Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Palazzo del Freddo

One of my favorite gelato spots in Korea is Palazzo that has branches all around Seoul with quick stops in the famous shopping areas. A quick pick me up can have you going with a variety of flavors that you cannot find elsewhere. Their flavors vary from day to day with flavors that cater to the taste of foreigners as well as Koreans. The textures of the gelato depend on the flavor that they use with some being extremely thick and others that just simply melt in your mouth.

My ultimate favorite is sesame. Whipped up fresh, it is a full blast of sesame flavor and is so smooth that it just melts in your mouth. For just $2.50 a cone or to be neater to have it in a cup, you definitely can't go wrong with a quick sweet tooth pick me up! One of the most popular ones is Stracciatella among the locals which is another flavor that will melt with each bite. For those who are looking for something more flavorful and thick, definitely go for their chocolate. It is a darker infused chocolate with a taste so creamy and thick that you do want to savor every bite!

Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Patisserie

When visiting Hong Kong, it is a must to visit the neighboring islands, especially Macau because it is the mini Las Vegas. When in Macau, I stumbled upon Patisserie-practically the best cafe in Macau, is located in the basement floor of the Macau Tower. This cafe is my all time favorite for having all of the must have desserts which include cakes, macarons, ice creams, egg tarts, breads, candies and so much more! With every type of food being on point, it is a must visit for all individuals. You will be able to find your sweet tooth satisfaction or even something to satisfy your stomach.

The must have is the Portuguese egg tart which is served hot and fresh. A few additional recommendations to make is the blueberry cheesecake which lives up to its name with a creamy cheesecake texture full of taste infused with blueberries. The red velvet is another popular dessert and it is on point with a moist red cake, but there maybe a little too much cheese cake frosting which can be overpowering for many. Furthermore, macarons and other freshly baked pastries are available as well. 

Patisserie is actually a cafe for all three or even four, five meals of the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea time, desserts, can all be consumed here. Every meal is filling and on point, a great place to visit when in Macau.

With almost 200 flavors, il laboratorio del gelato was opened back in August 2002. It wasn’t until a late night out around the area that I discovered this amazing gelato shop with an open view kitchen. I was attracted to this corner store with bright lights which I ended up finding out was a gelato shop.

For a first timer at il laboratorio del gelato, I was amazed by the numbers of flavors and I wanted to try everything. Limited to just two tries per person, I was a little sad but I was still happy with my choices. I just wish I would’ve went earlier to try out their other flavors, there was so much that I wanted. Being the fatty that I am, I shared a large container for the price of $10.50 with my partner in crime, ordering flavors of: sesame, toasted sesame, toasted coconut and maple. Maple was a little too sweet for our tastes, but everything was amazing! With a small starting at the price of $3, you should probably drop by and give it a try!

I am looking forward to trying out the other flavors that I missed out on this time and even ordering a cake for the whole family. il laboratorio del gelato has contained gelatos that are ready to go. You may have seen these packaged goodies in locations like Murray’s Cheese, Dean & Dulca, Bierkraft, One Girl Cookies, and Foragers Market.
