I now want me some gelato.
Very excited about Grom. I have only heard great things about its other locations. Hopefully it will be a great addition to Emack and Venchi!
I eat a ton of ice cream. and really, pretty much any and all frozen desserts. i haven't had any problems.
i mean, since my arrival in HK 2+ years ago, I did get food poisoning once. I'm pretty sure that was from a western pizza place in TST, possibly from their bruschetta. to be fair, i had had a frozen dessert that night as well.
but i doubt a week's gone by where i haven't had any frozen desserts, and come summer it's several per day, all up-and-down the price & quality scale. to be sure, there are times in Feb/March where you look at the popsicles in the supermarket freezer section and you know they've been there since September, so I stay away from those.
I like XTC. Or I make my own. Have a nifty ice-cream maker. Last time was white choc honeycomb.
If we are talking store bought then I am all about the NZ Naturals Hokey Pokey and the Mövenpick chocolate. Wife likes the Mövenpick vanilla.
This coffee shop in Causeway Bay is worth a try for their coffee and ice creams
Location
Mobile Softee truck at the ferry pier
xtc is ok.
I remember liking the ice cream sold at the Godiva shop
That Grom place is opened in IFC, haven't given them a whirl yet though.
