GELATO IS HAPPINESS CONDENSED!
If there is one dessert that you should have anytime, any day, it's gotta be Gelato! Was glad to be invited to the Gelato Tasting Session held at +39 Gelato Bar whereby I learnt so much about Gelato and got to taste the really smooth and yummy gelato. By the time I left this place, I am fully convinced that Gelato and ice-cream is different.
+39 Gelato Bar officially opens its door in March this year in the vibrant Boat Quay district. Trailblazing its way into one of Singapore's most bustling area comprising of office towers, high end restaurants, alfresco dining and lively bars & pubs, +39 Gelato Bar is set to indulge customers and all gelato lovers with the real taste of Italian indulgence and into the world of artisanal gelato.
STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT IS THE MAIN REASON FOR THE SMOOTH GELATO TEXTURE
Chef Jacopo Quaglia, director & Gelato Coach mentioned that for the first time ever in the Asia Pacific region, IdeaTre machine from Carpigiani were being used to mix, churn, freeze and store the gelato. He further explained that they are able to serve gelato straight from the cylinder, thus the gelato remains smooth and fresh. Another great function is that all the different cylinder is independent so that he can set different temperature for the different ingredients. Shall not go into the technical details of which ingredients freeze at what temperature, etc. That's for the chef to know, and for us to taste.
100% NATURAL, HEALTHY AND DELECTABLE PURE PLEASURE
Gelato can be define as a pure pleasure, it's something that you put into your mouth and you don't have to chew to enjoy it. The gelato here are lovingly made fresh every day, the different flavours are 100% natural, using the high quality and exquisite ingredients sourced both locally and from the home of gelato, Italy. +39 Gelato Bar ensures that it uses no added flavourings, colours, preservatives or chemical additives of any kind, adding to gelato's reputation as a 100% healthy and delectable pleasure. Here's Chef Stefano Cadorin showing us the vanilla bean that were used to make the vanilla gelato.
MAKING OF THE STRAWBERRY CINNAMON SORBET
Live demonstration of how the machine works. Tried serveral flavours of the gelato including the most well-liked pistachio, hazelnut, vanilla, mango sorbet and strawberry cinnamon. The texture of the gelato here is really smooth and the flavours changes daily so you have to check what is available. I like the Strawberry Cinnamon which really has a very rich strawberry taste. The cinnamon essence was the after-taste.
APEROL FROZEN SPRITZ
While most places serves gelato with waffles, here at +39 Gelato Bar, they pair it with alcohol. In their unique version of the classic Italian cocktail named Aperol Spritz, they use sorbet made from Aperol and top it with Prosecco wine and a slice of orange. It's a rather acquired taste of sour, bitter and sweet.
WAFFLES WITH GELATO
The waffle here is oh-so-crispy but a little burnt at the side. Amazingly, the waffles did not turn soggy even with the two scoop of gelato on top. It was said that no sugar was added to make the waffle. The chef is still getting feedback on the shape of their waffles, would it be better if it's a squarish type or the more traditional circle type.
GELATO SANDWICH
Gelato in a bun. This is really a very interesting creation.
