Wikibar

So I had read about this place on the internet, opened in June and pioneered by a Harvard professor who is doing cool and exciting with food e.g. making food with edible packaging and working on coffee you don't have to drink. Sounds intriguing right? So I decided to check it out and it didn't disappoint.

The "edible packaging" food is basically just balls of icecream or sorbet, enclosed in a frozen casing that is edible (and tasty) and doesn't melt to the touch, very clever. The first was coconut with mango sorbet and the second was strawberry with vanilla icecream. Both so cute and so refreshing in the heat, and literally bite sized. 

They had an exhibition below the Wikibar which was exploring coffee and different ways of consuming it, not necessarily as a liquid. This cool piece of tableware is called the Waf. You can basically put any liquid into it and it turns it into a vapour/smoke, which you drink up through a special straw, giving you all the fabulous flavour of coffee but you're not actually drinking and there is no caffeine in it. I think this would be an absolutely divine centre piece for the end of a dinner party and I will definitely be trying to persuade my parents to buy one. Definitely the most unique way i've ever drunk coffee.
