Turkish
ice cream looks like the 'normal', humble ice cream....until you take a spoon
from it! It just keeps dragging out like I doesn't want to be eaten = The
Australian Summer ice-cream-melting issue solved! Apparently Turkish ice cream
is traditionally eaten with knife (no spooning here!) and fork.
1.
You don't just go here and get some simpleton caramel flavour (even they're way
too good for that).
2. You also don't just go in for one scoop especially when
you have your eyes on four different flavours!
Here's
our guide on what flavours were our favs:
Baklava: What's better than baklava? Baklava ice cream that's what. We loved the fillo pastry bits - just the way it soaks up some of the ice cream but still gives a chewy change in texture makes me feel so happy and zen!
Rock melon and feta: yes you read this right! Great balanced combination of salty and sweet I don't know how I didn't discover this before! Who even thought of this (next best after Bill Gates clearly)!
Grape molasses & tahini: the halva were amazing little crumbly chunks made from tahini that I just looked forward to throughout this whole flavour.
Caramelized fig and walnut: what is a Turkish bazaar without the sweet, distinct perfume of figs of late summer afternoons?

Of
course there are many other flavours but we didn't want to hit them all in one
go! There needs to be an excuse for a second visit!!
Next time you brunch or dinner in Newtown we highly recommend you stop at the dinner menu and trek it past Gelato Blue (sorry), N2 and Cloud9 as your portal to Turkey awaits you!
10/10 ice cream! You can't really compare it to Messina and Cow and Moon in terms of flavour since they're so different (Hello feta + melon!?)!!

Buuut
if my taste buds served me right, I think Turkish ice cream is traditionally a
little sweeter! Who's complaining?
