Mapo, Newtown

 Mapo is an ice creamery located on King St Newtown. It’s New Years Eve and we’ve had 21,000 covid cases today. Mapo is my only outing today as I’ll be celebrating quietly at home. With the current pandemic, I’ve been able to get parking really easily in Newtown. 

Mapo is a tiny shop so basically only one customer can enter at a time. The ice cream flavours change frequently which makes for nice variety. On this occasion, I decide to get three flavours in a cup which costs $9.

Cha Ball, Burwood

Cha Ball in Burwood serves up fluffy souffle pancakes and refreshing drinks. Cha Ball is located in back alley of Burray Place Arcade. I've seen so many delicious looking photos on instagram so I'm eager to see how they look in person.

Burwood Hotel, Burwood

Burwood is such a great suburb for tasty food. Matt and I recently have date night at Burwood Hotel.

I also vowed to share my experience with a dear friend of mine who has a fascination with bubble tea drinks.

It's also great timing as the South Coast Food  and Wine Festival is on September 14-15th 2019 and this trip gave me a sample of what great regional food and wine exists in Shoalhaven.

Dulcet Cakes and Sweets, Burwood

Dulcet Cakes and Sweets is an Asian Dessert Eatery located in Burwood. I often find Asian desserts more subtle in sweetness compared to Western desserts. I'm enjoying the Asian flavours that seem really popular these days though including matcha, black sesame and red bean though. So what's on offer at Dulcet Cakes and Sweets?
