...with the vibrant hues of its tempting array of gelato creations teasing first your eyes before the palate. Ask any gelato fan and he'll immediately point out the many differences of a traditional gelato from ice cream. Made with more milk than cream for a smoother and denser consistency and churned at a much slower pace with less infused air for that silky smooth and velvety finish, gelato delivers more concentrated notes that linger long on the palate.

Lemon Chicken for Chinese New Year, Reddest Red Velvet for Valentine's and indulgent flights of fancy with Ketchup Mayo and Pink Peppercorn. Chef Miko weaves the comfortingly familiar with the unexpected for his Flavors of the Moment series at Gelato by Chef Miko for a truly unique gelato experience.
The Lemon Chicken with its zesty lemony zing as the indulgent base is complemented by the crisp, mildly salty and savory hints of the chicken skin for that delicately balanced sweet and salty finish. The play on textural contrasts teases the palate with the silky smooth and luscious texture of the dense lemon gelato and the crisp chicken skin. And just for good measure, Chef Miko adds a fortune cookie to complete the CNY vibe. This is your lucky lunar new year scoop reimagined at Gelato by Chef Miko.
For Valentine's, Chef Miko shared his Reddest Red Velvet highlighting the themed colors for the day of hearts. The bright, vibrant and deep hues of red is a visual cue to the intensely rich notes of the seasonal variant. The blend of moist red velvet cake and dense gelato becomes the ultimate expression for the red letter day, swirled with decadent red ribbons of pure indulgence.
