I wasn’t planning to eat gelato at 10:30 in the morning. I just went in to waste time while waiting for Tazza D’Oro to open and this gelato shop was just across it. Look how near Gelateria Lo Scimmiotto was to the Pantheon. Of all the gelato we’ve eaten in Italy this was the most commercialContinue reading “Rome: Gelateria Lo Scimmiotto”

Rome: Fior di Luna Gelato
No meal in Rome is complete without gelato for dessert. This was the only gelato store we saw in Travestere. I was initially hesitant since this was the first gelato we were going to eat that wasn’t held inside stainless covered cylinders. The sign for their ingredients gave me hope for good gelato. This wasContinue reading “Rome: Fior di Luna Gelato”
Rome: Trattoria al Moro, Caffe Greco, Baccano Gelato
So far most of the meals we’ve had in Italy were disappointing with some mediocre dishes that served to merely fill our tummies. That changed when we had dinner at Trattoria al Moro. We were quite famished having skipped lunch and spent the day at the Vatican museum and we arrived a little too earlyContinue reading “Rome: Trattoria al Moro, Caffe Greco, Baccano Gelato”
Rome: Flor Gelato
I did my research beforehand for good places for gelato in Rome. A new brand of artisanal gelato called Flor has opened in Rome. Lucky for us a there was a branch near the Colosseum along Via Cavour near the entrance to the Roman Forum. After our tour of the Colosseum we were so hotContinue reading “Rome: Flor Gelato”
Florence: Grom Gelato
To erase the disaster that was our dinner we went to Grom for some gelato. I didn’t know Grom was popular and had branches around Italy, Japan and the USA. It had lots of people in the store and that meant it was good. Another thing that assured me of it’s quality was the gelatoContinue reading “Florence: Grom Gelato”
Barcelona: Sweet Treats
Right after our super delicious lunch at Santa Maria del Mar Restaurant we went in bubó, a pastry shop by Catalan pastry chef Carles Mampel, which was nearby. I’ve never seen so may different colors and unique flavors of marshmallows before. I wonder what gourmet marshmallows tasted like. I wish I bought some to try. GuimauveContinue reading “Barcelona: Sweet Treats”
Dessert at Bar Dolci
My 3 young cousins, the J brothers, invited me to dinner at Azuthai and I treated them to dessert at Bar Dolci.They bought a coupon from Deal Grocer worth P2,000 for a complete Thai dinner for 4 at Azuthai. I didn’t take pictures anymore since the food was pretty much the same as what IContinue reading “Dessert at Bar Dolci”
Hodgepodge
I made a lot of new food discoveries on my recent trip to the USA. I compiled them into this post. From crisps, chocolates, ice cream and Spam! I bought these Canadian crisps at Whole Foods Market. They were nutty and a bit salty, a little sweet and just perfect with cheese. Fig and OliveContinue reading “Hodgepodge”
Pitango Gelato
I like gelato, ice cream, frozen yogurt and other cold desserts but I’m not crazy about them. If there’s some I’ll eat it but if there’s none I won’t go looking for it. I’d rather have a good cookie, cake or chocolate for dessert. Since Pitango Gelato was right next door to The Counter weContinue reading “Pitango Gelato”
Best Gelato at Cara Mia Gelateria
I attended the blessing of Cara Mia’s branch in Greenhills. Cara Mia is part of Amici restaurant. I dragged Rochelle and Chris to accompany me. The minute we sat down they brought food from Amici to our table. They served 2 kinds of pasta and pizza. Our hands down favorite was the spaghetti in oliveContinue reading “Best Gelato at Cara Mia Gelateria”
