Hello everyone, nope I haven't forgotten about you guys.. hmm maybe a little.. :P
This draft has been sitting on my desktop for a whole freaking week now.
Anyway, let's get straight to it.
Question! Where do you think the BEST Gelato in Singapore is at?
If you know one, drop me a message.
Personally, I have tried a few Gelato Shops here. I know, nothing here can be compared to the
FRESHLY MADE GELATO in the streets of Italy. I could definitely taste the difference. The ones in Singapore has more milk and ice, less fresh products. Probably affected by the type of milk and water used.
I have decided to do a rating for the stores, I have tried here, HONEST TASTE TEST.
First stop is ANDIAMO GELATRIA
Orchard Gateway, #B2-06, Somerset, Orchard.
Right after I came back from Rome, Italy.
Order: Pistachio and Hazelnut
Price: $9.80 for two scoops
There was about only 7 flavors to choose from.
This was pretty alright I must say, but more flavors and stronger flavor would be better.
Second stop is A ROMA
Plaza Singapura, #B1-32, Dhoby Ghaut
Order: Chocolate and Hazelnut
Price: $7.90 for two scoops
Price only varies for the premium flavors
There were more than 7 flavors here.
Not just cream gelato but sorbets are also available.
By far, my go to shop for gelato. It has reasonable prices, scoops and taste.
Third Stop is GELATISSIMO
Shaw House, Orchard Road, #01-01
Order: Dark Belgium Chocolate and Coconut
Price: $9.80 for two scoops
The scoops were too small ;(
Besides reviewing, these delicious treasures. I have a few photos from my Italy trip, of Gelato of course.
Just to give you a jizz what is the difference in scoop and presentation wise.
This is the first Gelato I had in Italy, while we were wondering in the streets of Rome at around 11pm. Everyone there young and old were enjoying two scoops each. The chocolate bar was a bonus, I wasn't expecting it. That night, weather was pretty chill at 22 degrees so the Gelato was melting at a slow rate.
Address: Via del Governo Vecchio, 112 (10,036.92 km)00186 Rome, Italy
Further out of Rome in Lazio, where English was less spoken, there was Antica Cremeria. When the evening arrives, there is always a queue all the way up to midnight. One of my favorite place to head to in the evening, and after dinner.
They also serve other desserts, waffles, cakes, sorbets..etc
A fast procedure of telling them,
piccolo, medio, grande (small, medium, big)
Pay for the size then choose your scoop of choice.
and they will ask you.. con biscotti or crema
Address: Via Lombardia 18 | traversa di via dei Lauri, 04011, Aprilia, Italy
Located in a Mosaic City of Ravenna. This Gelateria is one of the most popular there. Their fruit flavored gelato were one of a kind, we have tried both passion fruit and strawberry was fresh and full of flavor.
The first time, I had hazelnut and rum and raisin.
Each cone comes with a biscuit :D
Address: Via Quattro Novembre 8, 48121, Ravenna, Italy
Along the coast towards, the Marina of Ravenna, we came across this Gelateria which was pretty good too.
I forgot the name and address for this location XD
Well there are two more Gelateria which I haven't mention, strangely I didn't get a photo of, maybe because I had it so many times, its GROM Gelateria which is Vegan and they have the best dark chocolate gelato. I have seen them in both Rome and Milan, they seem to be opening more outlets :D
