Custom Made Scoop

There's a new ice cream shop in Chennai and they literally make your ice cream when you order it. No bins of the frozen stuff, only bases, mixes, flavors and a super-cold mixing table await.

After we order, the mixing process begins. Ladies lined up like cats waiting for milk.

One of our flavors (oreo) starts out looking like something drained from a truck crankcase. It's spread on the super-cold freezing surface. Then, the magic starts.

Presto, firmed up and looking like ice cream. Finally, a proud scoop.
