Gelatissimo in Sydney

Sydney is the most populous city of Australia. The temperature of Sydney is between 13.78 and 21.68 degrees Celsius during year. Therefore, Sydney is cozy for people to travel around in any season. When I visited Sydney in 2012, the trip was in July, winter of south hemisphere. However, Sydney is not only warm but also shinny. Comparing the winter in Taipei, in Sydney, I’m willing to take a walk in the city rather than stay at home

The Sunshine of Winter in Sydney

If you are a person who like travel in slow pace and enjoy wandering around the city without specific destination, Sydney will be a great choice for you. Today, this essay is going to introduce a delicious dessert which you can eat easily when walking. It is ice cream! Ice cream is one of the cheapest food in Australia, for example the ice cream in Macdonald only costs 30 cents. Hence, there are always lots of people lining in front of the ice cream stand even though it is in winter.

This ice cream shop is called Gelatissimo, which sells Italian flavor ice cream. Gelatissimo is a multiple shop in Australia. One of my friend in Australia told me a romantic story of Gelatissimo: a couple, who were both love eating ice cream, found Gelatissimo after getting married. Although they divorced at the end, the ice cream brand still be very popular in everywhere I traveled in Australia. Due to their love story, the flavors of ice cream in Gelatissimo have some fancy name bout love, boy and girls, such as “you had me at hello” and “high heel”.

"You Had Me at Hello"

The first time I tasted the ice cream of Gelatissimo was near Darling Harbour, a famous scenic spot in Sydney.  After laying on the grass and having a sun bath at the afternoon of winter, I started to feel warm and I knew it is time to having an ice cream cone and wander around the harbor. Though Gelatissimo didn’t provide customers with comfortable dining space, it was still an enjoyment to eat ice cream on the stairs around the harbor. There were many different kinds of boat and ship. Seagulls were flying above the sea. Everything is peaceful and enjoyable.

The recipe of the ice cream is traditional Italian style. They make the ice cream with fruits on the selling day to make sure all of ice cream is fresh. Furthermore, the ice cream in Gelatissimo is less sweet just as the cake in Hopetun Tea Rooms in last post. The ice cream has the sense of multi-level, for instance, the chocolate flavor tastes bitter and sweet at the same time. 

At the end, Gelatissimo is a multiple shop, so now you have it a try even in Taiwan. Nonetheless, why I chose to introduce the Gelastissimo in Sydney? According to my personal experience, the tastes of ice cream of Gelatissimo will change with the locations. Once I tried it in Brisbane, it tasted much sweeter and I didn’t think it taste as awesome as the shop of Sydney. By the way, the Gelatissimo in New Zealand tasted great, too. I haven’t tried all of the shops in different locations, but I can promise the one in Sydney is perfect. Last but not least, the scenery and the weather are also the best. You must give it a try when arriving in Sydney!
