Gelato? How bout 218 freaking flavours!

On Friday, we met up with our friend and his wife for a spot of tea and dinner. Both of them are born and bred Vancouverites so it was so great to hang out, get the historical low down on various things Vancouver and also talk about the upcoming wedding plans. After dinner, they took us down to La Casa Gelato. It is seriously the most fascinating gelato place I've ever been to.. they have 218 flavours available to pick from, and over 300 revolving flavours.. everything ranging from the rather plain hazelnut chocolate to pear with gorgonzola cheese.. and to my utter delight, durian and jackfruit gelato. OH.. the tastebuds were instantly transported back to childhood hot humid days in Malaysia.

The great thing about La Casa Gelato is that you could try any flavour you want. No questions asked. I tried the pear and gorgonzola cheese, chilli chocolate, durian (of course), jackfruit, longan, passionfruit ... and I forget how many others before settling on a scoop of durian and jackfruit.

If you're ever in Vancouver, go check out La Casa Gelato. And come pick me up on your way there :)
