Located at Cavan Suites (near Lavender MRT), this hole-in-the-wall gelato shop is SUCH a hidden gem!!!! ๐คค Went there not knowing what to expect (and almost gave up walking there cos the location is not the most accessible), but was truly SO amazed!!! ๐คฉ
Being in Melbourne for the past few years, my tastebuds have definitely been spoilt by the amazing selection of gelato shops available there, with my favourites being Pipapipo and Gelato Messina. Hence, when I heard about this new shop, I knew I HAD to check it out - after all, Iโm always super picky about my ice cream (especially gelato)!
Given how Pistachio is a signature flavour for gelatos (and what I use to gauge whether a gelato shop is good), I instinctively went for the ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐จ & ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ (๐๐๐$๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฉ) and WOW it truly blew my mind ๐คค๐คค Honestly, I liked it better than Melbourneโs Pidapipoโs (which is my ultimate fav) - the pistachio flavour was strong, yet not overpowering; and the sweetness level was just right (really liked that it was not as sweet ,since gelato can get jelak after a while)! ๐๐ผ The gelato was also super creamy and rich and just SO PLEASING to my tastebuds - the Himalayan salt in the gelato was definitely noticeable as well, which complemented the whole taste note of the ice cream! ๐
Overall, this was simply PERFECTION - and Iโll definitely be back for more!!! I also tried a bit of the ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ & ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐๐ (๐ฆ๐๐$๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฝ) and ๐ณ๐ฌ% ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ท๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฐ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ & ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ข๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น (๐ฆ๐๐$๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฝ); which were really good as well! The staff at the store were super friendly as well โบ๏ธ And they also told us that they opened just right before the Circuit Breaker period, so their business was immediately affected when CB was announced... so PLEASE SUPPORT THEM!!! #supportlocal @gelatolabo please keep making more gelato hehe Iโll be super willing to taste all the new flavours! ๐
