If only I could afford to buy a pint of Haagen Dazs for my weekly fix then I would be in heaven. Unfortunately, a pint of it can buy me a gallon(or more) of other brands so I don’t splurge unless there is a special occasion.

The alternative, although not exactly cheaper would be to get yourself a scoop or two from a gelato stand. And no worries, a lot of these stands can now be found in most malls around the metro. From Gelatone, Amici, Fiorgelato, and then there’s Dolce Gelato.

I learned about Dolce Gelato through a comment in this blog early this year but it was only last month that I got to try it out. I was hoping to get to taste the famous Ferrero Rocher flavor but it was out of stock during my visit. I opted to try Nutella instead. The flavor of the ice cream was intense, like eating frozen nutella spooned from its container. There was more flavor than ice cream, if you get what I mean. It was easy to forget your diet in all the deliciousness but their sign says “half the fat but double the flavor” after all. The only downside that I saw was that it did melt quicker than I had expected, or maybe it was just too hot that day.

A small cup of gelato costs Php 60.00, a price I could afford to splurge on especially when I am with my hubby and kids. And personally, a burst of intense flavor in ice cream form is too tempting for me to resist. Dolce Gelato is located in SM Mall of Asia but they just opened another stall at Alabang Town Center a few weeks ago so that is good news for all those who live down South.

Whew! Now I am totally craving for some gelato!
