We chose the really simply named Strawberry (Rs 50) -- a little round white chocolate and strawberry layered ganache that sat pretty on a dark sponge base.u00a0</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="/imagedata/2012/jan/Strawberry-Pastry.jpg" border="5" align="" alt="" /><br /></div><div><i><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: red; ">Strawberry Pastry served at Brugge. pic/ Krunal Gosavi</span></i></div><div><br /></div><div>This may not take you to heaven on the first bite but eat some more and each spoonful is addictive. With a cream cheese consistency and a fresh fruit infusion, this is a simple-but-pretty dessert.</div><div><i><b><span style="color: red; ">At</span></b> Shop 5, Shankar Parvati Chambers, Dhole Patil Road.u00a0</i></div><div><i><span style="color: red; "><b>Call</b></span> 65002180</i></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b><span style="color: red; font-size: 10pt; ">Slurp away on Strawberry Ice-cream Sundaes at Natural's</span></b></div><div>Natural's has the freshest ice-cream ever.

If you have just bought that tiny dress, we suggest you kickstart that healthy diet right away.

It's a lovely blend of juicy fruit and chocolate milkshake spiked with sweetened whole strawberries out of a jam or a concentrate. They also serve Strawberry Sunshine Smoothie (Rs 99) which is a blend of berries, guava, banana and yoghurt. Try the Strawberry Storm (Rs 129) with strawberry, cranberry, raspberry and whey. Very berry healthy.u00a0</div><div><i><b><span style="color: red; ">At</span></b>u00a0Ground floor, Phoenix Market City, Nagar Road.</i></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b><span style="color: red; ">Try the Strawberry Cup at Bliss</span></b></div><div>Bliss was once a sprawling coffee shop that became the centre of youth life when Wanowrie was a young suburb. But things deteriorated and Bliss was forced to revamp. Today, it's much smaller but it has upped its desserts and bakes and is back on the neighbourhood hang-out list.u00a0Their range of desserts comes in various hues and colours and is cost-effective and enticing to look at. Among the fresh strawberry options, try their Strawberry Cup (Rs 45). Topped with a sliver of fresh fruit and strawberry gelatin, the cup is filled with a smooth, creamy strawberry mousse. Plus, it includes whole chocolate. If you enjoy your fresh fruit as much as you enjoy the chocolate sin, polish off the filling and then languidly, bite into your cup of heaven for at leastu00a0</div><div>15 minutes.u00a0</div><div><i><b><span style="color: red; ">At</span></b>u00a0Off Salunke Vihar Road, Wanowrie.</i></div><div><i><b style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">Call</b>u00a030424308</i></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b><span style="color: red; ">Also try</span></b></div><div><span style="color: red; "><b>&gt;</b></span> <b><span style="color: red; ">Bagicha</span></b> -- They are straight from Mahablesh-war's strawberry land and have options galore.</div><div><b style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">&gt;</b>u00a0<b><span style="color: red; ">Dorabjee</span></b> -- They have a huge Chocolate Strawberry Pastryu00a0(Rs 115) that's a delight.</div></div>
