  • Messina moves into Hong Kong selling Gelato

    Messina moves into Hong Kong selling Gelato

    Hong Kong restaurant group Black Sheep is taking Australian gelato brand Messina to the ‘dessert-obsessed’ Hong Kong community.

    Messina’s first Hong Kong store will be located on historic Pottinger Street. The launch also marks Black Sheep Restaurant’s first collaboration in more than five years.

    “We are passionate about gelato and consider ourselves connoisseurs, but knowing good gelato and being able to make it on a large scale are two different things,” said Syed Asim Hussain, co-founder of Black Sheep Restaurant.

    “When we think someone else can do it better than we can, that is when we look for a partner.

    “We were blown away by not only Messina’s gelato but also by their work ethos, which is very much in line with our own. The amount of pride and detail that they achieve at every level is really inspirational.”

    Founded in 2002, Messina is known for its assortment of freshly-churned gelatos available in an array of signature flavours and rotating specials. Currently, Messina operates 22 stores across NSW, VIC and ACT.

  • Cookie Dough range can be baked or eaten raw

    Cookie Dough range can be baked or eaten raw

    Snacking on raw cookie dough is a lot like watching reality TV: You know it’s bad for you, you know other people will judge you if you admit to it, but it just feels so good. Well, if you’re someone who likes munching on break-and-bake cookie dough while bingeing Love Is Blind (that sounds AMAZING right now), I have great news for you. Pillsbury has been swapping out its traditional cookie dough recipe for dough that you can safely eat raw!

    We first spotted this news on the Instagram @Candyhunting, who posted a photo of some new packaging that boasted Pillsbury Chocolate Chunk & Chip cookie dough was safe to eat raw or baked.

    This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

    Not only that, Candyhunting said that this would soon be the case for ALL Pillsbury cookie dough thanks to using “heat-treated flour and pasteurized eggs to kill off possible foodborne pathogens.”

    That might sound way too good to be true, but it is, in fact, true! Pillsbury confirmed to Delish that it is transitioning all its refrigerated cookie doughs to be safe to eat raw or baked by the end of summer 2020. Not only that, but also all of its refrigerated brownie dough will be safe to eat raw or baked too!

    They also clarified that this recipe will just be tweaked to use ingredients to make it safe to be eaten raw—it will still taste like the classic cookies you know and love.

    If you follow the world of food closely though, you might know that it can take a while for products to be swapped in though, so for now and always, you should be checking to make sure you see the “safe to eat raw” seal on packaging before going to town. If you see that though, well, fire up The Bachelor and get to snacking!

  • Marina Bay Sands delivers Scoops of Hope

    Marina Bay Sands delivers Scoops of Hope

    Marina Bay Sands’ family of celebrity chef restaurants have joined hands to craft exclusive gelato flavours for Scoops of Hope, a new addition to this year’s Sands for Singapore Charity Festival.

    From 31 July to 9 August, the public can savour eight delectable flavours at the Scoops of Hope pop-up gelato station at Marina Bay Sands, while giving back to the community at the same time. All proceeds will go towards The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund, which lends a hand to children from low-income families.

    Marina Bay Sands CEO and president George Tanasijevich, said, as home to nine outstanding celebrity chef restaurants, Marina Bay Sands’ Scoops of Hope project is an excellent way to harness its combined culinary talent to benefit the less privileged.

    “We invite the public to join us in this.”

    The gelato flavours also play a special tribute to Singapore during this national celebratory period. Cut by Wolfgang Puck is contributing Gula Melaka gelato, an ingredient commonly used in local traditional desserts. Adrift by David Myers is creating Masala Teh Tarik gelato, a spin on the popular milk tea beverage. Waku Ghin by Tetsuya Wakuda will be rolling out Coconut with White Miso gelato, reminiscent of the famous local dessert Chendol, a personal favourite of Chef Tetsuya.

    A special flavour has also been created to commemorate the 170th anniversary of The Straits Times, Singapore’s oldest English-language daily. Created by executive chef of Marina Bay Sands, Christopher Christie, the multi-colour ST gelato comprises creamy White Chocolate with Raspberry, topped with crunchy Blue Sprinkles, incorporating the corporate colours of the newspaper as it crosses its milestone this month.

    Already, the first 170 scoops of the ST gelato have been bought by a private donor of the The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund, which is also celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. The scoops of gelato will be redeemed by beneficiaries and their accompanying caregivers from 31 July. Another corporate donor of ST School Pocket Money Fund – Ascendas Funds Management (S) Limited – has also donated S$50,000, in support of the Scoops of Hope initiative.

    The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund is a community project initiated by The Straits Times to provide pocket money to children from low-income families to help them through school. The Fund supports over 10,000 children and youth each year. Since the project started in 2000, the Fund has disbursed close to $42 million and helped over 128,000 cases of children and youth in providing them with monthly school pocket money.

    The Scoops of Hope project is also made possible with support from Carpigiani Gelato University and Allied Foodservice Equipment Pte Ltd. Carpigiani Gelato University, which has a mission to develop the art and science of gelato production, offered expertise and training in gelato making, while Allied provided the requisite equipment.

    From 31 July, gelato lovers can visit the pop-up store at The Shoppes Canal Level, B2 (Opposite Cold Storage) from 11am to 9pm. The gelato is priced at S$4.50 for a single scoop, S$8 for a double scoop and S$12 for a triple scoop.
