Sold out.

But you still carry the flavor, right?

Um. Depends on what gets delivered.

I am grossly perturbed by my visit to O Sole Mio just now. The last time I visited I had to rush home to post glowing praises but today I also rushed home to post - but for very different reasons. I had to post lest I loose my street cred as a foodie.

First and foremost, there was no pistachio gelato in sight! I really should have gotten the plain frozen yogurt since the pistachio gelato was out but I couldn’t resist the temptation to try other flavors. The chocolate gelato wasn’t very chocolate-y. The strawberry fro-yo also didn’t taste very strawberry-ish somehow. I don’t even remember the other flavors I tried.

I ended up ordering the passion fruit gelato but, surprise, it didn’t taste very passion fruity. I felt that the sugar to fruit flavor ratio was way out of whack - too sweet. While there were no icy particles of DEATH there were some questionable lumps that I could have done without. All in all, it was a disappointing experience.

Have any of you readers the other flavors at O Sole Mio? Did repeat visits prove the joint to be consistent? I beseech you to message me!

In the mean time I think I’d head back to Yogurt Me. Hungry Girl in Taipei has a post about the place here.
