SLC31-W2" // "The Sweet Treats Gastronomic Route" - Ice Cream Shop

Hello friends, I hope you are all well. For the second week of the Steemit Challenge contest, I will be sharing my experience and a review of my visit to a Ice-cream Store. I would like to thank the organizers of this challenge, and without further delay, I am starting my participation.

A visit to the Ice-cream store- Shawpno

I visited the ice cream section of Shwapno Super Shop, where delicious ice creams of various flavors and textures are available. Although it is not a specific ice cream shop, but they have lots of variety of ice creams from different companies there, which are usually not found in other local ice-cream shops.

This branch of Shwapno is located in Bepari Para of the Agrabad Commercial Area. Since it is a supermarket, customers come here to buy other products along with ice cream. The shop remains open every day of the week from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Being in a commercial area, the branch I visited is one of their flagship stores.

For the purpose challenge contest, I have visited several branches of Shwapno and written about them on my blog. I visited this Agrabad branch for the first time, and it looked just like all the other branches. Everything, starting from the interior, was beautifully decorated.

What I like most is that they have categorized all their products into specific sections, which helps customers easily find their favorite items. In today's post, I will only share my thoughts about their ice cream section.

Since ice cream is kept in the fridge, I saw several large deep freezers in the ice cream section at Shwapno. All the freezers were in one place, and with the sliding tops, customers can easily choose and buy their favorite ice creams.

There were separate freezers for every brand of ice cream available. Polar, Igloo, Savoy—all these brands had their various flavors and textures of ice cream in their respective freezers, and anyone could take them out as they liked.

The prices of ice cream vary from company to company. Especially, the prices of Polar ice creams are a bit higher. However, all brands have some similar flavors such as chocobar, cone, cup, malai, and crunchy-type variants. In terms of price, there is a slight variation depending on the brand.

Below, I am mentioning the prices of some ice creams:

Crunchy Variant60 BDT8.28 STEEM
500ml Box (Vanilla)180 BDT24.83 STEEM
1 Litre Box (Chocolate/Strawberry)320 BDT44.14 STEEM

Apart from ice cream, there were several other products in the ice cream section. Frozen items such as chicken nuggets, chicken samosas, wontons, singara, liquid milk, chicken fry, and various other frozen items are kept targeting the customers of the ice cream section. All frozen items are safely stored inside freezers. Shwapno's own branded frozen items are also available here.

Here, customers can make digital payments via bKash, Nagad, and bank cards. Given the hot weather prevailing during the day, ice cream is everyone's first choice, and due to the variety of textures and options, I think Shwapno is the most accessible ice cream destination for everyone nearby. Although there is no facility to sit and enjoy ice cream there, the availability of all these varieties is a big advantage.


✓ Tell us what you thought of the ice cream shop. Did they have enough options available? Would you give them a 5-star rating,


Although this is not just an ice cream-centric shop, they have kept a wide variety of ice cream brands. Most of the ice creams we find in exclusive ice cream parlors are available here, which is a good thing. However, they fall behind in the sense that there is no facility to sit and eat, nor is there a system to order scoop ice cream like in specific ice cream shops. So, considering all these I could not give the 5 stars.

✓ What is your favorite ice cream flavor?


I personally prefer chocolate flavor ice cream. There is a chocobar category of ice cream that has a slightly hard chocolate coating on the outside and soft chocolate inside, which I find very delicious. Besides that, vanilla flavor is something almost everyone likes, and I am no exception. However, I don't eat ice cream all the time as it can be harmful to health if consumed in excess.


✓ When ordering your ice cream, do you prefer to enjoy it in a crispy cone or do you feel more comfortable ordering it in a small cup?


When I order ice cream, I prefer to order a crispy cone. It is rare to find someone who doesn't like this variety of ice cream. Almost all ice cream companies promote this variety under different names. Specifically, the crispy wafer on the outside of the ice cream is very delicious, and the chocolate at the very bottom is also very tasty.
