Gelato Messina

By Unknown
At the new Downtown Summerlin shopping plaza, fantastic shops and restaurants are opening up including a new gelato eatery named Gelato Messina.  What stands out about this gelato shop is that this is their first US location (they are based in Australia) and they make their gelato from scratch using only the finest ingredients.  I guarantee that if you stop by and sample their gelato, your eyes will POP in amazement like mines did!


Gelato Messina adorns their interior with bright colors and loud artwork, reflective of their passion for making vibrant and creative flavors of gelato


There's coffee, lattes, and more drinks to accompany the desserts

Cremino - Salted caramel gelato and crushed amaretti biscuits with soft meringue and Nutella

Inside the Cremino - all the flavors layered and folded throughout this decadent dessert :) Delish!

Peanut Butter & Jelly "Sandwich" - Brioche gelato, peanut butter mousse, and blackberry jelly

All the flavors are individually strong, but presents a nice combination when all three layers are eaten together

Head Chef Donato Toce explains to us how the gelato are made in-house and how they use their creations to make various types of gelato cakes

Black Forest Gelato Cake - Choc fondant gelato, kirsch semi freddo with amarena cherries, a thin layer of chocolate sponge, a chocolate crackle disc, dark chocolate spray finish with a cherry sorbet dome enclosed in a crisp dark chocolate top

The sorbet gelato section includes flavors like Salted Coconut & Mango Salsa, Blood Orange, and Passionfruit
All sorbet gelatos are dairy free and vegan friendly

Approximately 40 different gelato flavors are available every day at Gelato Messina


5 special gelato flavors, some of which are modeled after pop-culture icons, are made and changed up on a weekly basis

The Heisenberg - Blueberry yogurt gelato with crystallized violets (get it, Breaking Bad fans?!)

Dulce De Leche - An Argentinean caramel made by reducing milk until it becomes a sweet jam

Gelato in a can - take some gelato to go!

Herbs & Rye

By Unknown
After driving pass by  Herbs & Rye  for many years I finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place.  They serve classic cocktails that were popular during the Prohibition Era and before that time like the Gothic Age (unknown-1865) and Golden Age (1865-1900): Here's an example of of some of the drinks: I loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them: Herbs & Rye also serves Italian food like  flatbreads , pasta, and  they're known for the steaks they cook, I'll try some next time!  I only had the appetite to drink: I really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel".  They get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !

During the last week of May, Bronsen and I went to Hawaii (my third trip) for vacation / family time / to eat! From my experience so far from eating Hawaiian local food, it consist an influential mix of traditional Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Polynesian, Portuguese, and American foods. If you're fond of any those ethnic foods like me, its like food heaven in Hawaii! We flew on our favorite airline, Hawaiian Airlines . Bronsen was hoping to get a nice meal than a snack because he always has a big appetite. His wish came true, the complimentary meal came with pasta with vegetables and vinegar dressing: and a big brownie!: Hawaiian Airlines going green: One night I was craving for saimin (ramen) noodles and spam musubi , a popular Hawaiian snack simply made with a block of rice, topped with a slice of spam, and wrapped in dried seaweed. Unfortunately, you can't see the noodles, its covered by the pork. I think there was more meat than the noodles! Hawa
