March - April

Sometimes being spied on is a good thing. <3 Instagram ads for showing me this hole in the wall. I’ve tried a few Chinese dessert places & they usually fall flat…; Diluted, not enough flavour, few options. This one was a welcome surprise. I recommend the ⭐Taro Puree with Rice Mochi & Coconut Milk. The employee was also super sweet.

Rivareno (Darlinghurst)
⭐NY Cheesecake gelato, what else needs to be said.

Their display is so beautiful, I can’t help but stare every time I walk by. My curiosity re: the non cake items got the better of me & I purchased a few pastries. The ‘star’ was definitely the ⭐danish… I believe it had ginger. I’m sorry I don’t remember at this point & it wasn’t labelled but they have very few pastry items, hopefully you can find it.

Omi (Chatswood)
Basque cheesecakes; a pudding-like textured cake, deliciously savoury & sweet. 🚩Omi’s basque… crumbly, dry, hardly sweet, also very small. Sigh.

Samnam (Chatswood)
I love a good Korean bistro but they were sorely understaffed so service was very slow. The 🚩Potato Pancake was burnt & bitter ☹️ The KFC was good but the tteokbokki was average.

Sals (Darlinghurst)
Honestly not terrible, actual NY pizza is just in a league of it’s own. If you go then pepperoni is the flavour. If it doesn’t come out crispy, please have more courage than me & ask them to reheat it once more, it deserves to be eaten at its best 😔 

Duo Duo (Strathfield)
Fried ice cream was my favourite dessert in childhood & I still get the same serotonin hit from it now. What more could a crunchy-enjoyer, sweet-tooth haver want. ⭐Sticky Date is also a yum flavour.

Kuki (CBD)
I have a soft cookie preference and this is more of a crunchy cookie. They pair well with ice cream but alone I honestly found them to be sooo salty. It was a try once food for me, I do see the appeal though.
