Stretchy ice cream places near me7/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Turns out the two of them did one better. It was to order-in their favorite frozen fix from the streets of Dubai, to think of how best to describe those flavors and then report back on the podcast. So we handed two folks in our team at Frying Pan Adventures the coolest assignment ever, no pun intended. ![]() But let’s be honest, ice cream doesn’t really need a season, but summer gives people more of a reason, more of that itch to go out and get a scoop. So, this episode is about three ice creams from the East that you’ve got to try, cause you better believe it, summer’s here. This podcast serves up the foods and stories that we at Frying Pan Adventures love sharing on our walking food tours through Old Dubai. Hey there! I am your host Arva Ahmed, and thanks for joining me on the show that’s inspired by flavors of the East. Not a fan of audio? Here’s the show transcript for you to read!Īrva: This show is brought to you by Dubai’s most gluttonous food tour company, Frying Pan Adventures, and you’re listening to Deep Fried. We compiled a special guidebook with the locations of all the places featured as well as a few additional spots thrown in for those who’re screaming for more ice cream. One of our most successful limited edition tours was, not surprisingly, an ice-creamathon featuring 6 delicious and unusual scoops across Dubai. While you can’t watch them make traditional ‘pounded’ booza at the shop, they do offer two flavours infused with sahlab-one with mastic (pine-like resin) and the other with ashta (clotted cream) and pistachios. The booza spot in JLT that Nahla referred to on the podcast was Bouzet Jeddo, a Beirut-born ice cream concept from the 1960’s that’s run by the grand daughters of the founding jeddo (grandfather). We also love the saffron bastani at Sadaf Iranian Sweets on Maktoum Road (0, google pin). Farooj Al Shami on Rigga Road in Deira (0, google pin) serves this ice cream (call before you go to make sure it’s in stock because the ice cream is not prepared on site but brought in from a different location). A similar ice cream called dondurma is made in Turkey and saffron-infused bastani in Iran (though far less stretchy). Sahlab helps to thicken the ice cream and gives it a unique stretchy ‘playdough’ quality once the ice cream maker theatrically pounds the mixture in a frozen cylinder. This stretchy ice cream is made using a base of milk, sugar and sahlab, which is a tuber of a type of orchid flower that grows in Turkey.
