Ice + Slice Gelato

We headed here after our dinner at Peasants Feast.

Taste

I had a 3 cone gelato with walnut, coconut and tiramisu ($5.80), Slokky had a 3 cone gelato with turkish delight, cinnamon and pistachio ($5.80). The good thing was we got to taste test the flavours before we ordered, so we didn't pick any dud ones. There were some not so impressive ones (like hazelnut), but remember we are gelato connoisseurs after our Italy trip. All the flavours we ordered were top notch! The most impressive was the turkish delight, not only for being innovative but also that it wasn't that sweet and captured the turkish delight taste, not to mention the really appealing baby pink colour!. I was quite impressed because they also had other cool flavours like green apple + ginger and strawberry + balsalmic, which you don't get in typical gelato store, and the quality of the ingredients were great. How much ice-cream you get though, depends on which waiter you get. Tsa got an ok 3 scoop, but Slokky and I were lucky and got huge scoops!

Look

The seating was comfy, the gelato displayed seductively, the decor modern. How can gelato look bad?

C-factor

The place was cosy, cool and quite popular. We got 25% off with our e-card voucher, and Luke & Tsa got their desserts for free due to the inadequacy of the staff, so all in all, we got a good deal.
