  "account": "Ice cream connoisseurs in Hong Kong soon will have the opportunity to indulge in towering, topped confections once again, thanks to the return of Emack & Bolio’s. The Boston-based chain, famed for its extravagant ice cream cones adorned with a variety of mix-ins, is set to establish a new location on Hollywood Road. While details about the store layout remain scarce, the company has begun hiring a local team to prepare for the opening scheduled for early September.\n\nEmack & Bolio’s is renowned for whimsical flavor combinations such as Bananas Foster, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Deep Purple Chip, Pumpkin, and Space Cake, a dessert that fuses cake batter with red velvet bits and shortbread cookies. Classic toppings like crispy cones, Fruit Loops, Rice Krispies, and sprinkles will also be available. Additionally, the brand offers vegan options, sorbets, and frozen yoghurt for those seeking healthier alternatives.\n\nOriginally introduced to Hong Kong in 2015, the brand's previous outpost on Cochrane Street succumbed to the pandemic in 2021. The newly announced store will occupy the address 47 Hollywood Road, Central, and promises a respite for ice cream enthusiasts seeking an indulgent experience.
