Menchie's - HYD

It's summer time. It's not my favourite season. It's so hot and blistering! Sigh! These are the times for some sun block, hats, Rasna and of course, ICE CREAM! In the Hyderabad heat, the sweet, cold milk going down your parched throat is life-saving! But ice cream comes with the guilt of calories, for those of us who count them, that is. Thick, creamy milk with sugar and flavour! So many calories!

Though it's been around globally for a while now, Frozen Yogurt, lovingly known as FroYo, is a relatively new phenomenon in Hyderabad. A few years ago, when FroYo first came to the market there weren't many takers. Even now FroYo is probably is not as popular as ice cream. But if you count calories and want a low fat dessert, choose FroYo! It's creamy, sweet and has the health benefits of yogurt.

FroYo is huge in California. Some of the most popular FroYo brands started there and Menchie's is not different. What I love about Menchie's other than the almost 10-14 flavours of FroYo they serve is the self-serve concept. You need to go there to know it. Making your own almost healthy sundae with various flavours and all the various toppings they offer is fun and satisfying.

My favourite and a regular flavour of Menchie's is the chocolate cake flavour. They change their flavours every week and always have a fruit based sorbet (water-based ice dessert) in case you are not in the mood for diary. If they are reading this, I am waiting for the tart flavour which is my ultimate favourite! You can drizzle your sundae with their popular caramel sauce or chocolate sauce and be in dessert heaven.

What is more amazing is that you pay for how much FroYo you want to eat. Priced at Re.1/gram, it depends how much of the cold dessert you are craving. So visit Menchie's for soothing the parched throat and have fun making your own sundae!
