Faloda
The best thing about summer is KDD Silver ice cream.
The second best thing about summer is Faloda sorbet.
The third best thing about summer is Sunkist orange drink.
Faloda, also spelt Faloodeh or Faludeh and is a Persian sorbet made of thin frozen noodles. Its pretty strange but tastes amazing. Really refreshing plus you can add either lemon or rose water to it for extra flavor.
The place I get my Faloda from is located in Kuwait City, opposite Al Rayya mall and under the Baba Taher Iranian restaurant. I think the place that sells it is called Marafie. A small sized portion will set you back 250fils which is the same cost as regular ice cream.
According to Wikipedia, Faloda is one of the earliest forms of frozen desserts, existing as early as 400 BCE.

We’ve got another Persian style frozen dessert called “Yakh Dar Behesht” which means “Ice in Heaven”, try it out, if you liked Faludeh then you’d love this one too. Cheers ;)

I made sure I had it whenever I went to India, or to a few pakistani restaurants in Kuwait.

According to that, it is also a South Asian treat.
