| - I'm just going to put this out there - I'm lactose intolerant. It's not pretty and I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but my willingness to sacrifice well being and bowel function is a testament to how great Bang Bang is. Every time I'm in Toronto (every other month or more), I will in addition to above noted sacrifice, wait in line for up to an hour for this deliciously excruciating experience. Why is it so good you ask? Well, for starters they have:
CHINESE EGG WAFFLE, WAFFLE CONES! (OMG OMG OMG)
Fresh baked cookies for ice cream sandwiches
Fresh cream puffs for cream puff sandwiches
Fresh macarons for macaron ice cream sandwiches
If you're a weirdo or on some stupid carb free diet and the above pastry component doesn't entice you, then have the ice cream. Although I have yet to try all of them since they have a rotation of new ones every season, I can attest that all I've tried is fantastic. Orange cardamom, my all time favourite and the flavour that turned me onto anything cardamom is the best cardamom infused Ice cream I've had to date. With just enough hints of zesty orange and cardamom spice to make you want more after each bite (only to realize in desperation that you should have gotten three scoops), Bang Bang hit it dead on with this flavour. London fog is also a great on as is the lychee with rosewater essence. If you're around this season though, make sure you try out the mango puddin' with warm coconut sticky rice. It's like they somehow took a juicy ripe mango, turned it into an even creamier and more delicious version of itself and threw it on top of legit thai sticky rice with coconut cream. Who even thinks of that? They did clearly and it's so delicious.
Hands down my favourite ice cream place out of any ice cream place I've tried in Canada. For uniqueness of flavours alone, they should get five points but they've managed to score full points in every level for flavour, creativity and just damn good ice cream. I know where I'm going in two weeks!
