Is there a difference between ice cream and gelato? This was my first thought when my friend brought me to her favorite gelato store called CARAMIA. Well, both look alike however upon checking their definitions, gelatos have lesser cream and more milk thus lower in fat. Not that it matters as long as it quench my cravings for something sweet.
Although they have many branches, the one we visited was in Uptown Mall, 36th St. Taguig, Metro Manila. Simple and bright would be the terms to describe this little store.
When I got near the gelato display, my heart leaped for joy. My smile was cheek to cheek as I had a sensory visual overload seeing all the different flavors they have.
We chose the largest cup size which costs Php 205 or $3.72 and that already includes 3 flavors of gelato... To be honest, it took me a long time to pick out what flavors to try!
Cookie Mudslide didn't look enticing to me compared to the Cookie Dough...
Cookies and Cream is a flavor I'm used to when buying ice cream. I wanted to try something new...
Pistachio sounds so unique and I know it would give a contrasting flavor to the first flavor I chose which was the chocolate truffle.
Another flavor I picked was the strawberry supreme, only because it will give me so much sweetness.
For ube lovers, don't fret! they have Ube with White Chocolate which looked mouthwatering.
On my next visit, I'm getting the Blueberry Cheesecake. But I really don't understand why other people love Mint-flavored ice cream. 😅 Unusual but I just don't like it.
I would also have wanted to get the Turtle Pie (chocolate, caramel, pecan, and graham) since chocolate flavors are my favorite.
They also serve Gelato Shakes which I should try next time.
While waiting for my cup of gelato and my friend paying for it, I also checked on the beautiful cakes that they have on display...
Check out this chocolate java...
The Strawberry Shortcake looks so fun! This would be perfect for a kiddie's party.
This is my first time encountering Smores on top of a cake!!!
The classic Ube and Mango cakes...
Pisctaccio Cioccolato... I would want this for my birthday soon!
After a few minutes, the lady then handed me a cup of chocolate therapy, strawberry supreme, and pistachio...
I then slowly tasted each flavor which was so rich. The texture was so smooth and I could say it is much more creamy than a normal ice cream! I finally could understand why Caramia was my friend's favorite go-to gelato store. And now, I think it's my favorite too.
Unfortunately, they don't have a branch in Cebu yet so it might take me some time to try the other flavors but I'm definitely coming back for this one.
Tell me, which flavor would you have tried?
