Where To Go When You’re Not Ready To Accept That Summer Is Over - London - The Infatuation

"Hot tip for avoiding absolutely anything: denial. And what better way to deny autumn than eating ice cream. It’s the ultimate Uno reverse card. This little Japanese dessert spot in Chinatown is our favourite place to get soft serve with brown sugar tapioca when we’re feeling sad and need a sugary pick-me-up. It specialises in taiyako—a fish-shaped cake filled with things like peanut butter and Nutella—which they’re even prone to filling with rose lychee soft serve. It’s all very Instagram-worthy, with menu items like rainbow unicorn and little mermaid fish ice creams. We love their vanilla soft serve with Oreo dust and brown sugar tapioca, but the rose lychee is a close second." - rianne shlebak
