All day we've been dreaming of ice cream after eating a very heavy breakfast at the start of our shift. The little pigs started to feel drowsy and lazy but thanks to some sugar rush in chasing the drowsiness away. We ended our day as scheduled and off we go to Ayala Center.
We didn't waste much time after we got off the taxi but to go straight to the lower ground level. I'm very sure that you can guess where we are headed to. Its my new found ritual and I'm taking Ria to join me. A Real taste of Italia is their promise. Gelatissimo simply takes the stress away. With their very unique flavors you can't help it but keep coming back for more and that's what I have been doing ever since I get a taste of it. My taste buds can't simply get enough of their gelato. The good thing about this store is that you can sample it first which I think a very good way to help you out in choosing the best flavor that suits your taste. Everything looks very fresh and delicious. You can choose from the common to the wild fruit and nut flavors like strawberry, mango, avocado, pineapple, lemon, citrus, coconut, blue berries, lychee, passion fruit, coconut, hazelnut, pistachio and more. They also have wide choices of chocolate flavors for those who can't resist the chocolaty temptations.
You can also go wild with their unique flavors rhum and raisin combined, chili and other flavors that you don't expect in an ice cream could be a very great experience.
I've tried their rhum and raisin flavor paired with one caramel flavored on a two scoop cup made my day complete. The taste of rhum stays in your mouth on your first taste, the raisin gives it a sweet-taste and an texture. The moment that you would crave for more is when you will realize that your cup is empty.
The good thing about gelato is that it only contains 5-10% fat so for those who are very conscious with their fat intake this is good news. Unlike the regular ice cream, Gelato is whipped with hardly any air, so the flavors are intensified. Gelato ingredients are not homogenised and the result is that it melts faster than ice cream. Much of the experience lies in its semi frozen consistency. And because it is kept semi frozen and not rock-hard, the flavours come bursting through. Gelato is served from a different freezer than an American style ice cream. This is a forced air freezer, which is usually held at about -15°C allowing the Gelato to be served straight out of the Gelato machine! The best Gelato is made fresh daily.
TRIVIA:
Gelato is a generic Italian word for frozen. The same word is commonly used in English speaking countries to refer to frozen dessert that is prepared the Italian way. During the preparation of Gelato the ingredients are super-cooled while stirring to break up any ice crystals as they form. The result is a smooth and creamy texture even though it contains hardly any cream! It also has less than 35% air that leaves you with a dense and extremely flavoursome concoction.
