Bravissime Gelato!

OK, summer came way too early this year and I'm royally pissed because I bought a lot of coats from my fave store in HK, but I digress. So with the mercury currently hitting as high as 33C, we needed to cool off. My brothers introduced me to Gelatissimo and I've been hooked since. It's also a refreshing break from all the damn fro-yos. (By the way, adding cheesecake and brownies doesn't mean that those sinful sweets become healthy, so stop being a hypocrite)

Don't Expect Royal Service here

When my mom took us to CheonSan, Imperial Palace's Chinese restaurant. I didn't have high hopes. For one, I really don't expect much from hotel food. Second, we weren't exactly welcomed by the guard. My mom has been to Imperial Palace just a couple of days before our visit, but even if she didn't we found it strange that we're even having this kind of convo with the stupid guard.

I wanna know what Selecta meant by "generous" because 6 Baguio (read: miniscule) strawberries in an 800ml tub doesn't count as generous, at least for me.

But then why am I surprised, I remembered when this ice cream came out a few months (?) back, I wondered how long will it take for this to devolve into pink-coloured vanilla ice cream.

OK, so i can still taste the "strawberry purée" in the ice cream but I still want more strawberry bits in there. At 160/800ml it's not so bad, I mean, for that price that's like a scoop at Haagen Daaz, so I don't completely hate Selecta's Very Berry (?) Strawberry. It's not completely pink-coloured vanilla yet so grab one now while it still tastes (somewhat) like strawberry.

I still prefer Haagen's strawberry ice cream though, even with the ridiculous prices (let's all blame the taxes) just cos I get strawberry bits in every scoop, with Selecta's I went through a third of the tub before finding the real fruit.

Michellan rating for Selecta Very Berry Strawberry:

Get this if you don't want to spend obscene amounts of money for you ice cream - it's almost as good as Haagen Daz's strawberry ice cream, but not as good.
