I first visited this shop at madipakkam in 1997 and I dont know if the shop still exist and it was first ice cream based shops I ever visited in Chennai. It was a small shop but they used to sell almost all types of Arun ice creams like Cone, stick, cup and ball types.
We usually used to have the Vanilla or Strawberry cup ice creams and they are still very famous and are being served at most of the Indian Functions like Marriages and birthday parties. Though today I dont eat Ice creams that much except the Magnum once in a while, But I still remember buying those Ball based Arun ice creams and they were really very fun. We first used to finish the ice cream inside the balls and then use to play the terrace cricket with it and it was a great fun with that.
Vanilla is still my favorite in arun ice creams. And this shop has facilities to sit and enjoy the ice! I visited here more than twice and especially with my dad.! But wat I hate with Arun Ice cream is - They melt pretty faster in the Chennai(madras) temperatures and also they cause Cold and throat pain(due to cold). But I have consumed magnum many times but never got attacked with cold!
Overall, This Arun ice cream shop at madipakkam is my childhood enjoyment. And those moments there r still unforgettable!
