I Ate A Thing Did an ice cream crawl with my husband today
Spent the day walking across the city and tasting ice creams! Obviously our rankings aren't totally fair, since we got different flavours at every place, but here's our overall thoughts:
1 moon milk (guava cheesecake) - super interesting flavour, it wasn't even on our hit list but we just happened to stop in on our route. Will definitely go back for a pint
2 earl Grey SS (roselle) - obviously good, everything roselle does is good
3 Vietnamese coffee (ruru baked) - delicious, my favourite texture of everything we ate. I'm the most likely to go back here in the future due to location (also they give real spoons instead of wooden sticks!)
4 burnt honey ss (soma) - very strong honey flavour, I really liked it, but would have preferred on a cone without these awful cardboard spoons. Super generous portion too
5 blueberry lemon curd (scooped by demetres) - another really strong flavour, only ranked a bit lower because it was super firm. I'd crush a pint of this at home for sure, loved how lemon forward it was.
6 apricot thyme sorbet (good behaviour) - very interesting, not totally sure it worked, but i appreciate something unique. We originally ordered the pistachio baklava but it was super crumbly and honestly really gross, the staff kindly gave us a scoop of something else. Ill give GB another chance since I go there for sandwiches all the time, but a bit of a bummer considering how hyped up it was
7 blueberry sorbet (venerosa gelato) - not good. Super gummy texture, we actually tossed this one out. Not sure why we got a sorbet at a gelato place to be fair.
Sad we couldn't include other hits like bar ape and nanis, but we could only commit to so much walking around
