In Birmingham, there are many Asian fast food shops and sweet centres selling falooda.

Falooda is a sweet mixture of noodles, sour cream, and fruit/flower syrup. It can be a drink or something more solid than drink dipending on how liquid/solid the cream is and how much noodle there is.

I have seen it for a long time now, but never had chance to try... until last Saturday. I decided buy one cup from a Pakistani fast food shop.



When I ordered a cup, the guy at the counter put noodles, cream, basil seeds, and red syrup in a plastic cup, then he mixed them together with a spoon. Then he closed the cup with a cover and put a thick straw.

£2 for that.




Now taste. It was pretty particular because of the strange cream. It was something between sour cream and fresh cheese. Noodles were not as smooth as I would have liked. And I would have preferred it cold of chilled, but it was only lukewarm.

I finished about 90% of it, and at this point I felt slightly ill because of saturation.

I don't know if I liked it or not. It wasn't traumatic, but next time I will try from another shop.
