Oriental Fruit Festival

Oriental Fruit Festival will start from 15 June 2012 and will continue
till 4 July 2012. Popular Kolkata eatery
'The Wall' launched the festival on 13 June in Kolkata with a few
special dessert items. The fruits from the Orient have
always been known extremely popular across the world not only for
their exquisite taste, but also for their healthy medicinal
properties. The Asian summer is humid and makes us lose a lot of water

at this time since fruits help us to gain the lost water in our body
and rejuvenates our mind and soul.
The desserts which will be available include 'Almond and Assorted
Fruit Float', 'Coconut Sorbet with Mango Sauce', Jellied Mango
Pudding' and 'Mango and Lime Fool'. Few of these are oriental
delicacies from China and Malyasia.
