Have read quite a fair bit about Celine’s Gelato Cart in the past weeks on social media — a hole-in-the-wall ice-cream shop which used to operate out of a cart for mobile operations. Hidden within Novena Regency just a short walk away from Novena MRT Station (also the same building where Sinn Ji Hainanese Chicken Rice is located), the shop does have their own dine-in area situated along the corridor for those who wish to have their gelato on the spot.

Serving up their gelato in cups, cones and waffles, Celine’s Gelato Cart also serves up a limited variety of bakes displayed in the display chiller such as a few variations of the Burnt Cheesecake. Went for the Gelato on its own, and picked the Rum & Raisin flavour which was pretty satisfying — the booziness strikes almost immediately as one gives their first taste on the gelato, while it rounds off nicely thereafter without being overly sweet; a very elegant flavour that is pretty well-executed. The texture does feel a bit off; possibly from the alcohol content in the flavour itself — it’s really smooth and sticky like how a gelato should have been, though was a little runny and melted fairly easily. That being said, I could definitely see how the flavours would totally work out well texturally given the consistency of it — makes me remember the good old days of visiting Alfero Artisan Gelato when they had a physical shop especially given how the gelato are also seemingly stored in Pozzetti containers. A spot definitely worth checking out the hype for!
