Momolato is a gelato and sorbet popsicle shop.<\/p>\n

Everything is HANDMADE and HOMEMADE<\/strong>. That means,\u00a0durian flesh from\u00a0mao shan wang gelato\u00a0<\/strong>is plucked by hand. Azuki bean popsicle\u00a0<\/strong>comes from\u00a0home-cooked azuki red bean soup, which is reduced to a paste, and then frozen. Even\u00a0greek yogurt<\/strong> used in some popsicles is homemade.<\/p>\n

\"momolato
\nEverything is FRESH<\/strong>. Fresh milk, fresh fruits, no puree. Avocado from\u00a0avocado gula melaka gelato\u00a0<\/strong>and pistachio from\u00a0pistachio gelato<\/strong> are Australian produce; yuzu from\u00a0yuzu milk gelato<\/strong> is imported from Kochi prefecture in Japan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Everything is HONEST<\/strong>. No artificial coloring or preservatives; all natural, fresh, and premium ingredients. Fresh milk, not those powered milk or milk that you can keep forever on shelves. Fresh coconut milk in coconut popsicle with chocolate swirls and desiccated coconut shavings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"momolato
\nEverything is HEALTHY<\/strong>. Well, ok, healthier than ice cream. Gelato has lower fat than ice cream. Sometimes butter or margarine is used to fluff up gelato, but for Momolato, they don’t use; they say\u00a0no to trans-fat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything is QUIRKY and FUN. <\/strong>Come on,\u00a0peanut butter wasabi gelato<\/strong>,\u00a0miso butterscotch gelato<\/strong> and Kimelon popsicle<\/strong> (watermelon sorbet with kiwi slice). New flavors weekly<\/strong>. So adventurous! I like!<\/p>\n

\"momolato
\nSharon Tay, who was an investment banker for 8 years, gave up her cushy job (5-figure monthly salary with at least 6 months’ bonus) and studied the art of making gelato at\u00a0Carpigiani Gelato University in Bologna, Italy<\/strong>. A brave move, and the amount of hard work that goes into making gelato by hand – it’s insane. (Fun fact: both Sharon and I volunteered at Action for AIDS, but never met till\u00a0now.)<\/p>\n

Gelato, in general, is less creamy and less rich than ice cream, and it is true in Momolato’s case. But I tasted 9 flavors of gelato and found a range of tastes that appeal to different people. Mao shan wang<\/strong>\u00a0was a winner for durian-lovers. If you like food bitter,\u00a0earl grey<\/strong>\u00a0was bitter, and so was citrusy\u00a0yuzu milk<\/strong>\u00a0from yuzu rind.\u00a0Miso butterscotch<\/strong>\u00a0was first salty, then sweet, best for mavericks. My favorites were\u00a0lavender salt<\/strong>, which\u00a0recalled to me\u00a0spa-like relaxation; and pistachio<\/strong>, an aromatic nutty aftertaste.\u00a0Skip these (maybe):\u00a0ferrero<\/strong>, avocado gula melaka<\/strong>, and madagascar vanilla<\/strong> for the flavors didn’t come on strongly.<\/p>\n

\"momolatoI prefer the popsicles<\/strong> to the gelato: more fun and altogether tastier. The antioxidant popsicles<\/strong> from sour fruits–passionfruit sorbet <\/strong> swirled in homemade Greek yogurt, raspberry<\/strong> and Greek yogurt, blueberry<\/strong> and\u00a0yogurt–were suitable for healthy people. The passionfruit was too sharp for me, but the blueberry and raspberry were delicious and refreshing with homemade Greek yogurt balancing the sourness. The yogurt, by the way, tasted like a less sweet, cleaner version of Solero ice cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Momolato
\nIf I were forced at gunpoint to name a favorite popsicle, I’d be shot. How do I choose from a quenching\u00a0kimelon<\/strong> (watermelon sorbet with kiwi slice), a\u00a0traditional azuki bean<\/strong> (I don’t even like red bean and I like this!), a tropical fresh coconut\u00a0<\/b>swirled with\u00a0chocolate<\/strong> and covered with\u00a0desiccated coconut shavings\u00a0<\/strong>(I don’t like coconut too, but this is awesome), and a refreshing\u00a0sour plum sorbet<\/strong>? Ok, I pick the coconut<\/strong>, because the shavings gave it an added texture, and the chocolate complemented the coconut perfectly.<\/p>\n

Gelato: Single scoop <\/strong>$3.90\/ $3.70 (students); double <\/strong>$6.20\/ $5.80 (students)
\nPopsicle: <\/strong>$3.60\/ $3.20 (students)\u00a0<\/strong>
\nVery decent pricing<\/strong> considering the effort and the premium ingredients. Sincerest and most honest gelato and sorbet popsicles EVER.<\/p>\n
