Melon Medley Straw

     I introduced The Yellow Straw on my blog last year as THE place to head to for fresh and amazing juice combinations in Kolkata. When I was invited back to taste their new launches this year I kid you not I was stoked. After having my taste buds blown away by the Chilly Pataka last year I really was looking forward to what unique combination they had up their sleeves this time around. And after the horrible heat the city was facing back then I really needed something cooling and refreshing. So the first thing that I had after getting in was the Melon Medley Straw, which was a blend of watermelon and musk melon, and it was just what I needed. They have introduced 13 new items in the their juice, shakes and dessert sections combined. Plus they provide home delivery too now as they have partnered with Swiggy.

The Yellow Straw Kolkata

     When I was doing my MBA in Poona, it was a part of our evening routine to head on down to the juice center near our hostel and chill with our glasses of juice along with fruit salad after a long hot day. Poona was damn hot during those months and the only thing that bought a semblance of relief was either hiding in the computer room pretending to work on the terminals (even though we had our laptops all the time with us) so that we got to stay in an air-conditioned room for a bit or guzzling down glasses of cold juice to cool ourselves. You get the most awesome fruits in that city and it was the first place where I saw the fig fruit :) Since I came back to Kolkata that little activity has long become a thing of the past as I didn't find a good juice place close to house and out here (at least back then) juice house would have very limited options aka orange, pineapple, apple and grapes.
