If your daydreams are filled with thoughts of the first bite of a silky, pillowy-soft, golden-orange mango pancake fresh off the trolley at yum cha – you oughta get your butt to Gelato Messina Smith Street over July 9-10.
The gelato kings at Messina are skipping straight to dessert with their Mango Pancake Party, a pop-up at Messina’s Fitzroy HQ. Be hypnotized by their snazzy new pancake machine as you load up on delicious desserts. Messina’s take on the staple yum cha dessert involves freshly cooked mango crepes filled with mango sorbet and whipped cream.
The pop-up will be pumping out pancake parcels from noon to late on Friday and Saturday. There's free entry and pancakes are $12 for two.
