| - Yes, yes to EVERYTHING about Kekou. I had been waiting to try this place out for years, and finally got around to doing so once it opened its doors again this summer (it is closed during the winter time.) This place is gelato on steroids, and take it from someone who has been to Europe: this place takes gelato and steps it up a notch, putting Kekou gelato in a league entirely of its own.
Tips on how to eat Kekou gelato:
1) Wait and count down the days until it opens for the summer impatiently
2) Step inside the adorably decorated, cozy and quirky gelato parlour.
3) Admire its wide variety of flavours. Whiskey green tea?HK milk tea? Vietnamese iced coffee? Sweet and spicy pineapple? Beer-infused peach sorbet? Osmanthus plum berry? Avocado banana?! THIS is a place that does fusion, and does it right. East meets West in the innovative flavours that Kekou has to offer, and I had fun trying
A bunch of them.
4) Speak to the friendly servers. They clearly enjoy their job and are proud to serve what they serve
5) are those...wait, what? Sugar cones, waffle cones, and SEAWEED INFUSED WaffLe CONES?! I haven't yet tried the seaweed, but if you have, please let me know.
6) Leave happily with a cone or cup of absolute deliciousness. Nearly faint with joy inside over every bite of pure, cold indulgence. Savour the taste of summer.
Location:
Unassuming, adorably decorated, and cozy, Kekou is nestled on Baldwin Street. It is spacious enough, with outdoor benches, to bring a small group of friends.
Top fave flavours: Vietnamese coffee and spicy and sweet pineapple. You can actually taste the heat, and it is amazing!
Tip: Ask for a stamp card. I have been back twice in the past two days. Trust me, you will make use of it.
