Strawberry Showtime at Emporium Hotel South Bank
This sweet treat and cocktail selection pays homage to Ekka's iconic strawberry sundae, just with a touch more refinement.
Overview
You don't have to battle the crowds to experience Ekka's famed strawberry goodness. Instead, Belle Époque at Emporium Hotel South Bank have loaded their dessert cabinet with dine-in and takeaway treats that build upon this showground staple. This way, you can experience the fair's immersive nostalgia with an elevated charm.
Available until Sunday, August 17, the Parisian-inspired patisserie has a selection of suitably enchanting desserts spangled with strawberry notes. La Fraise features white chocolate mousse, red velvet sponge and strawberry compote, while the Strawberry Field is a yogurt and lime mousse topped with red berry compote and cocoa soil.
Yet there are plenty more treats to taste on this limited-edition lineup. Take your Ekka experience up a notch with Belle Époque's strawberry eclair, featuring elderflower and vanilla cream, or sample the refined strawberry, pistachio and vanilla tart. Rounding out this offering is a classic strawberry cheesecake enriched with sweet jelly and fresh fruit.
And if you're craving a treat with a little more kick, head up to The Terrace. The hotel's rooftop bar is levelling up Ekka with the Sideshow Sundae, a curated cocktail featuring vanilla liquor ice cream, strawberry liquor syrup, macerated strawberries and toasted nuts. Finished with a Bertie Beetle — this concoction is a thoughtful tribute to Brisbane's much-loved pastime.
