Ice cream heaven

I bought a half kilo of ice cream and gelato today to celebrate the return of my sense of taste after a bad bout of the flu. The best Italian ice cream in town set me back by a whopping 43 pesos (US$10)!

and a complimentary sampling of apple

While ostensibly about ice cream, this post could also be aptly titled "Latin men heaven".

At the ice cream parlor, a 6' 2'' footballer-lookalike opened the door for me, and not because I was looking hot myself! Two strapping grown men eating ice cream together in public, and to open the door for me on my worst-looking day ever (sans make-up, in glasses, sneakers) - what is there not to love about Latin men?

  2. 這邊冰淇淋的口味繁多(不過沒有舊金山的花俏/奇特),gelato是我的最愛!

  3. The ice cream flavours in Argentina sound very fresh and authentic. does that mean the weird/different ones in San Francisco are not as scrumptious...? Or is it just gelato in Argentina, and no ice-cream? Gelato is denser, so the flavour is much more intense.

  4. SF ice cream is different, but not as 原味, I would say. Interesting point you made about gelato being denser - because there's no milk and cream mixed in, right?

    Gelato is dense because of less amount of air churned in. And it uses milk more than cream. So yes it is slightly healthier!
