One would think that after 4 single cups of coconut and lime gelato from Swirl over 3 days, I would stay away from gelato till I hit the gym another 10 times. Yes, one would think. But yesterday, I wasn't thinking...

Walked past Haato and thought "Ah, another gelato shop" so I ignored it and went to the Epicentre. Then on my way out of Wheelock, I passed Haato again - but this time, my friend said "hey! Gelato!".

So I thought, "ok, no harm just tasting....can't be good anyway". So I tried the green tea (don't feel like green tea today), the chocolate banana (not bad, interest level picking up), the lychee sorbet (BING! BING! BING! We have a winner!).

I'm a big fan of lychee and the way I rate sorbets is based on how accurate the described flavour is replicated in the sorbet form. And today, I was struck at how strong the lychee taste came across in the seemingly low key gelato. Taking a close look, I even saw strands of lychee fibre (the red color "vein") that reminded me of the lychee fruit.

Throwing the diet and rubbish "hit the gym 10 times before I can have another gelato" into the wind, I ordered the lychee sorbet and chocolate banana and didn't regret it...till today when I had to do 50 minutes of cardio to burn off the sugar.

The chocolate banana gelato was creamier than the usual gelato, but I quite liked the taste of the gelato to not mind the extra fat I was consuming. In fact, the chocolate banana gelato was wiped out before the lychee sorbet (I had two flavours in a double cup).

So there, Haato...great job with the lychee. I like-ee!
