Denzy Gelato Review: Ice Cream Cafe With Unique Flavours Such As Saffron

Denzy Gelato wins Singapore’s Best Gelato 2019 Update: Denzy Gelato Bishan is now permanently ceased trading, but they have outlets in Hougang and Bedok. Lucky for me, Denzy Gelato appeared on our radar and we went down for a visit.

Denzy Gelato Review: Ice Cream Cafe With Unique Flavours Such As Saffron

There are many unique gelato flavours here, including their Pear , Ginger , and Ginger Flower , which was awarded “Singapore’s Best Gelato” at this year’s Singapore Gelato Championship . Food at Denzy Gelato Owner Damien’s passion for food and travelling gave birth to the idea of debut a gelateria.

He saw it as a sweet spot to combine both elements into one, and made his dream a reality by heading to Italy for a gelato crash course. The desserts served at Denzy Gelato bring his unique travels to the fore through many one-of-a-kind flavours.

For those who want their sweet treats on a buttery waffle cone , there will be an additional $0.50 . Don’t forget to factor in an additional $1 for their premium flavours .

The zesty notes of ginger were rounded off by the sweetness of the pear. This gelato is redolent with savour from almond milk and an component more expensive than gold—saffron! The nutty aroma from the almond milk is much more prevalent, masking the floral and earthy scent of the precious spice a tad bit.

A trip to the gelateria or ice-cream parlour is never complete without waffles ($5) . I ordered a scoop of Roasted Pistachio and Ruby Chocolate & Raspberries to go along with the waffles.

The flavour of pistachio was so aromatic and robust, it felt as if I was back in Italy having two scoops of legit gelato a day again. This is because the nuts are given a light toast, before being stone-ground for 10 hours.

Pretty in pink, Denzy’s Ruby Chocolate & Raspberries gelato is the elevated version of my #1 ice-cream savour as a kid, the Raspberry Ripple. Going to Made with ruby chocolate, every spoonful is milky and slightly tart, with an, summer sweetness from the raspberry swirls.

Pick from the array of gelato flavours and have it dunked into a warm shot of espresso. I highly recommend you to pair it with a scoop of C ereal Milk for a bittersweet taste.

Ambience at Denzy Gelato Denzy Gelato might be hidden between the crowded Junction 8 and quiet Bishan Mall, but it still enjoys a steady stream of shoppers. They seem to have gotten off the ground not only because of their quality gelato but in addition their trendy interior design.

Unlike supermarket ice-creams that have chunky chocolates, nuts, or fruit in every scoop, the ones here showcase their flavours via quality elements incorporated seamlessly to become a creamy gelato.
