Cremoso Gelato at City Square Mall in Johor Bahru

I have a sweet tooth and especially love ice creams. I was delighted to visit and enjoy Cremoso's gelato at City Square Mall again at Jeff's invitation yesterday.

Jeff, Cremoso's owner, learnt the art of Italian gelato making from masters in Singapore before setting up in Johor Bahru. Now there is a Cremoso shop in City Square and a kiosk in KSL Mall (near the Cawanmas cafe).



Cremoso offers 16 flavours of gelato, so there is something for everyone. Gelato is made with fresh milk, so it is more dense, yet creamier, smoother and softer than regular ice cream. (Ice creams are usually made with milk powder dissolved in water, so it is more airy and hard due to more ice crystals.)


Cremoso Durian Gelato

Cremoso Gelato uses the same techniques of making gelato as in Italy where this premium ice cream originated. But, in addition to the traditional plain and vanilla flavours, Cremoso experiments with local favourites such as durian and passionfruit.



Cremoso's popular Pistachio gelato.



Besides the usual scoops of gelato, I like Cremoso's Signature Creations which are blended gelato "fried" on their -18 °C cold stone.



This is for chocolate lovers. The Forte - a scoop of chocolate gelato, mixed with chocolate chips, fudge, drizzled with chocolate sauce served on a waffle cone.

Jeff told me that Cremoso's waffle cones are freshly made at the stall in small batches to ensure that they are always served crispy. I can attest to this and I even dropped several bits of waffle while enjoying my Forte :P



My Chocoton made with a chocolate gelato scoop mixed with crushed Oreo biscuits and peanut butter with almond toppings, served on a crispy waffle bowl.



Mixing and tossing my "Smiley Day" on the cold stone.



My "Smiley Day" - scoop of caramel gelato with strawberry and fudge with chocolate sauce topping.

When you are shopping in City Square Mall, drop by Cremoso to cool your heels and chill with a gelato :)

Cremoso Gelato at City Square Mall, Johor Bahru

The newly remodelled City Square Mall in Johor Bahru has many new and trendy food outlets. One of the new hip outlets is Cremoso Gelato and Coffee.

Today, I dropped by Cremoso Gelato at the invitation of Jeff, the owner, and tasted their gelato or Italian ice cream.



Jeff, who used to work in the financial sector, had studied with the gelato masters of Singapore for a few years before opening Cremoso in City Square last month. Cremoso offers 16 flavours of gelato like pistachio, strawberry, chocolate, hazelnut, coffee, vanilla, and so on.



Jeff and his staff turning and folding the gelato on the minus 20 degree cold stone.



I tried this Chocoton made with chocolate gelato together with Oreo biscuits, peanut butter and almonds served on a crispy waffle bowl. Made with fresh milk, the gelato was dense, creamy yet soft unlike regular ice cream (made with milk powder) which is airy yet hard. The Chocoton had crushed Oreo and almond toppings giving the gelato interesting variations in taste and textures. The peanut butter added a savoury, peanutty note to the sweet gelato.



This Chocoton, a regular size Cremoso Signature Creation cost RM9.90.



This one regular scoop of pistachio flavour gelato cost RM7.90.



Cremoso on the fourth floor of City Square Mall was located on an overhanging ledge offering a nice view of the centre court below. The comfortable seats make Cremoso a nice place to chill with friends or people watch.

If you are in City Square Mall and crave a sweet, cold dessert, Cremoso gelato may be just what you need.
