Hunting karadies here we come - I

Food. One good thing that is happening in every creatures life. Eating has always been my greatest interest of all time. So i just decided to start a series of blogs on various places at Chennai where i have hunted for food, drinks etc....Here goes the First one

Fruit Shop on Greams Road is a favorite place of mine. Whenever i think about fruits and juices i cannot forbid myself from visiting this place.....i think about them almost everyday :)

The ambiance is always great. The drinks are always accompanied by some music in the background. People here are always happy to help you out with the music of your taste. Name it rock, blues, jazz...they have wide a range of collection just to make sure u enjoy your drink.

You don't get all the fruits over here. But u get to taste a good quality juice of the available fruits. Mango, apple, banana, watermelon, grapes, lime, sweet lime, orange, pineapple, strawberry, peach, mulberry are the more common ones. The fruit juices are awesome. They are really fresh and has little water added to it. U can even ask them not to add sugar if u are serious about the original taste of the fruit or very conscious about the calorie intake :). Water melon(30) juice is a favorite of mine. U cannot get a better taste that is as delicious as u eat a watermelon and rich in color. Romancing the apple(65) is again another favorite of mine.

When it comes to milkshakes, u cannot separate something as the best from the lot. Each is unique for its taste. The one that has always kept me glued to it, is the Mulberry Banana smoothie(75). The mulberries floating over the juice and a bit of honey added makes u yearn for more....Sheik shake(30), few call it as s-e-e-k shake, while others call it as s-h-a-k-e shake. I prefer to call it as Dates milkshake(30). Its really awesome.

When ever i don't get to eat a banana, and if i badly need one, I tend to have Banana milkshake(35) over here. Its great. These people have different flavours of banana and a mix of banana + mango/strawberry smoothies apart from the mulberry flavour. These are really great to drink...

Now for the worst part or for the people who wish to experiment with various combination of fruits, mint etc. Whenever u see something exotic on the menu card, u can be sure, its gonna contain either mint/ginger or both. The menu also sports a India Cocktail which is a combination of 6 fruits. I have heard many people always willing to take this one...but its the last thing i will like to have. The menu also sports a weird one...guess what, tomato juice mom's recipe or something is its name. Beware before u try this.
