Getting the dessert assignment from your editor can be a tricky one, especially when you love sweets. Advice? Try to intersperse the treats in between the main courses rather than dining all at once. On the other hand: YOLO.
Tiramisu, Italian Bakery
Article content
Booth 10, four tickets
Speaking of living dangerously, it probably wasn’t the wisest move to grab a tiramisu in a cup from the Italian Bakery, thus making it easy to move around and eye other potential delights. Coffee-dipped confectionary blended with whipped mascarpone cheese and cream and a topping of cocoa powder makes for a delightful snack.

Croissant bites, Flurrries
Booth 12, two tickets
The lineup for Flurrries was an impressive one, but mostly for their Bingsoo Mango or Bingsoo Oreo, two desserts made of shaved ice that is clearly already a Taste favourite. Croissant bites were a little less in demand, though the crunchy, fried pieces of drizzled pastry sprinkled with confectioners sugar and a glob of ice cream on the side were fine, if nothing special. Still a bargain at two tickets.
Deep Fried Banana, Blue Willow Restaurant
Booth 26, three tickets
Imagine oversized pineapple chicken balls covered in whipped cream with a glaze, but instead of chicken, you’re tasting deep-fried banana. That’s it, that’s the tweet, and while it didn’t really hit the sweet spot for me you could see why this dish has something of a cult following.
