The Best Gelato Flavor in the Metro

I'm no gelato connoisseur. I haven't even tried close to half of the gelatos available in the metro. But you just know when you've found THE one right? ;-) Well, I have. And it comes in the form of the Sans Rival gelato at Amici. Yum!!!

Come to think of it, I've never really tried sans rival in ice cream or gelato form. This is my first. And guess what. It works! The gelato in itself is smooth but the chunks and bits of wafer layer, peanuts, and butter cream icing gives it a lot of texture. The smoothness of the cream complements the texture given by the sans rival bits found in the gelato. The picture below will fool you. You'll think that it's all gelator cream. But when you take that bite, you'll be surprised to taste the generous chunks of sans rival hidden in the scoop! Each cup of this piece of heaven costs only P50. With that, you'll get a humongous scoop of the gelato. ;-) It tastes yummy, it's cheap, and hey, it's not as fattening as ice cream too! Yay!!! ;-)

You can buy Amici gelato in two places. We got ours from a stall on the second floor of Waltermart -- right across the grocery store. Waltermart can be found in the corner of Pasay Road and Pasong Tamo, Makati. Amici is not only known for their gelatos. They also serve authentic Italian pizzas and pastas. But you can only find this at their restaurant that's behind Don Bosco Church. From Waltermart, if you cross the street and walk half a block, you'll easily find it along Pasay Road too. The Amici restaurant has a greater variety of gelato flavors available. If you go to the Waltermart stall, they'll have about 15 there. And the flavors available may change on a daily basis. But so far, I've been lucky and the two times that I've gone to get Sans Rival gelato, they've had it! ;-)

When we go there, Jojo often goes for the "fruitier" gelatos. He got the watermelon one before and loved it! This time around, he got the Mango Jubilee gelato. He really liked it too and enjoyed the small bits of mango added in to the smooth cream. For our next visit, I plan to try the Espresso flavor and Jojo has his eye on the Chocolate with Nuts gelato. Oh and they also have gelatos with Italian names. I honestly don't know what they are. But we plan to try all of those too in our successive visits. ;-) I've no doubt that they will be good. I'll just have to resist getting Sans Rival gelato again though. I'll need to try the other flavors too! ;-)
