Burnaby, BC
After my visit to Taste Nice, on my way back, I decided to stopped by somewhere in between for some dessert. Normally, if I want dessert, I would order it from the same place I am having my meal but I chose to do something different this time. Then I remembered Adria Gelato, a small shop in Highgate Mall – an area that has seen its share of improvement in the last couple of years. In fact, a friend of mine who used to liven in the area around 2002 said it has changed so much she could not recognize it anymore!
This shop is in the second level of the mall, next to Save-on-Foods so, if you are driving around, you won’t have known it is there. How do I know it is there? Well, sometimes I drop by the library kitty-corner to this mall, hehehe. Anyway, when a shop has gelato in its name, you have to order “that”, right? And here it is:
A two scoop ($5), the bottom one being hazelnut and the top one tiramisu. Before I continue, I must mention that day was slightly chilly (as in 3C, not too sunny and slightly windy). Call it “fight fire with fire” scenario, hehehehe. Anyway, the tiramisu scoop was not that good, as I could not really taste the coffee. The hazelnut, on the other hand, had a roasted hazelnut flavour, which was the main reason I wanted a scoop (I had a sample before I ordered it). And, in both cases, it was creamy indeed.

Overall, it is not the best gelato I have had but, considering the neighborhood, I must say it is quite good. I might drop by again if I am in the library again and want a dessert… ^_^
Goat curry and gelato. That’s a great day in my books.
It could have been better had it been sunnier… Not complaining here! XD
