The ice-cream flavour has left the internet divided as some foodies seem to like the new flavour while some cannot just accept a coriander seasoning on their ice cream. One of them said that he has tried the limited-edition coriander sundae and he liked it. Another said, "My worst nightmare - coriander ice cream. Apparently, a cafe in China smothers everything in coriander."
Take a look at how the users are reacting on Twitter:
This is not the first time, a food chain has experimented with coriander in a dessert. Last year in April, Subway had also released a new coriander cookie.
