Displaying Gellato

Image
I love ice cream. More specifically I love italian style gelato. Gustimo is a gelato store where I can get best gelato in Korea. Not only tastes great, style of gellato displaying is fascionating. Couple of hours a go, I bought a small cup of gellato. It was just 30 min before closing store. I could observe all 4 guys were doing something on gellato (Photo on top). They arrange gellato with scoop. Push it to front end and put some original ingredient on it. Otherwise usual ice cream bulk drum is consumed from top. As you can see, there is big difference in displaying. Gellato on right picture looks fresh, clean and beautiful texture by design intention. Ice cream on left picture looks like a colored cement. Looks good and tastes great. I can't stop loving it.

Color of Gas

Inflation of gas price is incredible. So nowadays I'm using self-service gas station where I can save 10 cents for every gallon. Self-service at gas station is not popular yet in Korea. As you know, if gasoline car eats diesel, it will kill your engine. (If you have no idea about that.. Pls. remember it). In case of my car needs gasoline which is coded as yellow. In Korea, all gasoline nozzle is colored in yellow and diesel is green (One pump can be used for both type of gas). Even though I had not been used gas pump while I'm driving, it is easy to recognize. But there is still a chance for an error. Sometimes new gas service man makes confusion with car type. Because most of all SUV in Korea has diesel engine usually but all imported SUV is gasoline engine usually. But it seems different in every country. Often red is used for premium quality branded gasoline. In many cases, pump machine has a color of the company brand. Ex. Esso gas station use white for Regular, blue for Ex

Vinos de Cavas Submarinas

I'm a wine lover. I love have chatting with my friends and drinking good wine. "Cavas Submarinas" seem just a good Chilean wine. But I noticed the name has something special. Good wine need time and place to be matured. Dungeon or underground has been great place for preserving wine for years. But in case of "Cavas Submarinas", they dump wine boxes into sea and scuba-diver will harvest it later. Of course, dumped location should be a secret because it is open water. I guess the dump place is quiet underwater and temperature will be consistent forever. No electricity or guard is needed of course. Just like finding a treasure of sunken ship, it will be great fun. In terms of tasting, it is a Pinot noir, fruity and med body. I would like to recommend it for your dinner. In perspective of business model, it can be interesting. Space is limited at dry land. Keeping temp and guarding is not an easy job at all. Preserving wine needs long time. It might be able to retur
