<\/p>\nChildhood memories without ice creams? How can that be? My earliest memories of ice cream revolves around two places – Michael’s Ice Creams and Sea Kings. While I was learning to drive, my grandfather used to tempt me with Sea Kings. I would drive along with him along the deserted, dusty lanes of Trichy and indulge in cutlets and ice cream.<\/p>\n
Peach Melbas, Cassatas, Rocky Road, Faloodas and more. Sea Kings menu was quite extensive. If I try hard enough, I can smell the place and see the counters and backless stainless steel stools. Another piece of my childhood.<\/p>\n
A treat to savour<\/p>\n
Cool explosion in the mouth<\/p>\n
Turn spoon for a lick<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That cone of goodness<\/p>\n
Pink tongue darting in and out<\/p>\n
Frozen ambrosia<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That round silver bowl<\/p>\n
Mounds of snow, coloured snow<\/p>\n
With cherry on top<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sticky and sweet hands<\/p>\n
The orange cone disappears<\/p>\n
And the tongue tingles<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rocky Road, Cassatta<\/p>\n
Vanilla clings to the air<\/p>\n
Falooda, Peach Melba<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Celebrations, dates<\/p>\n
Ice Cream always meant Sea Kings<\/p>\n
Heartaches, heart breaks too<\/p>\n
