The milk was sour but luckily I am not scarred for life. *phew*

And that would have been a shame coz I absolutely LOVE Falooda. For those who are not in the know, a Falooda is an Indian dessert (which everyone must try it once) made using sweet basil seeds, vermicelli, rose syrup, milk, and ice cream. It is very easy to make! So, since I have moved to a new place a year ago, we still have been exploring around. Well, as much as the pandemic has allowed us, of course! And I miss the food from my hometown. So much!!!!! Well not the food exactly but the taste. Yeah the taste I am not able to find in my new place..... as of yet. I am just back from one such quest for searching one of my favourite desserts ever. Google Maps was very helpful. We did find the place but they don't serve Falooda. They just "advertise" that they do. Freaking awesome, isn't it? Never mind that! So, we did find another place nearby and we (I and my second-in-command, hubby) thought to just buy one for taste testing at first. Because we have been continuously, without fail, have been disappointed since this past year when it comes to the taste we are looking for. That's not to say that the food here is not good. That is surely not the case. Their native food is awesome. BUT home food is HOME food. (I hope I am able to put it correctly.) Coming back to the point. We buy one for taste test and viola, we are disappointed again. The milk was in the process of souring. There was no vermicelli. The rose syrup was on vacation. BUT they did compensate the missing ingredients with sugar. Way much sugar! (I am glad we have a dentist appointment coming up this week!) Have you been on a quest for a particular food like this? What food made you disappointed? Image: Falooda. Source: Google
