Melting Moments Ice Cream Parlour

Melting Moments Ice Cream Parlour is right by the NG Garden in Borivali West. Being near the park means we get a lot of noise from the playground in the evenings. We start the day by checking all the temperatures on the digital displays in the shop. If the freezers aren't cold enough, the whole day is ruined. The shop isn't very large, so we have to be organized with where we put the cones and the napkins. Borivali West can get very crowded on weekends, and we usually have a line out the door then. We don't have a big corporate team or anything like that. It’s just us and a couple of local boys who help with the serving. We spend a lot of time cleaning the floors because people bring in dirt from the garden path. The NG Garden area is mostly families, so we see the same kids growing up over the years. We keep the menu written on a chalkboard that we have to redo whenever it gets smudged by someone's sleeve. Sometimes we run out of the popular stuff and people get a bit annoyed, but we just tell them what we have left in the tubs. It’s a straightforward business. We don't spend money on fancy ads or anything. People just see the sign when they're out for a walk and stop in. That’s how we’ve always operated here. It’s a lot of scooping and cleaning. We close up once the garden lights go off.
