Starberry, Surfers Paradise

Starberry, situated in Surfers Paradise along Elkhorn Ave, offers a delectable range of frozen yoghurt and smoothies. Advertised as a 'healthy' alternative, the simplicity and interaction at Starberry is enough to draw in curious customers.

J and I stumbled across this little dessert bar in a Japanese tourist magazine where after seeing it, quickly made our way to Starberry to fill our sweet-starved tummies. 

There are 8 frozen yoghurt flavours at one time, with over 35 flavours that changes seasonally. When J and I went to Starberry, there was forest berries, mango, passionfruit, creme caramel, chocolate, wild cherry, coconut and original yoghurt flavours. 

The tub of frozen yoghurt is charged by the grams so you can put as much or as little as you want.

I definitely had to try some of the creme caramel as it is my all time favourite in dessert and ice-cream flavours.

After choosing from the selection of frozen yoghurts (yes, you are allowed more than one flavour *yay*), we moved on to the topping station where there is an array of toppings ranging from fruits to lollies to chocolates and nuts.

J went all out with chocolate and mango frozen yoghurt topped with nuts, sprinkles and crushed cookies.

I went for a more healthy approach and chose passionfruit frozen yoghurt topped with passionfruit syrup pieces, lychee and kiwi alongside creme caramel frozen yoghurt topped with nuts and chocolate pieces.

The passionfruit frozen yoghurt, although  more on the sour side, was absolutely delicious paired up with the lychee as it balanced out the flavour, bringing along some sweetness. The creme caramel frozen yoghurt was heavenly sending out orgasmic sparks to counteract my brain freeze.

Starberry is worth popping by if you're enjoying a sunny day out at Surfers Paradise and need something sweet to cool you down.

MeetFresh, Sunnybank

With more than 100 stores worldwide, MeetFresh  has finally arrived in Brisbane, targeting the Asian suburb of Sunnybank. Set out in a spacious modern interior, MeetFresh offers a range of desserts and drinks with something there for everyone.

The desserts at MeetFresh are prepared fresh and are seemingly 'healthy' as they are all made from natural and fresh ingredients.

The Signature Herbal Jelly consisting of herbal ice, herbal jelly, hand made taro balls and cream is one of the more popular dessert item on the menu. The herbal jelly, which is made from natural plant extracts, packs a punch in yummy goodness.

Herbal Jelly 6 packs in herbal ice, herbal jelly, pearls, noodle jelly and glutinous cake (which was sold out) so red beans were replaced instead. The different textures mixed with the cold ice left a refreshing feeling on the palette.

The Supreme Mango Milk crushed ice was a brain freeze delight oozing in sweetness. The only downside was the canned mangos, which was however still delectable in being an accompaniment to the entire dessert.

With an amazing frothy, sweet coolness that refreshes all the taste buds with every sip, the Herbal Tea with whipped cream is a must try item on the menu.

Opening until late every night, MeetFresh is the perfect place to revive and delight the tummy with the refreshing and delectable desserts and drinks on offer.

In love and food,
