14 years ago, a suave Italian came to Malaysia and made Malaysia his home.
Like all others, he seeked the comfort of his country’s cuisine & FORTUNATELY for us, he did NOT open ANOTHER Italian restaurant.
Instead, he creates with his hands..lovely creamy gelato, the way he knows how, the way he recalls they were like in Italy & as authentically as possible despite being 9700km away from home.

Dr. Massimo Minecci started Gelatomio (aptly named My Gelato), from a humble 12 flavours shop to currently a gelati-empire boasting 60 flavours with outlets in Time Square, Subang Parade, Pavilion KL, Penang, Melaka and Johor.
He supplies approximately 70 major hotels and restaurants in KL which includes Shangri-La, Le Meridien, Pan Pacific, Prince Hotel, Hilton, G Hotel, chinoiz and espressamente.

An Okonomiyaki is a form of savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. Okonomi means “what you like”, and yaki meaning “grilled” ; case in example the meat/seafood in the okonomiyaki (yakitori) & the noodles in it (yakisoba).

In Japan, Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with Kansai or Hiroshima areas, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region. (source: Wikipedia)

In Malaysia, Okonomiyaki can be found in…… of all places;  Low Yat Plaza, though I just read recently of another restaurant who offers this tasty & simple pancake.
