In attempt to make the most out of my post-HSC and pre-university break, I have been keeping myself semi-busy exploring new places, trying new foods and catching up with friends I haven't seen in a while. On one such trip, my friend Chrissie and I ventured out to the city for lunch before going to university to obtain our ID cards.
We had Brooklyn Hide's signature bagels - Chrissie ordered Hells Kitchen (prosciutto, avocado, fetta, rocket, fresh lime) while I had Soho (smoked salmon, red onion, hummus, olive tapenade). They were delicious and exactly what we were searching for lunch. The bagel was neither too hard nor too soft and the filling was mouth watering - lots of salad, just how I like it. I would no doubt revisit sometime in the future.
After being in awe of the ten-storey library and getting lost multiple times in the grand suburb that is our university, we headed off for dessert seeing as it was still quite early and as I was recently introduced to Aqua S, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to see what all the hype was about.
I ordered a mix of sea salt and salted dark chocolate soft serve in a dark chocolate cone with fairy floss as a topping. Truth be told, I only ordered the fairy floss for the aesthetics of the photo and I was not disappointed in that aspect. Sadly though, the dessert itself did disappoint - in no way is it horrible, it just wasn't that spectacular for me. It might be the fact that it was a little pricey or that I don't even like chocolate ice-cream or that I had to wait quite a bit for it but I don't think I'll be headed back anytime soon for this... maybe if they had something new I would but for now, it just didn't cut it for me.
Oh wait, I know why I didn't enjoy it that much - I've been on a little bit of a healthy streak and lately all I've been craving are fruits and other healthy food 24/7. Kudos to Aqua S for being innovative with the new dessert craze though! I'm really starting to miss the froyo craze.
Looking forward to more food adventures!
