Roji Monster Ice Cream

Remember the Yip Yips from Sesame Street? Now you can eat them or at least a close approximation of them at the Roji Monster Ice Cream shop in Burwood. This dessert café imported from Taiwan creates shaved ice desserts with candy googly eyes in five flavours. Matcha is the most popular, but there's also black sesame, but we should warn you that the rainbow one isn't actually rainbow - it's to indicate the changing seasonal special. You use stamps to select your two toppings to go with your icy monster, which could be anything from Oreo cream cheese, honeycomb rice dumplings, saffron and lychee jelly or cornflakes. Take your photo first because the edges will start to melt by the time you make it to your table. And it's definitely worth ordering a waffle too. The warm cake is the highlight and comes with chocolate syrup, ice cream and matcha cream. Enthusiastic parents with kids will queue up before the shop even opens at noon, and by nightfall you can expect queues for one of Sydney's most adorable desserts.
