Where we live here in Oz,we live amongst the Italian community and we have 5 gelaterias all within walking distance from our home. As we go for our daily walks, we walk through olive trees,orange,mandarin,cumquat and lemon trees, ,persimmon trees,backyards with tomato plants,beans,grapevines,etc. Recently,a panetonne shop opened and we have a ravioli/pasta factory close to us and lots of Italian delis around our area.We are blessed with a mediterrean climate – it’s like almost living in Italy.

Early morning today, horns were blaring and backyard firecrackers were set off as Italy won the world cup. I’m glad that it’s all over as we have spent many sleepless nights/early mornings watching the world cup this past month.

I still wish that the socceroos made it to the top,but,considering that they came from number 42 to the top 16 is a great achievement and we’re proud of them!

Congratulatios Azzuri! And hello MM!

Lei, I’m not sure if I have had Fiorgelato or not… but I have had Amici’s and its not bad though I think anyone who make gelato here must have problems finding good whole milk…preferably non-UHT or zapped milk. I have also had Pazzo gelato at the basement of rockwell and it is okay but not great. There was also an Italian restaurant on Reposo that had decent gelato…

so far the best gelato to be tasted here in the metro manila area is the one made by the italian priests at Amiche (don bosco makati), they also sell it by the scoop at the pricesmart outlet at pasong tamo…now i would have to get a few scoops from them just to sort of replicate MM’s gelato experience in Florence :)

My hubby and I have bought from Fiorgelato every now and then and we have always noticed the difference of their ‘ice cream’ from the very first time we tasted it. So now I know that there is really a distinction, in fact the term ‘ice cream’ is no longer applicable. Wow, thanks for the info MM. Btw, have you tried it, there are a couple of stalls in SM malls, and I was just wondering if this is the real gelato stuff or if they have tweaked it to local taste, like a little bit more air?

What do you think of our local gelato? There was a stall at the old greenbelt 3 food court that served gelato. I just can’t remember the name…

Mandy, would that be giusseppe’s? I haven’t been there, but it’s pretty popular in Cebu…
