice cream is famous in Mexican restaurants. It is made by taking a scoop of ice cream frozen well below the temperature at which Ice cream is generally kept. A batter is made up of cinnamon, eggs and corn flakes powder. When the ice cream is dipped into the batter, it forms like a coating on it. Then it is deep fried in oil for 5 seconds. Uhh! I didn't know about the eggs then or else I would have not eaten it. The above picture looks far better than what we actually had.

Aahhh.... after eating the ice cream, our comments were like this 

Hubby:   “OMG!! The taste of biryani is gone!! Hmmm ....I had this one unnecessarily". (He could hardly conceal his disappointment).
Bro: "The Ice cream is not so good, but I liked the idea, Deep fried Ice cream. How could they get this idea? Isn't it a unique dessert" (It's because it is his friend’s restaurant he responded like this, if it was my friend’s restaurant I can imagine what his comments would have been). 
Mine: (before tasting it) “What is this?? It looks like Mysore bonda...I want Ice cream not bonda" :( (after tasting it) "yuckkkkk...yuckkk......"
   
I finished eating it in 15 secs, yes you got to have it quick or else the ice cream inside the coating will melt away. I don't like eating something in a rush, I wanted to relish what was eating but I had to. Mr. S was just behind us, he was eagerly waiting for our response (something like Wow!!, Delicious!!) on this so called Special ice cream. I guess he understood everything looking at our faded expressions (hope he will change his menu). As far as my opinion is concerned, most of the Indians wouldn't prefer something like this. We prefer having an ice cream which is cool rather than HOT.

In order to make me come out of this disastrous Ice cream experience, the very next day he brought me Chocolate Ice cream. (Actually he was bribing me for two reasons, Firstly for pacifying me from the disappointment and Secondly to calm me down from yelling at him).

S is for Sky Scraper

When ever I hear this word one thing comes in to my mind immediately is, the New York City. Apart from being my favorite place, this place has also added some beautiful memories in to my diary. I can never forget the Friday evenings I spent in that city. Sometimes with my friends (most of the time by myself) we used to walk down the street just like that. Have fun talking on the roads, looking at the people from different nations, eating food what not?  One Penn Plaza  I used to work at  Manhattan  (heart of the city) in One Penn plaza. It is 54 storied building,  shares the same street with Empire state building.  It was fun working in a desi company, but surrounded mostly by Mexicans. They are very friendly people though, very sweet and believe me most of the girls are damn gorgeous.  Macys was adjacent to my work place, I used to get in that tall 9 storied building and spend some hours walking around the displays. I have bought many gifts for my parents and my husband (then m

My Garden

Hi Frenz,      Gardening has always been one of my hobbies, though I never mentioned it to my frenz. I always like flowers on the plant than plucked and made in to garland. I usually like spending some time in garden while I'm really stressed out, it's a great relaxation therapy. Presently I stay in an apartment which has a small  balcony. Luckily there is enough space to place few pots and I planted plants in them. I feel so happy when flowers bloom in my garden. I take snaps and share it with my frenz and family members. Today I thought of sharing them with all my Blog frenz. Rose : This is the first plant I bought for my garden. This is the only flower it bloomed to that plant. It died after  1 month, as I was away from home for long time. My husband couldn't take care of it well (I don't blame him for that though) Button Rose : This is one of my favorite plants. It was presented to me by my mom. She actually bought this for her garden, but again felt it'

Thursday Challenge - 7

Brown is the theme of this week's  Thursday Challenge . Initially I thought of uploading Coffee cup snap, in the mean this snap popped from no where in my folders. Then I changed my thought and wanted to upload this pic. The three cups with chocolate sauce are of different flavors (though they look like same flavored one). Now guess which one was my cup. Cheers, Vrinda.
