Falooda - a memory

In the good old days there were not many shops or Malls close to where we lived.
Shopping meant travelling to places where there were shops (not Malls) We did this on weekends.
After shopping we would visit a restaurant and spend some time there relishing Falooda that you see in the photo.
Falooda is a combination of ice cream, syrup, milk, jelly, sweet basil seeds. There were both straws and spoons provided.
How was your off line shopping in the good old days - I suppose there was no online shopping then.

In the good old days in Italy we had no Malls and no large grocery stores. I loved those small stores where the owners served the clients. Mom used to go out every day buying what she needed to cook for the day. On Sunday we always went out to have lunch at a restaurant after the Mass.

We have a mall, but it's not like it used to be. We also have a few strip malls too.

There were no malls here in the old days too. But there was a wet market and many small shops near my residence. Is Falooda quite sweet?

You eat the ice cream with the spoon and then you stir the rest of the ingredients and use the straw

@allknowing ice cream can also stirred together, so the taste I think is better...
