In music, Prince pulled it off but Michael Jackson didn’t.
On the soccer pitch everyone knows who Pelé was while Tim Cahill is stuck with both his names.
The AFL hasn’t even delivered a mono-name celebrity in a long time.
But Moama Bowling Club has: Frinkle.
One word that says soooo much. And one that tastes soooo good.
If you are looking for a sweet treat with every topping you could possibly dream of, there really is only one name, one address and one place to go.
Frinkle.
Located within the Moama Bowling Club building, it is guaranteed to put some colour and light into the dullest day — and it can be a fitting finale to a meal in the bistro or just an excuse to drop in for five minutes while you create your own masterpiece on an ice-cream base (or frozen yoghurt).
Marketing co-ordinator Marie-Claire McCaffrey is an enthusiastic part of the team behind Frinkle.
“The Moama Bowling Club had this great space that they wanted to fill with something different,” Marie-Claire said.
“They worked together with a team in Melbourne and came up with the idea of Frinkle, something you don’t see anywhere else in the area.
“Moama Bowling Club is a family-friendly club; we aim to please our younger guests — and the young at heart — with the sweet treats on offer.
“Our returning guests comment on how much they enjoy the ability to tailor their own sweets, and that they can pile up their favourite topping each time they visit.”
Customers choose an ice-cream or frozen yoghurt as a base and add toppings of their choice.
“We usually have two flavours of ice-cream and two frozen yoghurt, as well as around 20 to 24 topping options,” Marie-Claire said.
“If you’re feeling like you want to be healthy, we do have fresh fruit, chia seeds or other similar offerings as toppings, or if you’re feeling a bit naughty we do have a range of lollies and sweet treats too.”
Frinkle also dabbles in a little devilry for events such as Halloween — or slips a few peach heart treats in for Valentine’s Day.
Marie-Claire said Frinkle was a great way to celebrate a variety of occasions.
“Anyone shopping locally within the twin towns knows how easy it is to reach everything — whether you’re looking for fantastic Frinkle, your supermarket shopping, clothes, sporting gear, whatever, it’s basically all in the one place,” she said.
“Community is run on community support. It’s all about sticking around and supporting your local businesses.”
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions currently in place, Frinkle is only able to offer table service.
During the school holidays, Frinkle will open from noon to 3 pm each day, alongside its regular hours of 6 pm to 9 pm.
