Gelatissimo @ Penang Gurney Plaza

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

img_4249

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. πŸ™‚ OK, back to Gelatissimo.

On the side of the shop lot, you can see the menu.

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.

3,965 thoughts on “Gelatissimo @ Penang Gurney Plaza

  1. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at canyonharborvendorparlor confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.

  2. Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to zencovegoodsgallery confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.

  3. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at fastgoodsbazaar extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  4. Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at autumncovevendorstudio reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.

  5. A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at forestcovevendorgallery continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

  6. Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at globalcartcenter extended that share urge, content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.

  7. Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at solarmeadowcommercegallery added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.

  8. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at goldenharbortradehall continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  9. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at zencovegoodsgallery maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  10. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at fastgoodsbazaar kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  11. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at honeycoveartisanexchange reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  12. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at autumncovevendorstudio reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  13. Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at fastbuystore kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.

  14. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to solarmeadowcommercegallery kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  15. Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after goldenharbortradehall I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

  16. A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at canyonharborvendorparlor extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.

  18. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at cloudcovecraftcollective extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  19. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at honeycoveartisanexchange maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  20. Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at bayharborartisanexchange extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.

  21. If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at snowcoveartisanexchange reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

  22. Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at tealharborvendorparlor continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.

  23. However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at cloudcovecraftcollective confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

  24. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at bayharborartisanexchange 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.

  25. Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at snowcoveartisanexchange continues the dense useful content across more pages, this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.

  26. Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at tealharborvendorparlor extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.

  27. Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at dunecovecraftcollective confirmed the same care, definitely the kind of place that deserves a return visit when the topic comes up again later in the future or for any related question.

  28. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at freshguild continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  29. Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at dunecovecraftcollective reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.

  30. Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at pebblepinevendorhall confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  31. Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at discoverfreshopportunities extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.

  32. The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at zencoveartisanexchange 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.

  33. If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at plumharborvendorroom confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.

  34. Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at freshguild extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.

  35. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at trailharborcommercegallery 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.

  36. Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at gladeridgemarketparlor got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.

  37. Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at pebblepinevendorhall continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.

  38. Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to plumharborvendorroom I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.

  39. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at acornharborartisanexchange extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  40. Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at fastpickzone did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.

  41. Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at zencoveartisanexchange did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.

  42. More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at gladeridgemarketparlor kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.

  43. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at discoverfreshopportunities kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  44. Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at coralmeadowcommercegallery 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.

  45. Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at acornharborartisanexchange added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

  46. The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at trailharborcommercegallery continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.

  47. Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at fastpickzone did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.

  48. Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at trailharborcommercegallery confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.

  49. The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at globebeats 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.

  50. Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at granitegrovegoroom kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
