We were intending to head to the Tea Party but didn't realise that they are closed on Tuesdays. As a backup plan, I remembered this Italian gelato place at Guthrie House (just round the corner) where I bought a few tubs of ice-cream quite a few years ago.
I've never actually dined in at this place and the hard steel chairs were definitely quite different from the soft suede sofas at the Tea Party but since we were up for some form of dessert, in we went.
As with most gelato joints, they have quite a wide selection of flavors ranging from the simple chocolate and vanilla to the more exotic (local?) ones such as durian.
We weren't exactly feeling adventurous tonight so we went for the "safe" flavors of chocolate, rum and raisin and durian. The durian looked "yellow" at the counter but it appeared as white as paper when it was served. The color was so dubious that it prompted my dining companion to ask the waitress, "Are you sure this is durian?" Well, first taste proved that it was durian, but it's a light sort of durian-taste, not too bad a dessert to initiate first-time durian eaters to I reckon. The chocolate was decent and so was the rum and raisin. The waffle was not bad but I still prefer the batter used at Gelare's.D
