When looking for a sweet treat in Sydney, go to Messina for a scoop or two of their house-made, all natural gelato. This is what they say: “From the meticulous roasting and endless grind of pistachios, to the baking of our own apple pies and brownies, or to the sweet smell of stewed spiced rhubarb, absolutely everything is made lovingly in-house by our little team of mad professors.” Sounds good to me!

It’s a tiny and extremely packed shop. I literally had to squirm through the crowd in order to get in front of the gelato display!

Specials of the week, all look yum.

Oolala…

Le Creme Milano

Add: 173 Fumin Lu, near Julu Lu / 富民路173号, 近巨鹿路路
Tel: 5403 3918
Hours: [Mon-Fri] 1-10pm [Sat-Sun] 11am-10pm
Website: www.lecrememilano.com
Price: 25 RMB/small, 35 RMB/medium, 45 RMB/large

Le Creme Milano is a delightful gelato cafe on Fumin Lu serving classic favorites such as stracciatella and tiramisu as well as seasonal flavors like mango and lychee. Fresh, light, and (relatively) guilt-free. There are 12 different flavors that rotate weekly, and we tried almost everything before figuring out what our taste buds craved the most. Pick 2 flavors with a small cup (25 RMB), 3 flavors with a medium cup (35 RMB), or 4 flavors with a large cup (45 RMB).

What I learned: gelato contains less fat (around 7% versus the 20% of ice-cream) and feels softer and smoother on the tongue, though it’s actually denser than ice-cream because it contains less air as a result of the slower churning speed during production.
