I bought a rocky road flavour G-stick from them and this Rocky road is basically a chocolate and marshmallow type of flavour. And indeed it is very chocolatey flavoured;on the above part of the G-stick it is dark chocolate flavoured while below is normal milk chocolate. It is a combination of dark and milk chocolate in this G-stick.
The true treasure trove of sugar at Solaris Dutamas is nevertheless Ben's Independent Grocer inside Publika. Can't get more saccharine than hand-molded, sticky-finger chunks of sea-salt caramel fudge by British confectioner Burnt Sugar.
G-Stick gelati _ pistachio, rocky road & banoffee _ a sumptuous, upper-crust repackaging of the ice-cream-on-a-stick adored by adults, adolescents & ankle-biters alike.
I was attracted to the bright yellow heart shaped g-stick which is mango flavour. This G-stick taste super nice! Once you bite it; you can taste the freshness of the mango and is not hard like others stick ice cream as their inner side are kinda soft and the taste is so fruitful. Really nice! Thumbs up!
On our next visit, I knew exactly what I wanted to try - the Oreo! This was by far my favourite though Adam thought it a bit too sweet. Anything cookies and cream or white chocolate wins by default for me, so cookie and cream gelato with white chocolate coating was like heaven for me! The gelato was dense and rich and although there wasn't much cookie flavour from the gelato, the two crunchy cookies on the white chocolate made up for it. Attempt only if you have a sweet tooth through and through. You'll either love it, or have to share for fear of overkill.
Being a fan of banana, Adam made a beeline for the Banoffee. We expected this to be a tinge of banana with a sticky toffee taste, but was surprised instead to taste coffee! This was again very rich and creamy, with a strong coffee flavour but we found this a bit too frozen. We had to wait for it to defrost a little and all was right again.
Once thing I love about G-Stick is the cute designs that makes the gelato so visually appealing. Each flavour has different toppings, the fruity ones came in hearts and the Black Sesame (at the far left corner in the picture above) came in a cute chocolate bar shape.
That night, I tried the Pistachio and it was exactly what I imagined it to be. Thick and creamy with a tinge of nutty richness. The chocolate coating and pistachio bits were the perfect complement. So much better than Baskin Robbin's Pistachio (which I just tried last night) but then again, I suppose that's not a direct comparison
