Galta Gelato II

My first venture at Galta's pistachio gelato left me very impressed. A return visit was definitely a must and hooray, an opportunity to get my hands on more of Galta's gelato presented itself before my cluster outing to Superbowl at Marina Square last week.

With the opening of Promenade Station, getting to Millenia Walk has become much more convenient too! Teehee, another reason for me to make my way there for my gelato fix :D

This time round, I chose to have Stracciatella gelato and Apricot sorbet.

Double scoop ($4.50)

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.

Footnote: After reading ice's comments and doing some reading up, I realized that Galta's gelato (?) should be classified as ice-cream. Gelato is semifrozen as it is stored at a lower temperature than ice-cream, giving rise to an exceptionally smooth and creamy texture and soft consistency. It is also denser as less air is incorporated into it. Due to the lower fat content in gelato, it's also less heavy and thick as compared to ice-cream.
