Morelli's On A Rainy Day...

Grey skies and a sudden downpour brings everyone to a stop in the metro. Like they say, if you want the entire city to stop moving, just add water. It's your cue for some premium gelato. Step inside Shangri-La's East Wing and have a scoop of Morelli's...

Since 1907, the rich and indulgent flavors of Morelli's have captivated customers in the UK with its authentic Italian gelato and ice cream. And now you too can savor the silky smooth richness of Morelli's right here at Morelli's Gelato Cafe at Shangri-La's East Wing, so let it rain...

Morelli's is known for using the finest and freshest natural ingredients for their hand-made products following the same cherished family recipes from founder Guiseppe Morelli. It's this uncompromising commitment to quality that's become Morelli's legacy, and what started with one bicycle and eventually a van back in 1907 led to their first ice cream parlour along the Broadstairs seafront in 1932. Today, you'll find Morelli's legendary gelato and ice cream in the Middle East, Monaco, Georgia, Gabon, Mexico and Southeast Asia. And right here at Shangri-La's East Wing. So what will it be on a rainy day like this? A scoop of Gluten-Free Wildberry Sorbet...  

 ...and Gluten-Free Pistachio Premium? Sounds good to me...

 And an otherwise dark, grey and rainy afternoon looks so much better...

The Gluten-Free Wildberry Sorbet (P 150/scoop) just brightens up the rainy day with its fresh, vibrant and rich tart notes followed by a decadent sweetness.

Unlike the usual sorbet, Morelli's Gluten Free Wildberry Sorbet has a much finer and smoother grainy texture that just melts on the palate, coating it with an indulgent richness.

The Gluten-Free Pistachio Premium (P 150/scoop) is denser and smoother with its satin-like texture. The subtle yet deep nutty hints of pistachios hits your palate followed by a creamy and mildly sweet finish. 

It may appear pricey, then again, it's on a par with other similar premium brands. And you certainly get what you pay for. As the rains slowly subside, Morelli's saves what could have been a dreary grey afternoon with their scoops of pure indulgence.

Morelli's is located at Level 3, East Wing, Shangri-La Plaza, Ortigas, Mandaluyong City or visit their FB Page at https://www.facebook.com/MorellisGelatoPhilippines/ for more updates.
