Who wouldn’t think that a liquor brand would open up a café concept store in the Philippines? I guess the market calls for it and Filipinos are now more ready to accept a new kind of experience like this.

Most of friends and readers know that I am not a fan of any alcoholic drink and don’t usually post any of its kind in my blog. So this could be such a bold move for me doing so. I guess the feeling of intrigue triggers me to do it. Aside from that, I also wanted to know if there is something a non-drinker could try in this café. Even I am half-hearted in attending, I decided to join my blogger friends and visit, Fundador Cafe.

Giulia Manila opens its very first store at SM North EDSA

It wasn’t too long ago since I’ve visited this sight at SM North EDSA the block. It was an italian restaurant before that was called Casa Italia (read: Having Gelato at Casa Italia). If you are a fan of the brand, do not be shock, for Casa Italia isn’t really gone, but instead the famous restaurant decided to create a new brand that would cater to the right market in the area.

How to make a Pistachio Gelato? Simple. Just place the 2 cups milk, 4 egg yolks and 1 cup heavy cream in a container. While it’s warming, place the 1/2 cup sugar and pinch of salt. Add 1/2 cup pistachio puree. Mix well. Process. Add 1 cup roasted pistachio nuts. Mix. Taste. Refrigerate. The process could be very straight forward but still creating a perfect Gelato depends on a lot of things. That includes ingredients. And having the best ingredient is what Carte D’Or is made of.

Ciao! Is the word you’ll here as you enter Casa Italia, the modern day interpretation of the traditional Italian bar serving a wholesome menu of handcrafted premium gelato, freshly made food, Italian beers, and wine in a fast casual all-day dining setting. I’ve been seeing this restaurant located here in SM North the Block for quite a while but for the record, this would be the first time I would be dining in this restaurant. I’ve been hearing about it and my friends say they offer the best gelato ever, so I’m trilled to try it for my self.
