I only grudgingly bought the Rum and Raisin gelato only bcoz what I needed wanted wasn’t available at this takeaway outlet. Usually I would happily settle for my lofty soft serve vanilla from the counter by the river…coz yes…I’m sounding like a dowdy old bore again…but as many times as I have to repeat myself…I love to savor ice cream in its unadulterated state, hence vanilla is the natural choice for me anywhere and everywhere unless a flavor in particular has won me over wholly.

But alas! I realize my soft serve is exclusive only to that outlet which only means the insatiable hunger (for ice cream hee hee) in me needs to seek an alternative consolation. Settled for the rum and raisin after having an udderly utterly good one recently.

Yay! Glad I tried coz I like it instantly! Though not as boozy as the Haagen Daz interpretation, I like the smooth and creamy texture with nuances of iciness like how a good gelato should feel to the palate. Again I felt so sorry for the pitiful raisins, as they were heartlessly mutilated…but I’m not complaining anymore…coz they were aplenty! The ice cream is made from fragrant and rich Hokkaido milk, tasted so fresh and invigorating it’s just the right thingamabob for a midday, hot day…cool day…anywhatever-day intoxication. :)

hee…I got the Single Cone ($4.30) that day only coz I wanted a nice picture. :p But be forewarned! The servers don’t advocate serving the alcoholic flavor *yum* rum in a cone as it melts quicker than its non-alcoholic counterparts. But I was Firm. And so I got my tall order again.

And oh yes! It stood tall and hard. For a while. :)

O.M.G.A.W.D! I also fell deeply into the abyss of the Sea Salt and Caramel entrapment…it’s next by the way. keke Baffling Obsession...
