| - Like you, who's reading this review debating about whether Bang Bang is worth the legendary hour wait, I too have heard abuot this place a year ago but never made my way down to Ossington until now.
Nah, my sweet tooth didn't snap. After having dinner at a resto right across from Bang Bang, I had no excuse to not brave the line and finally try what I presumed to be overhyped icecream sandwiches.
Sorry Bang Bang, but you were definitely overhyped. Fortunately we only waited for 20min or so, on a breezy Friday night so it was definitely not bad at all. The ice cream sandwiches.. I mean, it's really just two cookies sandwiching some well-made ice cream. Their flavour selection is huge (see photo), and so.. we tried the chocolate hazelnut with the birthday cake cookie. TOO SWEET. The ice cream was 100% delish but the combo of these two flavours were overpoweringly sweet. Should've opted for something bitter/lighter on the ice cream. I had a try at the cherry miso ice cream too - unique and very good.
You have the choice of getting a full ice cream sandwich or a half sandwich (so, one cookie split into two pieces) - which we opted for, since we decided to share a HK waffle cone after.
That waffle cone tasted DIVINE with the London fog ice cream. It was freshly made (worth that 15min additional wait), so soft, and contrasted nicely with the ice cream sandwich that grew me another sweet tooth.
Would it be worth a 1h+ wait? Nah. But if you're around the area and the weather is nice, chill on Ossington for a bit and give Bang Bang a shot
