The Cholado is like a cold drink, it could be made from crushed ice and mixed with artificial flavors which give color to it, like orange , red or purple, and at the top have a small amount of sweetened milk. It can also be made from crushed ice and natural fruits mixed together; the fruits will be cut in small pieces and added to the mix, the fruits used in this case could be: passion fruit, lulo, lemon, strawberry,bananas, etc, and at the top the same sweetened milk. It is a very refreshing drink and can be obtained very easily within the city. Jamundi is well known for its Cholados.
Barco de Papel, a Spanish language children's bookstore, sells Como el Grinch Robo La Navidad (How the Grinch Stole Christmas), Harry Potter en Español, and a children's version of Don Quixote.
At El Palacio de Los Cholados, try a Colombian cholado, a combination smoothie, fruit salad and SnoCone.
El Palacio de los Cholados, 83-18 Northern Blvd., 718-651-6392.
Despite the neat packaging, it is difficult to consume a cholado without dripping condensed milk all over your clothes, so I usually take mine home and center it on a plate (see left).
There's an excellent cholado to be had on 37th Ave, at the Aquí Colombia bakery and café.
The pastries at this place look deadly, but the cholado is spot-on, with chunks of mango snuggled between slivers of pinneapple.
