Royal Copenhagen Ice Cream and Zumbo, Manly

It's time for a photo dump.

My hair was so flat and messed up from the wind.
So pay more attention to the ice cream!:)
The flavor itself was called Royal Copenhagen.
It had honeycomb and that sort of malted milk taste.
Love it is.

Mocha Almond Fudge
and
Tropical Passionfruit.

Check plus plus plus plus.

With the addition of slivered almonds,
and hot chocolate fudge.

Well, before all the shibang about modern day ice cream and desserts, there was Royal Copenhagen. It's honest to goodness ice cream. They even have a waffle contraption out back where they hand-roll the cones. That's why they're so golden crunchy and flavorful. Then the ice cream is heck creamy like you wouldn't even imagine.  Not to mention there's a self-serve counter where you could douse your ice cream with caramel, hot fudge, slivered almonds, and sprinkles. This is old school bliss. Classic.

Ola, Zumbo.

Are you sick of my ever recurring Zumbo posts? I have to admit, I love that man and his pastry. But this time, Zumbo was a rather unexpected disappointment. Like I've said last time, it was quite unfortunate when I reached Zumbo in Balmain cause they've ran out of macarons. This time, it was nearly 4pm and I was glad to see the display cabinet still filled with trays of macarons. I was anxious to give the new flavors a try.

I love my Golden Gaytime

HOLY GOLDEN GAYTIME

Last Sunday, I went to the grocery and my grandmother gave me money to buy WHATEVER I want. I've already planned that I'll start my diet this week, so that night, I exercised a buttload of self-control- I'm not kidding. I usually love going to the grocery, checking out what's new and goodies that are on SPECIALS! Aisle after aisle, I avoided Tim Tams, Tiny Teddies, Old Gold, Green & Black's, Red Rock Deli, Grain Waves, and heaps others!

Anyway, just before we headed to the counter, we passed by the frozen food section, and there it was, SPECIAL: 4 for $20 on the Cadbury Ice Cream Selection! Who on earth could turn down an offer like that? This is where everything just FAILED MISERABLY. Despite 4 boxes of Cadbury Ice Cream, I just had to have a box of Golden Gaytime.

Biscuit Studded Goodness

Golden Gaytime is incomparable. It's a classic and has been around since the 50's. It has creamy vanilla ice cream enveloped in a layer of toffee ice cream. It is then dipped in chocolate- nothing delivers that same snap the way chocolate coated goodies do. Finally, a generous sprinkling of crunchy biscuit pieces. HOW DELIGHTFUL. 

I'd eat them everyday, I don't think I'd ever get sick of them. But of course, that won't happen since I'm fat enough to begin with! I had 2 sticks of Golden Gaytime, and that has been it for me! But it's more likely that it's just two sticks, FOR NOW. Oh, I didn't touch any of the Cadbury Ice Cream! Self-Control.
