Amazingly large and tasty shaved ice cream: Ice Monster (31. May 2017)
After ‘enjoying’ stinky tofu, a large portion of shaved ice cream is the perfect thing to change your palate. Ice Monster is apparently quite famous for their ice cream although I was not able to imagine why so. But, once you’re there and you see the portions, you will easily understand why. I went for […]
Lovely natural ice cream flavours: Gelateria Grom (10. September 2016)
We originally wanted to pay our back then favourite ice cream store, Cioccolati Italiani, a visit! However, as it was closed due to renovation (respectively “preparing itself for the future”), we ended up going to Grom. I always liked Grom but was never an explicit fan. However, I must say if you get “Caramelo al […]
Interesting Greek icecream flavours: Gelateria Il Posto (16. July 2016)
While the place looks pretty on pictures it is not a place I would usually go in right away. However, given I had local guidance, I decided to give the “Il Posto” a try. I decided to go for flavours I do not know – and the Greek dessert “Ekmek” (EUR 1.50 per scoop) sounded […]
Funny icecream flavours: Gelateria Santa Trinita (23. April 2016)
The Gelateria Santa Trinita offers proper Italian ice cream – but they offer also something more: True Italian ice cream with a twist. I went for the non-standard flavors: “ricotta and figs”, “black sesame” and “pure pistachio” (EUR 3.90). The ricotta you can barely taste but the figs are fresh, sweet and aromatic. What is […]
True Italian flavourful icecream: Helados (18. April 2016)
I randomly passed by “Helados” (Spanish for “icecreams”) and it just somehow looked like a place I was supposed to have icecream. So I went in and while the place itself is somewhat small and not that appealing look-wise, it still was like “yeah, I gotta have some icecream here”. And I went for “yogurt”, […]
Have you ever tried Biribiri or Jenipapo?: Sorveteria da Ribeira (1. February 2016)
When you do the bus tour of Salvador, one stop includes the port of Ribeira, or more precisely, actually the “Sorveteria da Ribeira” and while the place isn’t too appealing, the selection of different ice cream flavours is outstanding. Among the regular ones like vanilla, you can also find quite exotic flavours. I went for […]
1. November 2015: Cacao Rooms
If you crave for something sweet while roaming the streets of Ljubljana you might eventually pass the Cacao Rooms – especially because they have an ice cream counter outside. Three different flavors account for EUR 4.50 and I decided to go for “Greek Yogurt, Smarties, and Cookies” which leads to a very big piece of […]
8. September 2015: L’Arte del Gelato
The Chelsea Market does not only offer Japanese-Mexican fusion kitchen but also rather traditional Italian kitchen – or, to be more precise, ice cream parlours! The “normal” sized cup accounts for USD 5.39 and you get to pick three different flavours. And I must say while I have had better icecream in the past, it […]
