LWIN LEE | MORELLI'S GELATO @ BANGSAR SHOPPING CENTER (BSC), MALAYSIA
Any fans of milky ice cream
lovers out there? Oh should I rephrase as anyone that does not love ice cream?
High chances are the answer tends to be optimistic affirmatively, no? (=
(*´∀｀*人*´∀｀*)
Brought upon to pamper the
discerning taste buds of yours, Morelli’s Gelato with history dated
back to Italy has been amusing folks of Bangsar especially, over a year ago
with its moreish array of homemade gelato and sorbet.
The Morelli family started making
ice cream in 1907 and the exclusive Morelli’s Gelato now has stores located in
top cities around the world namely London, Monaco, Bahrain, Dubai and Dallas,
USA. Its first Malaysian kiosk trademarked purple and white at the ground floor
of BSC is designed in a typically stylish Italian scheme for that sensuous enjoyment.
Using only the crème de la cream
ingredients, the premium Morelli’s Gelato also prides itself in training
all ‘gelatiere’, or more commonly known to us as Ice Cream Chef, to ensure they
are able to produce gelato in the most quintessential Italian way. This gelato
parlour offers guests the freshest Italian gelato, produced every morning
daily, right at the store, using the exquisite secret recipe that has
been passed down through 5 generations and all natural ingredients of the
finest quality.
Morelli’s Gelato is essentially
milk-based and traditionally made fresh daily on-site (as attested by Kiosk
Manager, Mr. Edgar) which results in a soft and velvety texture with a richer
consistency(trust me, they’re really superb that you gonna ask for second
helping!).
It is said that milk-based gelato
is generally healthier, contains less fat, tastes lighter and will not dull the
taste buds. As opposed to mass-produced ice cream which contains 80% more air,
Morelli’s Gelato poised itself uniquely with just 20% only, assuring ultimate
indulgence of your Italian ice cream. Blended with just enough air for a
texture that’s dense and creamy, it’s the rich taste that promises a longer
slow-melting moment of pleasure.
So without further ado, let’s
have a quick run-down of what you could expect here, from winsome assorted
sundaes to caffeine fix for the coffee lovers out there. While the ice cream
recipes hails from Italy, the coffee beans are sourced from South Africa coffee
estate, owned by and house-roasted by the Morelli family.
Gorgeous sundae served in Murano
glasses.
Dainty Murano glasses are
exclusively hand-made glass products that are manufactured on the island
of Murano. That explains the stunning design and ornamented coloration of the
glass styled from glassblowing, or simply depicted as air-blown glasses.
Does the peppero-like stick reminds you of the puntil, albeit a tempting and chocolaty ones (=
Each sundae is further spiced up
with whipping cream accompanied by a swirl of soft vanilla gelato.
For that day, there are only 3 types
of sorbet available (Banana, Raspberry Yogurt, Strawberry and Wildberry) while
the rest is of milkier gelato with Pistachio as one of the best seller. It’s
said that the imported pistachio are priced according to the market price
though.

| Assorted toppings to go along with your favorite ice cream! Slurps... |

| Seemingly common flavours but got injected with Italian taste! |
MORELLI’S BACIO (MYR 39)
Chocolate,
hazelnut and soft vanilla gelato served with a chocolate truffle, Piemonte
hazelnuts, swirls of Magnum chocolate and hazelnut sauce in a chocolate cup,
wafer biscuits and fresh whipped cream.
BAILEY’S (MYR 39)
Immediately
reminds me of the delish Bailey’s Cheesecake from Buns & Meat.
Hazelnut
and soft vanilla gelato topped with chocolate sauce, fresh whipped cream abd a
single shot of Bailey’s liqueur in a chocolate cup.
BANANA ROYALE (MYR 35)
Banana,
caramel ‘dulce de leche’ and soft vanilla gelato served with caramel ‘dulce de leche’
sauce in a chocolate cup, banana and fresh whipped cream.
Good to
learn that the caramelized milk or milk-based syrup is lovably not over
saccharine.
BERRY PAVLOVA SUNDAE (MYR 35)
Wildberry
sorbet, strawberry, fruit yogurt of the day and soft vanilla gelato served with
raspberry coulis, meringues, drizzled with Magnum chocolate, a selection of
seasonal berries, and fresh whipped cream.
STRAWBERRY SUNDAE (MYR 35)
Vanilla
and strawberry gelato served with strawberry sauce, fresh strawberries and fresh
whipped cream.
BUTTERFLY (MYR 23)
Suitable for kids!
If at the same time you crave for icy gelato and need something warm, worry not as Morelli’s Gelato does have a wide range of hot drinks too.
SALTED CARAMEL AFFOGATO (MYR 13)
Espresso served with inhouse gelato.
Vanilla gelato is by default, but of course you could seek for other flavours,
in this case, I heed the recommendation by Mr Edgar. True enough, the marriage
of bitter-sweetness somehow able to strike a balance; resulting is a creamier
texture with some hint of saltiness after taste. Fret not, it’s still not as
exquisite as the SaltedCaramel from Olle Café which I deem as a cuppa of its own
special characteristic appeal (=
NUTELLA LATTE (MYR 14)
Hot, frothy milk with a shot of
chocolate hazelnut sauce.
MORELLI’S CAPPUCCINO (MYR 11)
100% Arabica family blend
HOT CHOCOLATE (MYR 11)
Yearn for some cooling iced
frappe that is further gratified with a scoop of gelato of your choice? Try this out? Personal preference for this pairing is a swirl of soft
served vanilla!
CARAMEL ‘DULCE DE LECHE’(MYR 15)
STRAWBERRY SHAKES (MYR 15)
The menu covers a wide array of
sumptuous sundaes served in elegant Murano glasses as well as hot beverages and
shakes. There is also the take-away gelato or sorbet litre-packs for
convenience. Prices of the gelato start from MYR 9 onwards.
The violet-hued kiosk certainly
serves up a range of ambrosial gelato, soft gelato, sorbets, frozen yoghurt,
tiny treats and delicious delicacies to take away. You'll locate it easily on
the ground floor, centre of the mall by the drop off point. Otherwise, the
nearby customer service representative would always be at your hand to assist
you. So do swing by one of these days to fix the lill’ sweet cravings in you
healthily!
