The best gelati I have tried so far is actually in Gelateria Cremona, Brisbane. Before you all start pointing out what does Brisbane have to do with good ice cream, please read on. Although I clearly havent tried all the gelati shops in Melbourne or on my travels to Italy and France, I think i have sampled enough to come to my ‘best’ expereince so far.  Gelateria Cremona’s pistashio taste just like grounded pistashio in lush, creamy gelati. Strawberry taste like blended strawberry milk in the texture of gelati. Dosen’t get simpler and better than that.

Meanwhile, me and a few friends was walking at Southgate after the fireworks on Monday and we decided to try Tutto Bene’s gelati. At first we just wanted something to eat (sweet). When the shop owners told us the inside seating was closed we wanted to leave. Then I saw all these dairy, gelati awards on the bench and paused to take a closer look. I tried limoncello (brilliant) but my friend gave me a weired look since she was ’allergic’ to alcohol’s taste. At the end we agreed on calamansi and fig. The calamansi was just a delicious mix of citrus acid resembling lime, and a refined bitterness of a kumquat. Fig was thick and every bite was greeted with bits of the fig seeds. There might have been some rasberries in it for the acidity.

After all these years walking past this place, I don’t believe I havent tried it before.
