#373 Gelato Messina @ Darlinghurst & The Star, Sydney
After dinner at Una’s Restaurant, my sisters and I were walking around and we saw many people lining up for gelato. It was none other than the oh-so-famous Gelato Messina!

This branch is quite a huge one as they have one dessert store serving cakes and pavlovas while another is an ice-cream bar. There are very limited seats available but thankfully, we got a table! Since both my sisters were still full from dinner, I got myself a Slivkova Pavlova, which comprises of vanilla gelato with a sponge base, topped with freeze dried raspberry jelly and passionfruit dusted French Meringue. Quite a unique gelato, I must say!! I love how attractive each gelato pavlova turns out to be! Though the meringue component is always the sweetest, I can deal with it! For such a small portion, paying AUD$11.90 is for definitely for the quality, not quantity.

Since we ate yet again, three of us decided to share one cup of ice-cream. We ordered 1 scoop of Coconut and Pandan gelato for AUD$4.30. In Western countries, usually 1 scoop of ice-cream consists of 2 scoops of the same flavour. Yet again, this was one of the best desserts we had in Sydney!!

Gelato Messina never fails to satisfy my tastebud even though I had it twice within hours apart. How great is that, really?
