One of the latest specialty gelato shoppe to open along the Tanjong Pagar stretch is none other than @cotta.sg! Unsuspectingly located on the second level of a row of shophouses, you should be able to spot a huge dangling balloon-like sign right in front of their entrance door.

Cotta specialises in gelato and intricate entremets that are all made in-house and has gelato elements to them! I had been eyeing their Trio - having seen it on my Instagram feed a couple of times and I just knew it was the dessert meant for me.

Essentially comprising of three cheeses - Tête de Moine, Gorgonzola and Parmigiano, this gelato centric dessert was tantalizing to say the least. I don't remember having a gelato based entremet before and boy, was this stunning in both presentation and taste. It was quite reminiscent of the cheese cakes I had a while back from Queic! The smooth cheesey gelato paired perfectly with the parmigiano crisp; all 3 cheeses complementing one another with a delicious balance of savoury and sweet.

I was so intrigued by their entremets that I didn't get the chance to try their gelato offerings and waffle. Time for a second visit! I do wanna thank the co-owner for being so gracious to my annoying photographer presence of course - a good thing I went on a quiet weekday evening to boot!
