Alfero Artisan Gelato - Even the godfather loves it

*Food Tasting*

Why does Alfero Artisan Gelato not display their flavours? How would I know which flavour to choose? How would I know If I could ask for a sample anot? Many of these thoughts came to my mind when I walk pass Alfero everytime. Why only their shop cover up their ice creams like they are selling Soup instead?

Well, Marco Alfero, founder and owner of Alfero Gelato, came from Turin, Italy to Singapore in October 2009 to deliver us “il paradiso” (“heaven” in Italian). Made using only the finest quality ingredients imported from Italy and other parts of Europe, Alfero Gelato is stored in pozzetto cabinets where exposure to light and air is greatly reduced, thus ensuring the smoothness and quality of the ice cream.

 Marco believes in serving only the best-tasting gelato to his customers, which is why he is the only man in Singapore who keeps his gelato covered while on display (unlike other ice cream cafes which display their products in full glory while compromising on taste and texture of their creams). This brave move and unique concept will certainly delight customers, as the difference is certainly unmistakable and almost impossible to miss. 

A Pretty good menu with Waffles(my favourite item on menus), Pastries and also Coffee and Tea.

And here you go, my first cup of Alfero Gelato, Smooth texture and full of flavour. No artificial colourings, you are getting the real colour of the ingredients used in creating the gelato. With ingredients specially sourced from different parts of italy and europe, you can ensure that you are getting every cents worth!

An Affogato means "drowned" in Italian, which is a coffee base beverage where it usually is a scoop of ice cream/gelato paired with a shot of espresso, you then "drown" the scoop of deliciously sweet ice cream with the shot of espresso to achieve another level of flavour. At Alfero Gelato, they recommend the Durian gelato to go with the Espresso shot, a very unique pairing but surprisingly good.

And a visit to any gelato shop will never be complete without ordering a Waffle. Toasty and Fluffy Waffle, topped with freshly made Gelato. My choice of the day was their crowd favourite Bacio and Pistachio. Bacio is the ice cream version of ferror rocher, as explained by the staff, making it irresistible to anyone who is a fan of the nutty, chocolately flavour. The Pistachio Gelato is made from the pistachio that Marco specifically chosen to ensure the premium taste.

I'll definitely be back for more Gelato and only at Alfero Gelato! Their commitment to premium ice cream quality is very attractive,

LadyM Confections at Marina Square Dining Edition

I'm secretly thinking that Singaporean might just love their desserts as much as Chilli Crab and Chicken Rice.

With the wide variety of Dessert places opening in Singapore, It hard to resist stepping into one of them and feast our eyes on the beautifully made desserts which tantalize our taste buds. So I headed down to LadyM's to try out their much raved about Mille Crepe Cake and many other.

By the looks of this cake already tells you how much work is taken to create the cubes and placing them together with the cream and covered with chocolate ganache. Moist cakes in two different chocolatey flavour, White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate, While having their difference, they blend together well and it's a joy for all to taste.

Do not be intimidated by the thick layer of cream on this strawberry short cake, the layers of alternating Strawberries and cake will make up for the cream on top. Strawberries are not exactly the sweetest but not to the extend of being too sour for my liking. Soft Spongy layer of cake is infused with strawberry flavour which made me fall in love with the whole cake although the layer of cream could be lessen.

This Seemingly Normal Mango Tart is more than meets the eye. A Layer of passionfruit custard as base, topped with freshly sliced & diced mangos on a fragrant yet crumbly Tart Base. This is definitely my favourite slice of dessert that night. Just the right amount of sweet and Sour and the smooth custard just makes this dessert a "Black Horse" among all the others .

And the star of LadyM, The Mille Crepe. Each piece of crepe is paper thin & Carefully layered with even amount of cream, VIOLA, The recent craze in the dessert world is born. Although seemingly simple presentation, this crepe cake is sweeping every lady off their feet because of the fragrant crepe layers that is coated with sinful yet enjoyable cream inbetween, keeping the crepe moist at the same time, every mouthful is a delight as the cake slowly melts on the tongue. As I'm typing this I am already missing it..

Be sure to arrive before 8pm if you wish to see a full array of desserts on display as the queue can start to build up after that and the popular desserts might be sold out. I like how LadyM's dining space is clean and clear. Somehow it makes their desserts stand out even more. Its like there is a little splash of colour on each customer's table, making the place more beautiful.

Bangkok Jam - The Dining Edition at Marina Square

Bangkok Jam, Upon Hearing the Name you would know 1. It serves up Thai Food. 2. It's Jamming with the Thai Music(or the bustling crowd). Haha. I love their Decorations more at their Plaza singapura Outlet but this Outlet in Marina Square is pretty unique itself. With World Clocks Hanging on the walls, I took the time while waiting for my food to look at each and everyone of them facing me.

I simply love my rice with any saucy meat dishes. This Aromatic Stir-Fried Minced Chicken was so good! Packed with enough flavour of Spiciness and Saltiness, Added Crunch with the chopped greens. Topped with a Flowly Yolk Sunny Side Up, I enjoyed every mouthful of my dinner.

Stir-Fried Minced Chicken with Basil Rice - $11.90

Phad Kra Prow Gai

While Everyone would Crave for Phad Thai Once in a while, this plate of phad thai does not look as good as it is, unfortunately. The Noodles were a little on the though side and the whole dish was too spicy for me and my dinner companion to handle. Although the Free Ice/Warm water did help to ease up the spiciness a little. But do not take my judgement for spiciness to gauge. I cant take spicy food for nuts know why, same goes to my companion.

Seafood Phad Thai - $11.90

Phad Thai Talay

Well, I would not Not visit Bangkok Jam with Judging with this 1 visit alone. I will definitely head back to try other dishes, maybe just not the Phad thai anymore. Being under the umbrella of CrEATive Eateries, They must be good as the other restaurants under them are pretty good themselves, naming a few like Suki-Ya, which serves up Japanese Steamboat Shabu Shabu and Xiao La Jiao, Serving up authentic Sze Chuan Dishes which will make you ponder why other Sze Chuan Cuisine Outlets keep serving nothing but spicy and more spicy food.
