Venezia Gelato Italiano

A trip to the Orchard shopping belt would never be complete without picking up our favourite baguette from St. Leaven.

Today, on making our way to the Hokkaido Food Fair at Scotts Isetan, after our bread purchase at Takashimaya, we observed people enjoying cupful of delicious looking ice-cream.

And it's from the Venezia outlet that has at least some 16 flavours of its Gelato on display.

Each cupful priced at - 1 flavor @ $3.10, 2 flavors @ $4.20.

I had never tried Gelato, cos its appearance of sitting in the display gave me the impression that it was soft and slimy. Mum on the other hand was wary of strong cream taste that most comes with.

But after seeing the server scooping hard, solid cream chunk into serving cups and sampling the Mango flavor, prompted us to make an order of the conventional bitter sweet Dark Chocolate and refreshing Mango flavor - Finding relief in our first spoonfuls of gelato.

Our next requisition would be their Durian, Raspberry, Strawberry, Vanilla, Lemon...
