GIAPO

 

GIAPO BUONO!!

 

 

Now if you're really into your sugar, this my friend is the place to be if you're ever in Auckland. Last summer I went to New Zealand and when we were in the city of Auckland we found Giapo on Urbanspoon as #1 top rated, so we decided to give it a go. We arrived pretty late at the scene but that didn't stop anyone for some late night dessert. The service was really impressive as you could test try each flavours before purchasing the one you wanted. Even though the line was queuing up the worker was really patient throughout your taste trying experience and trust me, I tried nearly all the flavours before choosing. I'm only there once right?

 

My final choice was the best selling Buona Giapo. This masterpiece contained hazelnut biscuit with a salted caramel base containing caramel praline bits, swirled with caramel, covered in biscuit crumbs and topped with toasted meringue and gold dusted hazelnuts. Sound pretty impressive? Honestly, I could of taken out the meringue...it was too over powering with sugar. But once that part was gone, it was heavenly. It had texture, sweetness and presentation wise, it was on point. Oh, and just when you reach the cone, you'll find out it has a chocolate coat as well. So for all you sweet tooth foodies, this place is a must!
