At Kiddo Coffee, it’s with attention to detail, Thai riffs and coconut-filled buns toasty from the oven. - Pakasit “Zen” Wawongmoon has just opened the cafe on a tucked-away Surry Hills street. Two years ago he closed the Bondi cafe of the same name that he co-owned – but he’s back with a truer expression of himself.

Each pack clearly shows the type of fish, price and weight (for example, tuna from Japan is $66 for 60 grams, while local kingfish is $24 for 90 grams). Selections get sliced and served as sashimi, or for another $18, in a set that includes rice, steamed egg custard, mini udon soup and sashimi salad.

Words by Kit Kriewaldt · Published on 09 Sep 2026 - Read later “Not too sweet” is the classic compliment for Asian desserts. For Sharon Sia and husband Albert Maung it became a mission when setting up Sofu, their new gelato shop where the ice-cream is made with tofu. - “We really like gelato, but the gelato in Brisbane is a little bit too sweet for us,” says Sia. “Using tofu, it harmonises well with other ingredients because it’s such a beautiful and delicate taste.” - The pair first encountered silken tofu ice-cream on a trip through Asia, where the frozen treat has been turning heads and drawing queues from Seoul to Singapore. Although the idea of making ice-cream with tofu in place of dairy goes back to a US patent from 1922 , the origins of the current craze are harder to pin down. It may have begun in the coastal South Korean city of Gangneung, famous for its velvety soft sundubu tofu , which locals often showcase in soft serve and gelato.
