Besides its humble kiosk at the basement of Robinsons The Heeren, this scoop shop has taken up a permanent space in Takashimaya, just across from Godiva. Venchi's location makes it a must before and after shopping, and perhaps while lining up at Tai Cheong Bakery. The 130-year-old Italian creamery prides itself as a specialised chocolate shop, which explains why their chocolate gelato flavours are spot on — luscious, rich yet not overly so. There are three sizes ($5.90 for one, $7.50 for two, $8.90 for three scoops) and 10 gelato flavours to choose from. If you're new to the party, grab a few friends and share three scoops. The milk-based Pistachio, creamy chocolatey Giandujotto and Venchi's best offering — the Cremino Venchi, a medley of hazelnut and chocolate gelato — go excellently together.
Avg price: $5 per person
