Have you ever noticed how your eyes light up when you notice the candy floss guy standing at the corner, reminding you of the days gone by when as a kid, you would pester your mother to buy you one? And now, when you don’t need permission, you never end up buying it! Well, food is a lot about making connections and our city chefs know that. Tanvi Choudhary, the founder of Papacream, tells us, “We wanted to create something on our menu that people can connect with, and create an experience that takes you down memory lane.” On Children’s Day, we suggest you get a taste of your childhood on the platter with these dishes that take you straight to the good ol’ days...
Dish: Bombay Ice Cream Sandwich

Dish: Jim Jam Ice Cream Sandwich and Hot Chocolate Ice Cream Float
At: Papacream
Description: Get a bite of childhood with the Jim Jam Ice Cream Sandwich, which is not only sandwiched between the biscuits, but the ice cream itself is Jim-Jam flavoured.
