Just because I eat ice-cream at Passionflower…

…it doesn’t mean I like getting ripped off. Passionflower does not serve free tap water. They have a minimum $10 spend per person on Friday and Saturday nights… and for 3 scoops, you’re looking at paying at least $12. Now that I’ve got that off my chest… for the good stuff!

Passionflower no doubt offers unique and delectable flavours with an Asian twist. Some to name are lychee with rose petal, black sesame, jackfruit or durian… and more!
Tonight, we sampled the crepes with 2x scoops of ice-cream. The lychee flavour is sweet and creamy and has lovely bits of lychee all around. The cookies and cream is a classic which is hard to go wrong with.

Next was the Eastern Sunrise. The waffle cup was crispy and looked as pretty as a vase full of fresh flowers. It was ingenuinely glued to the plate with some honey. A scoop each of green tea, sticky rice and taro were mounted ontop of each other, with bits of banana, lychee and orange marrying up the flavours. My favourite has always been the green tea flavour as it particularly reminds me of the Japanese cuisine. The sticky rice was nice too… glutaneous grains of rice were a fascinating texture.
