Kwality Ice Cream, Medford, NJ

   
6/14/15 UPDATE - I have not gone to the door and knocked, but it appears that Kwality Ice Cream has closed.  The parking lot is always empty, and the phone number has been assigned to someone else.  The Facebook page has been taken down.


     I love unexpected surprises.  I'm not talking about surprise parties or let's-go-out-to dinner-you-shouldn't-cook-tonight surprises.  I mean delights you wouldn't have expected to discover in a million years - right there under your nose.  I was on the way home from ordering a new screen at Dubell Lumber when I noticed the ice cream shop on Rt. 541 had changed hands.  It was 4:00 p.m., and I had had a busy day.  One scoop wouldn't ruin my appetite for supper (and hopefully wouldn't jack up my cholesterol).  I pulled in to Kwality Ice Cream.  Suddenly it was goodbye chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry and hello 'Indian Kick."
     Yes, Indian Kick is an ice cream flavor.  Kwality Ice Cream makes ethnic ice cream catering to the Asian Indian population.  Besides cones and cups, they sell ice cream cakes and sugar free ice cream.  There are also specialty products -

     Kulfi - Indian ice cream that is denser and creamier than Western ice cream.
     Cassata - Layers of different flavors of ice cream formed in a brick shape that might also include some liqueur soaked sponge cake.  The Italians also serve this treat.
     Falooda - A concoction containing ice cream, rose syrup, basil seeds, jelly pieces, and tapioca pearls.

Some of the flavors were -

     Mango
     Pistachio
     Ferrero Rocher
     Blueberry Cheesecake
     Apple Custard
     English Toffee

And Indian Kick.  It tastes like Chai Tea - only better.
     The owner was a friendly guy who couldn't offer enough samples of the exotic flavors.  Check out their main website:
