On the last day of summer, Ryan and I visited Kekou Gelato. Located amid a collection of restaurants in Baldwin Village in Toronto, Kekou Gelato offers fresh gelato made in tasty Asian flavours. Ryan had told me about this joint ages ago and I used to go to classes just up the street, but I only managed to visit now. I had a scoop of the sweet and nutty peanut sesame and a scoop of a more bitter and musky whiskey green tea (made with Chivas Regal!), and Ryan had the tangy soursop and textured red bean white chocolate flavours.
Kekou Gelato makes their own gelato in-house, behind the service counter. In order to keep everything as fresh as possible, they restrict their flavours in the less gelato-happy winter, and pull out all the stops come summer. If you aren’t sure about which flavours to pick, the staff are happy to let you sample the various types of dairy and non-dairy gelato. I had a taste of the complex and bitter Vietnamese coffee, but I would also love to try the durian, Hong Kong milk tea, and guava plum salt.
Oh, if you couldn’t see it, I’m wearing my Noodle Girl t-shirt from Dim Sum City!
