Raspberry and blackberry summer pudding with crème fraîche

Fried Mantou

A big carb bomb for dessert is a bit of a put-off, but the condensed milk still made it delectable.

Bingsu @ Sul-Bing Cafe

Long-standing bingsu place. Best to bring a friend to share with.

Snapchat Ice Cream

A freebie from Gelato Messina. A funky blend of passionfruit, cracker crumb and vanilla ice cream.

Pancakes!

When American breakfast foods are like dessert… you have them for dessert. Lots of different chains across Australia, but The Pancake Parlour is quite good.

Tutti Frutti Ice Cream @ Zangrandi

I haven’t visited Surabaya in many years, and even then never tried this ice cream shop, which had apparently been standing since 1930. Come for the colonial-era decor and old-style ice cream (not my personal favorite, but worth trying at least once), stay for the steamed peanuts you get from the sidewalk.

Despite the possible double entendre, they’re known for their shaved ice, NOT ice cream.

Indoors 13 – Messina Cookie Pie

I remember going to Messina a few years ago and seeing one of their repeating videos showing this scrumptious looking chocolate chip cookie pie on screen. Combined with the smell of baking cookies in-store, I asked for one to go. Unfortunately, they told me that it was a limited-time offering and that the cookie smell was for a different ice cream flavor they’re making.

Imagine my excitement to see that they’re stocking the very same pies that I wanted years later, and giving a discount on ice cream to go with it! They’re here all winter, and if you’re in Australia, consider buying one plus a tub of ice cream for yourself! Vanilla is a sure-fire, but try some other flavors including their specials too.
