KOLKATA'S BEST RABDI ICE CREAM | MUST TRY | ft. FOODBOOK #icecreamvlog #rabdiicecream

DIPS & TOPPINGS – RABDI ICE CREAM

Well interesting isn’t it, Rabdi and Ice-cream together in a nutshell!

As we know, Rabdi was created in Mathura and perfected in Varanasi, the art of rabdi travelled east and today one village of Bengal survives by making it. A lot of varieties are made from this rich authentic sweet dish. The origin of ice-cream also dated back to China in 618-97 AD, where King Tang of Shang had 94 ice men who prepared an ice-cream like food made with buffalo milk, flour and camphor.

Today, in this technologically and experimental era of living, a lot more of inventions are coming into forefront, with some tasting really exceptional. Rabdi –ice cream is one such experiment with bringing two famous desserts together as a whole!

It’s time to review one of the best and newly-experimented dessert- the Rabdi-ice-cream in the town of Kolkata.

We went for a review of this dessert at Dips & Toppings which is near the Bansdroni metro station (Masterda Surya Sen).

Our reviews will be broken down into five parts:

1. Ambiance: The ambiance was beautiful. So here is a point, Dips & Toppings have 2 outlets, one right at the location and the second one is within the outlet, with the infrastructure being in the lane. The colourful lights, music and most importantly the organised manner contributed to this factor largely also along with tasting their special made rabdi icecream.

We will mark the ambiance- 9/10.

2. Hospitality: Their politeness, courtesy, support and most importantly behaviour stands out the most. They explained every process and the ingredients to us, as a result we could show you the entire process of this delicacy-making right in the video. Therefore, we rate 10/10 for the hospitality services.

3. Taste: For people who are really confused as to what wouyld be the exact taste of theis dish, I mean which flavour would dominate the most? Well, then both the rabdi and the ice-cream stood out, since the ice-cream itself was of that very flavour bringing in the actual essence of rabdi, and then there was so much of garnishing with pistas, almonds and cashews which added to the colour on top, whipped cream was added to fill in those void spaces to add that creamy texture and most importantly there was the actual Mishti-dokaner doodher rabdi which was put on top with some milkmaid.

The taste was divine; all flavours of that rich creamy ice-cream had popped out while tasting it. The dry fruits added to the crunchiness which went perfectly in hand with it.

For this beautiful dish, we rate 9.5/ 10.

4. Hygiene: The most important factors which is to be highlighted is the availability of lifeboy hand sanitizers for the customers. For the first time, in these covid-19 affected world, this outlet is providing a branded sanitizer which adds to a great impression to its hygiene. Apart from it, everything was well-organised with proper wearing of masks and gloves as the protocol should be. The kitched and the ingredients were also well organised and highly clean.

We will rate 9.5/10 for the hygiene factor.

5. Cost-Effectiveness: For those 3 big scoops of rabdi flavoured ice-cream, dry fruits garnishing, whipped cream and some milkmaid, 220/ (inclusive of all taxes)- is completely worth it. One can’t finish this rabdi-ice cream all one.

For cost-effectiveness, we rate 9/10

So overall, we rate an average 9/10 for Rabdi Icecream at Dips & Toppings. We bet you’ll surely fall in love with it!

"BIGGIES BURGER N MORE" ( REVIEW NO. 1 )

Well, we all love Burgers, who doesn't.

It's time to review one of the best burger joints in the town of Kolkata.

"Biggies Burger" having lots of branches all over Kolkata from Russel Street, Jessore Road, Salt Lake till Behala.

We went for a review of the outlet which is located at Behala Tram Depot.

Our reviews will be broken down into five parts as follows: -

1.Ambiance 2.Hospitality 3.Taste 4.Hygiene 5. Cost-Effectiveness

1) AMBIANCE.

So, the foremost is the Ambiance, we didnn't like the outer ambiance, because it is located at a very cluttered area, though it is above the main road, but still the entrance remains undecorated. Speaking about the interior of the café, it's good. There is a vibe of a fast-food chain all around, doodling of different forms of loaves of bread gives a very healthy and exciting mood tilt, and a world map with the brand colours used in it is up to the mark.

However, the colors of chairs could have been better in terms of the interior colors used around, the dark brown chair colors give a bit back set in the mind.

All together we will mark Ambiance: - 15 out of 20

2) HOSPITALITY

One thing which we really like is the "SELF-SERVE" like KFC

At the time of ordering the explanation of each and every dish was very clear and understandable.

Politeness, courtesy, and behaviour are somethings that hold the integral from of attraction.

However, due to shortage of working staff, if there is more crowd then the staff gets a bit overwhelmed at times.

Overall, we can rate in Hospitality: - 16 out of 20

3) TASTE

Now, the ultimate answer of every food blogger, the taste.

The filling of the burgers was no doubt good, but yes other than the Jumbo Burger, if you want to try some other burger you need to have a side dish to really fill up your belly.

A lot of people might not know the difference between a frozen patty and a fresh patty, let me clear it out. First if you are up to a really good tasty burger, you should try Biggies Burger because the patty was fresh which nearly changes the taste towards the good side.

You will get a slightly Smokey aroma while you’re here , many don't like that but I personally like it a lot.

The lettuce leaf was not so fresh like the patty which decreased the taste a bit.

The proportion of sauce in the burger was not proper, we felt the sauce was a bit extra.

The bun was literally soft turning the burger to bite and chew properly.

The overall rating of Taste will be: - 17 out of 20

4) Hygiene: -

Hygiene was no doubt properly maintained as we went there before the pandemic so sanitization was not compulsory.

Apart from that, proper hand gloves, clean and clear.

We went into the kitchen and noticed everything very nice clean and clear.

The cafe interior was neat and had a beautiful smell of burgers.

Overall rating in hygiene will be: - 20 out of 20

5) Cost-Effectiveness: -

No doubt Biggies burger consisting of a huge number of varieties with different pricing slabs has become one of the pocket-friendly, however, some of the prices apart from the Burgers we felt were slightly higher than any other places in Kolkata.

Rating of Cost-Effectiveness is: - 14 out of 20

So according to us the overall rating keeping in mind the 5 Factors for Biggies Burger 'n' More is - 82 out of 100.

We have attached some of the pictures below, you can have a look for a better understanding.
