"Would you like to try the Pistachio flavor?"
"How about the Hazelnut? It is not as sweet and yet very rich in flavor."
"Or are you a fan of Tiramisu instead?"
As I was on my way to the Central MTR station, I heard a voice saying this repeatedly. Her enthusiasm definitely caught my attention and so, I decided to have a look at this and give it a try. Between the Lyndhurst Terrace and Gage Street, PRIMO Artisan Gelato is a rather tiny gelato place that you could have easily missed it unless you are looking for it.
The girl that seems rather knowledgeable and told me that it serves gelato that is directly imported from Germany every morning. With secret recipes passed down several generations, it has already captivated so many Europeans' hearts. How can you not give it a try after hearing all that? There aren't that many choices to choose from and most flavours are quite predictable - hazelnut, chocolate mint, green apple, etc. But quality definitely triumphs quantity so I ordered a scoop of hazelnut to see how it tastes like.
It is much smoother than traditional ice cream; however, other than that it seems quite similar. Maybe I am not a really good gelato expert but a scoop only cost me $30 dollars, which is quite pricey in my opinion. Two scoops for HKD$54 and I could have spent that on a proper meal already... Anyways, the staff is nice enough for me to see past it. read more
