Gelato Ice Cream


It's been a while since the Lecka Lecka came to town and I've yet to try until last weekend.
We walked in being the first customers and the business is always slow everyday. I'm not too sure about during the night since this is a bar & restaurant, not an ice cream kiosk. They have liquor and bartender at the counter.

My first Lecka Lecka experience was in 2004 back in 1U. I didn't had lunch and was hungry and I think I grabbed tiramisu or that sort of brand in a small plastic cup.
I saw this promotion at the banner, RM9.90+ set lunch so I wanted to try so badly hoping that they would have some creativity in their cooking and presentation. The fish & chip was reasonably standard, chicken chop was humongous, and the jumbo sausage was cut into small pieces. We gave our suggestions to the chef not to chop his sausage but to present it as it is.
The dessert was little cups of Lecka Lecka Oreo and Cafe.

We wanted to try more, so we took flavours of chocolate, caribbean mix and amarena.
With only RM9.90, it came like a big chunk in a small sundae cup. The store manager (I think) was generous in scooping out the gelato.
Amarena sounded so much like macarena and it looked so much like blueberry vanilla and we were all shocked that it was ALMOND ice cream? I had durian , green tea and etc etc.. but never, ever ALMOND!! wow.... it really tasted like ALMOND.
and... guess what... the chocolate tasted like Van Houten chocolate powder.....
and mango tasted like MANGO??? hahaha.
and.. carribean mix tasted like mixture of fruits, passion fruit, pineapple and mango (I thinK!!)
I do wonder how they maintaned and preserved the taste?

They got frying pan too...

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
