As a long time Bangalorean, Corner House rates very high on the nostalgia factor for me. When I was in school, Wimpys followed by Hot Chocolate Fudge at Corner House was *it*. It just didn't get much better than that.
Unfortunately, with age and better taste, comes the realization that some of your childhood memories are not quite as sweet as you remembered.
If you love ice-cream (the good kind,atleast), don't, and I mean do NOT, choose any of the chocolate/chocolate sauce based icecreams here. What passes for chocolate sauce at Corner House is a strange,floury paste which shares only its color in common with its namesake. The ice-creams are strictly ordinary and I do believe you can do much better with a lot of the branded and packaged ice-creams available these days.
However, all is not lost. The apple pie with icecream and the some of the fruit based desserts are still quite tolerable. Especially if you're craving an instant sugar high.
So yes, I will continue to visit Corner House. It is a Bangalore institution after all. But it'll only be when I absolutely have to, and not because I want to. *sigh*
