For 60 years now, people in and around Bhimavaram, a busy town in West Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh, have been frequenting a place called Rama Ice Parlour.

Rama Ice Parlour is no ordinary place. Especially in today’s times, when stores die out in a matter of months, this place has been steadfast. Packed with customers at all times, everything cold is served with a warm smile here.

Ice creams aside, the specialties are badam milk and fruit juice and, not to forget, sugar-free vanilla and pista drinks. The place isn’t big, but has two compartments. The first one has a view of the traffic snarling while the other is cozy and cuts the traffic sounds dramatically, so that you can sip your favourite in a jiffy and then ask for ‘one more’, because, you simply can’t have one and be done.

But it's the all-time hit badam milk that takes the cake: a generous dose of neatly sliced almonds, shredded to perfection makes it a struggle for the badam milk to make its way through, but when it reaches your mouth, it's a party for your taste buds.

And they have a special badam milk too. What makes it "special"? A dollop of ice cream. You'll probably will want to have seconds of that too.
