Halva stracciatella from Gelupo
Gelupo frequently comes up on lists of the best ice cream in London, and based on this one flavour — yeah, that makes sense. Though it’s hard not to compare all future gelato to the mind-blowing stuff I recently had in Italy, for gelato outside of that country’s borders, this is top-notch stuff. It’s rich and creamy, and the addition of halva to the classic chocolate and sweet cream stracciatella combo is actually fairly ingenious. It works really, really well.
There are a lot of really great gelato places in Toronto. A handful of them are so delicious that I was honestly under the impression that they were probably just as good as the gelato in Italy.
I was wrong, it turns out!
The Magic Kingdom is the classic Disney park, and it serves some pretty memorable food.
Here’s a roundup of the stuff I ate at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Spoiler alert: almost everything was pretty good.
As I did for the food at Disneyland, here’s a rundown of what I ate at California Adventure. Spoiler alert: everything was pretty good.
Food is everywhere in the park at Disneyland, and a lot of it is surprisingly good. So obviously I tried a bunch of stuff. My thoughts after the jump.
You can’t go wrong with fried cheese. There’s something about the gooey/crispy contrast that’s always going to be satisfying.
Despite my love for ice cream, I’ve somehow gone my whole life without trying the Indian version of the dish, kulfi. I regret this mightily. Eating the kulfi at Ramchandra Kulfi Bhandar was definitely one of those “where has this been my whole life??” moments.
Despite my undying love for ice cream, I’ve been dragging my feet on trying Cremia, the Japanese soft serve that everyone raves about.
About 90 percent of the things I eat while I’m travelling are either based on research or popularity (i.e. if I see a line for food, I’m probably going to stand in that line regardless of what it’s for).
Occasionally, however, I’ll see something like the dorayaki ice cream sundae at Sazae x Ishiya. I hadn’t heard anything about it, and there were no crowds. But come on: look at that thing. That’s way too delightful to pass up. I had to try it.
