Ice cream is like balm on wounds in the heated seasons. Go to any store and there are freezers provided by various ice cream companies full of cups,tubs,boxes,cones and ice lollies. Your ears prick up on hearing ice cream sellers on tricycles, and the ice cream parlors offering varieties of flavors are another blessing to be thankful for in that weather.
And which ice cream lover isn't familiar with Baloch Ice Cream ? Mohammad Hanif, the manager of our Bohri Bazaar outlet, laughs and shakes his head when asked why on earth the place is called "Baloch" ? "Well, it is the owner's surname. He hails from that province and since there isn't this big of a market for ice cream there, he runs his business here," he explains.
"Balochistan is a dry place with few pastures, so there are not many animals grazing there and hence there is a shortage of dairy milk. Therefore, the milk from which we prepare ice-cream is also from Karachi," says Shaukat Ali, works at our shop.
The manager of that branch adds: "It's home-made ice-cream.It tastes great. Earlier, we only had four to five flavors - Vanilla,Pineapple,Strawberry and Pistachio - while Mango was seasonal. But now we have n explosion of flavors, Sapodilla (Cheeku), Chocolate, you name it, to choose from. People also like our "surprise", where the choice of flavors and toppings is left to us. There is a vast choice of toppings too, from fresh fruit, dried fruit, falooda and jelly." A customer walks in asking for Pineapple ice cream. "I have been coming here for ice cream for 55 years now, since when i was a schoolboy and i never got a sore throat after having ice cream. I simply love it, especially in this weather," says Amir Ali the customer.
