San Zar (haw flake) and White Rabbit (milk candy) sorbet/gelato on waffle from Non Entrée Desserts. The sour, berry-esque haw flake flavour lingers on your tongue like perfume on your clothes after an Abercrombie & Fitch outlet visit, and the gooey and insistently milky White Rabbit gelato possesses an almost…
Banana Gusto (waffle with chocolate and chocolate mint ice cream) from Knots Living, a cafe concept situated within a breathtakingly beautiful furniture/floral space in MacPherson.
