Since Penang Gurney Plaza has its new wing, this is the 3rd or 4th time I step into it. I seldom go to Gurney Plaza because Queensbay Mall is nearer to me. Most of the time, I will only go to Gurney Plaza for some purpose: gathering with friends, go to the Popular Bookstore, watch movie in GSC or go for a food review. This time, for sure I am going for a review. It’s an invited session by Jason and Gelatissimo.

Gelatissimo is a small shop lot along the Gurney Place. It is the at the end if you are walking from Winter Warmers. If you are coming out from the new wing, it is the first shop lot, just beside Manila Place.


History of Gelato

After reading the history, do you actually know what is the difference between an ice cream and gelato? If you ask me, I have totally no idea. In fact, I just knew about gelato years back when I am in US. My brother treated me. That is the very first time I have gelato.
Differences between Ice Cream and Gelato (taken from sandwhy.com):
1. Overrun” (or aeration) of gelato, which is a lot less then ice cream – resulting in a more solid, richer texture (air content in gelato can be as low as 15%, air content in ice cream can go up to 50%).
2. Gelato is not frozen as solidly as ice cream, giving it a smoother, creamier feel.
3. The amounts of basic ingredients found in both – milk/cream, sugar, sometimes eggs – differ slightly also, with gelato having only milk (or water, depending on the flavor) or milk and a little cream, which not only means less fat (2-8% fat vs.the16-20% found in ice creams), but it means the added flavorings are the real star, not the dense, fat-laden cream (nothing against fat-laden cream, mind you) which can cover delicate and subtle flavors.
4. Gelato is usually made in small batches, and usually made with seasonal ingredients, resulting in much fresher flavors.
In short,
GELATO = less fat + no air added = rich creamier taste (taken from WorldOfIceCream.com)
Clear now? I hope so. π OK, back to Gelatissimo.
On the side of the shop lot, you can see the menu.


Currently, Gelatissimo is having promotion conjunction with the Mega Sale Carnival.

These are the cups used by Gelatissimo. The red is for 1 flavor cup, green for 2 flavors cup and blue for 3 flavors cup. Cone is also available if you don’t like the gelato to beΒ in a cup.

Tada……. Proudly present the Gelatissimo’s Gelato. There are so many flavors. Looks tempting right?

The owner, Mr Hong let us tried out the Affogato as well.

Gelatissimo Mango Shake. Very nice!

Regular version of the shakes.

Mango Gelato. Oh…. Mango! I’m loving it!

Green Tea & Belgian Chocolate Gelato. I can finish them within seconds!

Staffs from Gelatissimo. On the most right is the boss. All the staffs are friendly. You can hear a loud greeting “Hi” and “Welcome”, if you go near to their shop lot.


Before going back, I bought my self a take away pack – 650cc. Guess what are the 2 flavors I chose?

Nice bag for the take away pack.

Thanks Foodpromotions for the address.
Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to packpeak confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at ultrashophub added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at intentionalstyleandhome extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at xarvilo extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at buyvilo suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.

Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at ultrashophub added some angles I had not considered yet, definitely walking away with more than I came for which is the best outcome from time spent reading online for any kind of topic.
The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at packpeak continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.
A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at xarvilo maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.
I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at fibergrid the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.
Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at intentionalstyleandhome rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at shopzaro kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at fibergrid reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at shopzaro confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at gemglobe fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at havenfoam added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at hickorygrid kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.
Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at gemglobe continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at jadeflax suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at havenfoam confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.
Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at windyforestfinds continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at morxavi confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at ygavexaudition2024 furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.
Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at hickorygrid confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at northvendor was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at jadeflax hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at qelmizo suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.
Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at luxmixo reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at windyforestfinds extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at ygavexaudition2024 suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.
During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at eastglaze continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.
Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at northvendor added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.
A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at luxmixo maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at morxavi kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at oakarenas expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at urbanvo extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at gladhalo reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.
Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at wattarc extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.
Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at milknorth added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.
