Faluda/Falooda.. how ever you spell
it/say it.. those you have had this drink know what it is! A perfect
summer beverage; so refreshing and filling. And not to mention how
pretty it is!!! :O There's something so pretty about those casa casa
seeds (basil seeds) floating on top of a beautiful sea of pink and
hints of glistening green from the jelly. It just cheers me up and
takes me back to sunny Sri Lanka and the various drinks that were
whipped up at family functions.
So about two weeks ago I got hold of
the necessary ingredients needed for this drink; waiting for the
perfect opportunity to make it. Then one Sunday I decided to invite
my primary school best friend (such a sweetheart she is!!!) over for
a yummy Sinhalese lunch (the original plan was to go out shopping but
the scent of my mums cooking just tantalised her taste buds.. I
definitely had to invite her to try our food instead! :D) And of
course this drink came to mind; and she truly deserved
it! The funny part was that she too
already knew about the drink (because in Mauritius they make it as
well! And they call it 'alouda' :O
So whilst sipping this refreshing drink out in sunshine; we refreshed on good times and our plans for the future (and planning a possible trip to Mauritius in the near future!) :D
(I love you so much sis!! Can't wait to taste the lovely dishes Mauritius has to offer! )
