The Thousands

For a city so stuck on staying swimwear skinny, Sydney sure has a sweet tooth. Gelaterias abound, and while I’m not here to get into a tizzy over which is the best (Gelatomassi, Pompei or Serendipity?), I must observe a tasty point of difference.

Asian-infused Passion Flower offers flavours you won’t find anywhere else; red bean, taro, black sesame, jackfruit, even durian (rose petal and lychee, coconut, and sticky rice are also highly recommended). They also sell crepes and big, bizarre dessert combinations.**Be forewarned – this place is pricey, and the service tends towards the snappy-and-sayonara variety. But hey, your average shop may offer scoops that are merely mindlessly amusing. Here, every bite is a treat.
