Where We Are Going Today: Unicone

Adding to the ever-growing collection of different ice creams is Unicone, an ice cream parlor that offers Jeddah residents a famous Japanese street food waffle called Taiyaki served with ice cream.
Taiyaki buns are cakes made in the shape of a fish traditionally filled with red bean paste; however, Unicone has swapped that filling with soft-serve ice cream of your choice, whether more traditional flavors like chocolate and vanilla or something fruity like mango and berries, or even something different like red velvet — or baby food.
The ice cream is smooth and creamy, and the texture is extremely light, perfect for the upcoming summers in the city.
Once the customer is done choosing the right combination, they can choose their toppings and dig into the picture-perfect ice cream. The shop itself offers the ideal space to take pictures in for social media. Its decoration includes neon signs and lights that look like ice cream cones hanging upside down.
The culture of the ice cream parlor was limited until the early 1980s in Jeddah and other cities in Saudi Arabia, along with other fast foods, but the easy availability of such foods has expanded exponentially in recent years.
