Das Eis und Sorbet

Find this place @ PARCO Marina Bay, Galta Gelato Italiano Artigianale. A gem for ice cream and sorbet!

I had it twice since and nothing will prove otherwise. The ice cream is just so good... the sorbet a little too sweet for my liking but some flavours are pretty okay. I didn't snap a photo of the little shop, but they have 2 cool rotating machines, one for ice cream, the other for sorbet. The staff are also very generous with the scoops, it's S$4.80 for double, just nearly a dollar more than a single! There's no point trying to save some calories anyway ;)

Pink Guava & Raspberry sorbet.

Rum Orange & 100% Black Chocolate.

The Rum Orange & 100% Black Chocolate is my most recent try, and I swear that rum is really strong on the first spoonful... But I didn't get drunk ;) Nothing beats chocolate, and not to mention, dark chocolate. It isn't bitter, it just tastes delectably not-too-sweet. The sorbet is my first try, those are the least sweet flavours among the others. Too much Pink Guava can get a little too sweet but fortunately the raspberry balances it out nicely.

I also sampled Pistachio flavour at their tasting booth in Millenia Walk, however it wasn't there for sale!!! I would love a scoop of that, so milky and refreshing! Raspberry with ginger is a quirky idea, but that combination is just not right.

They always have something new... so go and have a look at their new and constantly changing menu!

DIY food

Done these over the last Sunday with my lil sis. It's awesome to do it with someone because usually I can't be bothered to make a mess out of the kitchen! It was meant to be her baking but ended up I kinda enjoyed helping her out... ;)

The cookies are amazing, the soft ones feel like the freshly baked Subway cookies, while the golden brown ones are like Famous Amos chocolate chips cookies! It's a little sweet, I hate adding the amount of sugar I'm instructed to on the recipes, next time it's wiser to probably gauge the amount of sugar ourselves.

I was doing the lemon sorbet myself with my lil sis taking the whole time just preparing the lemon zest. It didn't quite freeze that night, so I came home after work on Monday, mashed it up with a fork and then transferred it over to a box. Looks like I have bought it somewhere, isn't it! It's pretty sour, and just the way we like it! (Apparently, sorbet is also known as sherbet which is considered as frozen drink!)
