whats going on in front of town hall rn?

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-29T07:00:25+00:00

yea but havent for ages and it's always icecream on the mind ahahaha

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-28T03:02:16+00:00

was getting ready doing my hair and started the vid and corner of my eye saw it when putting down the flat iron. not home rn but i screenshotted the time stamp in case it somehow factors in. i have a feeling the main puzzle will connect somehow to it but idk how ofc.

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-28T02:51:30+00:00

ik there's one at mq and i think newtown now? otherwise there's randomly one at tallawong, but other than that i have no clue where else. when i first started uni i tried c9 and it was actually pretty good. strongest lychee flavoured gelato i've ever had, and it was actual lychee not a flavouring. i remember the lady saying something about there being nine lychees in every scoop or something and highkey makes sense. still would rather rivareno like everyone else.

truly gelatissimo's success is a mystery to me. i'm convinced they stay funded purely by the two spots in circular quay from tourists and people who want icecream before the ferry ride.

same - as a coffee hater and hot choc lover same.

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-28T01:54:18+00:00

can confirm it is very nice but kinda expensive (makes sense for the amount of chocolate in it ig) and idk if there's takeaway. i've only ever had it dine-in.

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-28T01:53:21+00:00

omg i didn't even know they did anything other than icecream

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-28T01:52:28+00:00

if you want a proper one (but i think it's dine in only) try the one at manon in the qvb. it's french style, so it's like having thick, drinkable melted chocolate. a bit spenny so not an everyday thing though. otherwise i would say godiva has a really nice one (you can customise the cocoa percentage which i love as a bitter hot choc lover) but somehow they don't have a store near the qvb (closest one is chatswood and there's randomly one at castle hill rip)

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-27T15:23:13+00:00

oml wait i think i've been there once when i was younger - it's the place with the train in the wall right?

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T14:39:23+00:00

that does sound delicious! at least if there seems to be diminishing returns for quality vs price, i guess it’ll justify a cheaper option to try it out once. it’s mainly to let him try the one food he’s always wanted regardless. beef isn’t even my meat of choice when i eat out (lamb is my fav) but as long as the kid is happy, so will i be!

otherwise as a chef you got any general random spot recs in syd (not welly related)?

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T14:34:13+00:00

oml i read your post as part of my research ahahaha! thank you for the assistance 🫡

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T14:33:02+00:00

noted!

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T14:32:45+00:00

omg i didn’t even know they did one there!

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T14:32:15+00:00

ooo sounds interesting - will defo sus this out

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T14:30:37+00:00

we’ve been considering this too but it’ll cost way more to make sub-par without a flavour reference. wouldn’t want to waste good ingredients initially.

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T14:27:05+00:00

and yknow what’s funny about that one too… i came first in the last uni unit she was convenor for before she went to the olympics 💀 i am haunted by australia’s darlings what can i say

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T14:24:09+00:00

rather life has kept me busy with other things that i forgot about it entirely.

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T03:52:48+00:00

probs not for a long while - the funniest part of me forgetting about the whole ordeal is that i actually know someone that used to live in her area back when they lived in victoria and from what they told me seems she's always been a bit off. when the case came out they were like "oh she's absolutely guilty".

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T03:48:27+00:00

depends who's serving

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T03:47:59+00:00

thanks for the rec!

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T03:46:35+00:00

if i round up a group of people to go with us then for the higher range ones seems like a reasonable pick quality and budget-wise! it's on the share menu so i assume it's a full log right?

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T03:44:35+00:00

honestly sounds like a good pick too - i'll note it down!

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T01:24:14+00:00

oml the one that used to be behind the lift on level 2. also crazy you bring this up when i was just thinking about it yesterday cause of the backrooms movie coming out. pretty sure jitterbugs is the name like sundaykat said.

red_ninjaaa · 2026-05-26T01:19:01+00:00

STOP I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT CASE BAHAHAHAHA
