Gelato... "This ain't ice cream!"

This is a picture of Maxim's Cakes and Gelateria in Penang taken during Christmas season. Pretty colorful huh? Its situated right beside the Penang Baptist Bookstore. Don't know where? I don't know how to tell explain also..hehe..

Looks like ice cream right? In fact it isn't. Its called gelato, and what the differences? Read on:

Ice cream:
* 50-100% air churned into ingredient mix in making process (increases quantity)
* uses artificial flavoring
* creates "stuffy" effect if "over-eat" because of high air content

Gelato:
* 25% air churned into ingredient mix in making process
* uses more "real" ingredients (so has a more creamy/milky taste)
* doesn't create "stuffy" effect, more quality (makes quantity more worth it)

As a whole, gelato may not as yummy as ice-cream since it uses less artificial favoring, it provides healthier alternative for ice-cream lovers.
Conclusion, gelato vs ice cream = a healthier choice
