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.

  1. Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at tealcovecraftcollective 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.

  2. Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at elmbrooktradingfoundry kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

  3. Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at creekharborcraftcollective confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

  4. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at etherfairs extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  5. Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at skyharborcraftcollective kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  6. Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after quartzmeadowmarketgallery those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.

  7. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at ferncovecommerceatelier confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  8. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at goodslinkstore extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.

  9. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at executioncreatesconfidence carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.

  10. Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at apricotharborvendorloft maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.

  11. Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at executioncreatesconfidence extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.

  12. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at clippoises kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.

  13. Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at limvoro 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.

  14. Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at ivoryridgemarkethouse continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.

  15. Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at apricotharborvendorloft maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.

  16. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at silkmeadowvendorroom 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.

  17. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at limvoro suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  18. Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at coralharborartisanexchange extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  19. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at chestnutharborvendorstudio confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  20. Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at lakelake held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  21. Worth your time, that is the simplest endorsement I can give, and a stop at silkmeadowvendorroom extends that endorsement across the rest of the site, this is one of those increasingly rare places that delivers on what it promises rather than over selling the content and under delivering on substance every time which I find frustrating elsewhere.

  22. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at alpineharborvendorhall reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.

  23. Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at premiumflashhub only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

  24. Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at ferncovevendorlounge reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.

  25. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at cottongrovegoodsgallery confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  26. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at chestnutharborvendorstudio 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.

  27. A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at lakelake continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.

  28. I really like the calm tone here, it does not push anything on the reader, and after I went through premiumflashhub I felt the same way, just steady useful content laid out without drama, which is exactly what someone trying to learn something quickly needs to find rather than aggressive marketing.

  29. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after coralharborartisanexchange I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  30. I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at alpineharborvendorhall the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.

  31. Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at ferncovevendorlounge reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.

  32. Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at acornharbormerchantgallery continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.

  33. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at premiumbuyarena extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  34. Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at cottongrovegoodsgallery reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.

  35. Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at acornharbormerchantgallery continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.

  36. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at seacovevendorparlor 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.

  37. Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at premiumbuyarena confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.

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

  39. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at uplandcovecraftcollective extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  40. Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at seacovevendorparlor carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.

  41. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at crownharborvendorhall kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  42. Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at stoneharborcraftcollective showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.

  43. Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at uplandcovecraftcollective kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

  44. Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at crownharborvendorhall kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

  45. A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at progressstartshere only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.

  46. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at thinkclearlyact continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.

  47. Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at easycartonline confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.

  48. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at silvercovemarkethall continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

  49. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at clippoise 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.

  50. Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at progressstartshere extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.
