Whimsical Gelateria & Caffe by Cielo Dolci, Solaris Dutamas - "For 2 Please!"

Yang did some research and made a short list of the places we could try at around 10pm and one of it was Whimsical Gelateria & Caffe by Cielo Dolci. I remember passing by this cute little cafe while walking towards Barfly one night, what caught my eye was its adorable name! Just by saying "Whimsical" out loud turns me into a weird little happy kid! whimsical, icicle, tricycle, BICYCLE? i could go on and on... and i dare you to stop meeee.

Who would have thought gelato could mix really well with savory food? I for one wouldn't think it would be a great idea at all, i mean imagine a scoop of strawberry gelato on top of your aglio olio pasta, weeeeee-ird! The genius mind behind Cielo Dolci came up with all kinds of exotic flavors which will blow your mind! Have you heard of Bacon Gelato?... exactly..

Unfortunately we couldn't order the entire menu cause it was pretty late and we were only feeding two mouths. Scroll further to see what we had that night!

Tomato Basil Salad
don't be fooled by its simple outlook as it will shock you with its very unusual cooling sensation. instead of your regular creamy pesto dressing, go Basil gelato!

Not feeling very whimsical that day? Their gelato-free menu is pretty wide!

Burger Blues
beef patty with blue cheese! the patty was cooked to perfection and it looked like they use really good minced beef to make the patty, quite fatless... i actually felt healthy after every bite :P

We went to sample a few (almost all actually hehe) of their interesting gelato flavors and finally decided on Salted Caramel and Raspberry Cinnamon :)

Yang called me a fatty for ordering 2 scoops so here's my not-so-guilty face!

The waffles were perfectly crispy, which is my personal favorite! Can't stand those soft and chewy ones bleh.

Saw a familiar face walking pass the cafe and he came in for a short chit chat! So good to see you again, it was nice catching up Derrek :D keep in touch :)

Anyway good news! They change their featured gelato's on a regular basis, so every visit will probably be a different set of awesome flavors! All in all, it was a fun experience at Whimsical! Will be back for more fun :)
