I sampled the Stracciatella, Fior de Latte, Pistachio and Almond and eventually settled for a single scoop of Pistachio gelato ($3.90). With two scoops going for $4.50 and three for $5.20, I definitely would have gotten myself a triple treat if not for my mild flu :/Darn, I should have just gotten three scoops anyway. Spooning a generous spoonful of Galto's gelato in my mouth left my tastebuds singing for joy! I savored every bit of this lusciously smooth and indulgently rich goodness. Mmmm I'll
Darn, I should have just gotten three scoops anyway. Spooning a generous spoonful of Galto's gelato in my mouth left my tastebuds singing for joy! I savored every bit of this lusciously smooth and indulgently rich goodness. Mmmm I'll definitely drop by everytime I attend a concert at the nearby Esplanade (I timed, it's 10 mins away if you brisk walk.) While I certainly enjoyed the intense, nutty pistachio flavour, it's the silky rich texture of Galto's gelato that I'm most impressed by.
On another visit, I tried the Stracciatella gelato and apricot sorbet. Galta's version of the former used to feature delightfully crunchy chocolate balls in creamy milk gelato, but it has now revamped its Stracciatella to the authentic version. Now, it contains chocolate shavings instead of chocolate balls. Pistachio firmly remains as my favorite, but as with Galta's other milk-based flavors, this gelato was uber smooth and creamy. Joy!
Perhaps Galta should come up with another flavor featuring those chocolate balls. They really provide a nice contrast to the rich gelato.
On to the oh-so-very fruity apricot flavor! Every spoonful delivered an intense burst of the robust flavor of this golden stone fruit. Equally tasty was the apple (apple nola?) sorbet which I sampled. Galta's fruit-based flavors are refreshing and much lighter than their indulgent milk-based counterparts. They'll suit who're looking for a lighter treat.
While termed as gelato, Galta's version is actually closer to ice-cream as it is rich and dense. Oh well, I still love it anyway!
