After I finished my ride on the Singapore Flyer, I wandered around the shops and restaurants around the base. I walked in a circle to read all of the signs telling the story of the race across the river that decided the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac-turns out mine,the rat, was the first, which I never knew.
As I came back around to the side near the bay, I caught sight of a colorful stand called Gelatissimo. The signs promised real Italian gelato, but I was sceptical. I've heard that before, and utilities never is. The "gelato" at the mall in Wuhan is tasteless and grainy. But I walked over anyhow, and the ice cream really was mounded up, with bits of fruit stuck on top, just like the real thing. It was a bit expensive, but I decided to take a chance and splurge.
Heaven. It really was...the best gelato I've tasted since leaving Italy. I got my usual favorite combination of chocolate and strawberry, and it was perfect. I sat and ate it as slowly as I could on a warm evening; the perfect ending to a pleasant day of sightseeing.
