Chilli Tamarind Popsicles Anyone? Picole Healthy Ice Pops!
Think of the tangyness and sweetness of tamarind. Now think of that sweet and spicy candy from Thailand (if you havn’t tried, then you must! i love those). Now make it cold and put it on a popsicle stick.

What do you have? Chilli Tamarind Popsicles by Picole Healthy Ice Pops!
I’m trying to recall the last time I tried a dish which I found, innovative, interesting, and at the same made me giddy. I believe, its been a while since that last time…until today. Interesting isn’t it? Chilli Tamarind Popsicles.
I found this today (17 Oct 2010 Sunday) at the Legazpi Park Sunday Market. While helping my friend Chiara sell for the Ritual stall (Ritual sells organic stuff… that’s for another blog post), I began to crave for something sweet. The 2 year old daughter, Luisa ,of Dagny from the neighboring stall just bought herself a watermelon (or was that strawberry?) popsicle and was happily eating away. It looked really delicious, especially considering the sweltering heat we were immersed in. I wanted some. Dagny suggested that I try the Chilli Tamarind Popsicle.
It was a darn good suggestion. I loved the tangy tamarind flavor (my favorites dishes are mostly tamarind based!), and I love chilli. The coldness of popsicle mixed with the spiciness of the chilli contrast but at the same time, go really well together.
If you’re a big fan of cold desserts and you’re little adventurous, this is an out-of-the-box treat you should try out.

Legazpi is really a great place for extra special food that will surely make you wonder if it taste good but lo and behold it will get you hooked. I tried a different kind of spaghetti there, but unlike the other spaghetti with the red sauce, the sauce is their native delicacy “laing” and it was really delicious. (^_^) will surely eat that again when i go back to legazpi.
Really? ooh, I’ll look for that. There were a lot of other finds there as well, food and non food items. I’m going to spend more time trying things out.

Hi Lee Ann,
No, I’m sorry. The recipe is owned by Picole Ice Pops. I’d make it myself if I could.
