therein lies the beauty of avocados

after numerous blazing hot days it finally rained a few days back, the thunder and lightning composing a melody with the splashing of water puddles on the streets and tinkerinf of rain drops on the roof and glass windows. a melody so unique and natural it takes a moment of calmness to listen and appreciate.

while the sunny tropical days are here to stay, the season is about to change in other places of the world. as i was reading the traveler's lunchbox, a wonderful blog about living in cities the author has been to while working and writing up articles, i chance upon a recipe so delightful that it will make a hot sticky day refreshingly sweet.

the sound of someone saying avocado milkshake brings back memories of studying at sentosa when my friends will be rushing to grab a takeway cup of this used in beauty product milkshake and all of them were going ohhhh ahhhh about it. paying it compliments and now that we no longer take that bus from seah im hawker center, everyone is telling me how they missed it.

this simple avocado milkshake is one beverage not to be taken lightly. well the thought of avocado in a milkshake doesnt really give a delicious impression that makes you wanna grab a glass immediately. i was sceptical initially, never wanting to try it at the hawker center. but as life is full of surprises, those who tried will be bound to crave for more.

personally i have tried avocado, the most unappetising way; mashed up with lemon juice and sugar in an almost paste like texture. but give me the fruit in milkshake context i will happily sip it on a blazing afternoon with a teaspoon of rum and coffee stirred in.
