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. 🙂 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.

4,000 thoughts on “Gelatissimo @ Penang Gurney Plaza

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

  2. Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after junipercoveartisanexchange I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.

  3. 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.

  4. Refreshing to find writing that does not try to manipulate the reader into clicking onto the next page through cliffhangers and forced engagement, and a stop at granitegrovegoroom continued in the same respectful way, this is what reader first design actually looks like in practice rather than just in marketing copy that sounds nice.

  5. Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at globebeats extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.

  6. Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at junipercoveartisanexchange extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.

  7. I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at berrycovecraftcollective added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.

  8. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at crystalcovevendorworkshop added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

  9. Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at berrycovecraftcollective kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.

  10. Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at crystalcovevendorworkshop extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.

  11. Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to trailharborcraftcollective maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.

  12. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at snowcovecraftcollective reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.

  13. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at windharbortradehall produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

  14. Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at iciclebrookmarketroom produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.

  15. The post made the topic feel approachable without making it feel trivial, that is a fine balance, and a stop at snowcovecraftcollective maintained the same balance, finding the middle ground between welcoming and serious is genuinely difficult and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently hit it well across many different posts.

  16. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at garnetharborartisanexchange extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

  17. Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at trailharborcraftcollective suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.

  18. More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at sageharborgoodsgallery confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.

  19. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at harborstonevendorhall continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

  20. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at globalcartcorner carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.

  21. Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at windharbortradehall confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.

  22. The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at sageharborgoodsgallery kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

  23. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at garnetharborartisanexchange extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

  24. If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at harborstonevendorhall reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.

  25. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at iciclebrookmarketroom carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  26. Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at wheatcoveartisanexchange added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.

  27. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at goldenbuycenter adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.

  28. Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at pineharbortradehall 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.

  29. Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at globalcartcorner continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.

  30. Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at wheatcoveartisanexchange reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.

  31. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at goldenbuycenter confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  32. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at freshcarthub adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  33. Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at trailharbormerchantgallery confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.

  34. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through chestnutharbortradeparlor I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  35. Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at pineharbortradehall added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.

  36. Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at trailharbormerchantgallery reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.

  37. Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at tealcoveartisanexchange extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.

  38. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at graniteorchardgoodsroom prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  39. Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at frostcoast confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.

  40. Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at freshcarthub confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.

  41. Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at coralbrooktradingfoundry extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.

  42. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at tealcoveartisanexchange added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

  43. Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at chestnutharbortradeparlor reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.

  44. Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at graniteorchardgoodsroom continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.

  45. Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at calmcoveartisanexchange 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.

  46. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at gemcoasts confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  47. Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at frostcoast extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.

  48. Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at calmcoveartisanexchange similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.

  49. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at coralbrooktradingfoundry continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.

  50. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at discovernewfocus 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.
