As usual, outfitted in my school uniform, I felt out of place mingling with the suit-wearing executives while making my way to the shop at Market Street Car Park (near Lau Pa Sat). I could feel the eyes on me as I stepped into the cozy shop... but after walking up to the counter, I soon found myself at ease. Nothing beats friendly, smiley staff who're willing to let you try many flavors as you like! In fact, while handing me the samples of the flavors I had requested to try, the lady at the counter actually gave me samples of several other recommended flavors as well.
Nut Chocolate + Yogurt ($5.20)The consistency of Frigidarium's gelato really hit the spot. As you may be able to see from the picture above, it's silky smooth and soft, with a light, velvet-like mouthfeel! Lovely stuff. Perhaps it's also due to the fact that the gelati here is made fresh daily. You also be able to see that the gelato here has little air incorporated into it, giving rise to a dense and creamy texture.
Frigidarium is unmistaketably a great place to check out for very good authentic gelato. Being the supplier of gelato to Ristorante da Valentino and Capricci, you are bound to be satisfied with the delicious creams at Frigidarium! That being said, I still like the richer and somewhat ice-cream-like texture from the gelato(?) at Galta very much.
Fabulous flavors + excellent texture (+great service) makes a fantastic pair. I'll surely drop by Frigidarium again! Boy, I'm sure jealous of the people who work in the vicinity of the this marvelous find..

ReplyDeleteWhat are the prices like?
i can't remember the exact price, but i think a double scoop cost $3.90 or $4.90.
ReplyDeleteYay, found your blog! =D
ReplyDeletelol :D
ReplyDeleteAnother place to try! Too many things to eat.
ReplyDeleteI think gelato should taste like this, a little "icy" but in a good way leaving a clean mouthfeel. Some recipes even call for no cream. Galta's very creamy, more ice cream than gelato.
I tried Tom's pistachio yesterday. It's really awesome, very fragrant & nutty, you'll love it. Go try. (:
ice: yup my list of eateries to check out keeps getting longer and longer!
ReplyDeletei've just tried tom's pistachio today too! chronos mentioned that they were experimenting with pistachio nuts from iran today, while the usual version is made from pistachio nuts from italy. i haven't tried the original version, but today's was very enjoyable indeed. chronos mentioned that italian nuts will be used the next time pistachio is on their online calendar though.
have you tried tom's chocolate sorbetto? i sampled it today, and it'll be available for a month starting from friday.
i liked it a lot cos it was intense and unadulteratedly chocolately! it's also not heavy cos there's no milk or cream at all. perfect, cos i like chocolate but i don't usually take to chocolate ice-cream for the above reason.
hey dear, I was there yesterday & the pistachio I tried was the same iranian pistachio ice cream you had today. The Italian pistachio version is also very good. Yups, I tried the chocolate sorbet, not too bad but I still prefer their other flavors, especially my "secret only-for-me special edition" one hah! (:
ReplyDeleteI tried their gelato today and I must agree with you that it was really awesome! Thumbs up for the nut flavor (hazelnut & pistachio) which I tried :) And seems like you love tom's palette as much as i do. hehe
