Personally, I like my texture unbeatable. When I find a fine establishment that prides itself on providing the customer with a delicately crafted culinary delight such as an acai bowl, I like the texture to be nothing short of unbeatable. To be frank, this figure known as “Thirsty Monkey” - who, might I add, have explicit wording on the back of their uniforms sharing their claim of “unbeatable texture” - have thoroughly disappointed me with the lack of quality. I have been to this store many times in the past, without feeling the need to check the viscocity and overall texture of the meal itself. However, on this occasion the moon specifically whispered in my ear that something close to my heart was a lie. Immediately, I thought of acai. This was quickly followed by what only I can describe as a “texture tip” (the move popularised by many Sydney influencers to discuss the texture of the acai product). Much to my dismay, “Thirsty Monkey” failed this test. Not only wasting all the fond memories I had of this place, throwing them all into the bin because of the lie they were merely built upon. But it had also taken my pride. I felt lied to and cheated by this particular branch of “Thirsty Monkey” and couldn’t stand for it any longer. I know the ins and outs of the “Thirsty Monkey” company. I know for a fact that their texture can indeed be unbeatable (proof of concept: Thirsty Monkey Marrickville). I believe this establishment itself needs a kick in the right direction to become the place where all acai lovers can congregate and enjoy this delicious, yet beautiful culinary experience. The people, though, are kind-hearted and soulful. I just wish this was reflected in the product that they produce. Overall, a good restaurant for the untrained palate. However, for those seeking a more elegant texture, go elsewhere. Lastly, the last redeeming quality of this franchise as a whole, faaaarrrkkkk that pistachio sauce is yummy.
