It was an unusually hot day for Autumn and I decided to pop into Pidapipo for some gelato. I'd heard some people say it may not be permanent so I thought I'd better come try while it's in such a convenient location! After a few samples I settled on hazelnut and pistachio. The texture of the gelato was delightful and smooth. The hazelnut was particularly delicious and my favourite of the two. Their gelato and sorbetto comes served with an option of cones or cups. One scoop is $4,...

I quite enjoyed this panini, filled with tender slices of beef, tasty caramelised onion and tangy mustard. It was a good, lighter option for lunch and I was also able to get it toasted. On a previous visit, I had pan-fried, crispy skinned salmon with salad ($13.50), which was wonderfully cooked. I've only been here twice, but so far Lot 6 has not failed to impress! Beef Panini w.

So, I'm not a huge ice cream person but a combination of factors such as the hot weather, Helados Juaja being almost directly opposite the bus stop and also the fact that the bus wasn't coming for another 10 minutes, all led to me making the impulse decision to get some Argentinian-style ice cream. I settled on the Toasted Black Sesame (which takes three days to make) and Cookies & Cream ($7.50). The afternoon sun was so intense that the ice cream started melting and dripping everywhere almost as...
