DINING
The inside scoop From traditional flavours to Instagramworthy creations that are worth the calories. By Melanie Cox
Venchi
T AUTHRUE ITAL ENTIC GELAIAN TO
Just like its authentic flavours, Venchi has a rich history of 140 years making chocolate and gelato notorious for its premium quality ingredients and no artificial flavours, thickeners or palm oil. As a successful family-owned business founded by Silviano Venchi in 1878, Venchi has taken the dessert world by storm with multiple locations across Hong Kong’s most popular neighbourhoods. We recommend the Gianduja, Venchi’s self proclaimed “King of our tradition” using an old recipe derived from the North of Italy. venchi.hk
GELATO ART AT ITS FINEST
Givrés’
With a statement like “where beautiful Gelato Roses meet high quality Artisan Coffee”, you know you’re in for a treat. No doubt you will have seen Givrés’ iconic desserts on Instagram, a one-of-a-kind thanks to patenting its signature “Handcrafted Rose-Shaped Gelato” to be the only place in Hong Kong to experience this specialty gelato. Available in one, two or three flavours, you can mix and match flavours to create your own customised dessert. We recommend their cone served with an espresso shot, topped on a homemade waffle or stirred into an iced coffee or tea. You’re welcome. givres.com
