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.

4,084 thoughts on “Gelatissimo @ Penang Gurney Plaza

  1. Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at suncoveartisanexchange extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.

  2. Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at skyharborcommercegallery only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.

  3. Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at globalgoodsarena kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.

  4. Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at kivmora 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.

  5. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to cottonbrookvendorfoundry kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  6. Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at galafactor added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.

  7. Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at brightharborvendorhall continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.

  8. Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at goldencoveartisanexchange reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

  9. 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 suncoveartisanexchange 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.

  10. Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after kivmora 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.

  11. Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at brightharborvendorhall confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.

  12. Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at goodscarthub continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.

  13. Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at goldencoveartisanexchange 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.

  14. More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at dunecovevendoratelier 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.

  15. Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at cloudcovegoodsgallery did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.

  16. Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at birchharborvendorroom continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.

  17. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at wildorchardartisanexchange pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  18. Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at kettleharbormarkethouse produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.

  19. Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at createforwarddirection reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.

  20. A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at dunecovevendoratelier continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.

  21. Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at zencovegoodsroom produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.

  22. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at wildorchardartisanexchange only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  23. Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at birchharborvendorroom suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.

  24. Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at goodscarthub similarly rewarded careful reading from the start, content where every paragraph carries weight is content I now know to read from the beginning rather than skipping ahead.

  25. Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at caramelcovecraftcollective kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.

  26. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at cloudcovegoodsgallery reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  27. Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after birchbrookvendorfoundry I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.

  28. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at kettleharbormarkethouse drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.

  29. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at caramelcovecraftcollective added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

  30. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at createforwarddirection confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  31. Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at birchbrookvendorfoundry 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.

  32. Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at linenmeadowmarkethall extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.

  33. Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at cloudcovegoodsroom kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

  34. A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at linenmeadowmarkethall maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.
