Our gelato is ridiculously delicious and is made with the finest Italian ingredients and equipment, fresh produce (and unique local ingredients that are called for in some of our recipes like durian or ube). As of February 2009, you can find us in the Metro and Iloilo City!MokkiLatohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06768173162777243656noreply@blogger.comBlogger13125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763619718145322387.post-61631953368076026872009-06-16T22:02:00.000-07:002009-06-16T22:13:34.904-07:00Hey everyone!<br /><br />Come visit us at the <a href="http://www.worldbex.com/mafbex/mafbex.html">Manila Foods and Beverages Expo</a> (MAFBEX)!

We want to control the quality of our gelato, and with Manila (and the Philippines in general) so large, we need all the help we can get to spread the gelato love.<br /><br />In other news, check out our new brochure:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mokkilato.com/blog/uploaded_images/bluemenu1-782993.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 77px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.mokkilato.com/blog/uploaded_images/bluemenu1-782967.jpg" alt="" border="1" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mokkilato.com/blog/uploaded_images/bluemenu2-783037.jpg"> <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 77px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.mokkilato.com/blog/uploaded_images/bluemenu2-783008.jpg" alt="" border="1" /></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5763619718145322387-3939996631301213066?l=www.mokkilato.com%2Fblog'/></div>MokkiLatohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06768173162777243656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763619718145322387.post-77900022951264900552009-04-14T17:04:00.000-07:002009-06-03T21:25:40.413-07:00<span style="font-style: italic;">Bongiorno</span>, fellow gelato lovers! Another project is unveiled! <span style="font-style: italic;">Phew</span>, it seems like we're making projects happen faster than we're blogging.<br /><br />We now offer catering services in the greater Metro Manila area. For a minimum amount of only Php 6,000, the catering package includes a gelato display freezer, <span style="font-weight: bold;">SIX (6) gelato flavors of YOUR choice</span>, a crew member to help hand out the gelato, and all the other knicknacks needed to have everyone enjoy MokkiLato Gelato! That's enough to cover 100-120 people. If you need more gelato than that, add Php 500 for every 10 additional people.<br /><br />To see our list of flavors, visit our website and take a look at the gelato list. If what you want isn't there, talk to us and we might be able to come up with tasty options and/or alternatives.<br /><br />If you're not in the Metro Manila area but would really like to have us cater our delicious gelato at your event, call us or e-mail us and we'll do our best to work with you.<br /><br />For those who don't want the whole catering package, remember, you can order individual gelato flavors from us, with sizes ranging from 1/2 gallon - upwards, or if you prefer kilograms, we do that too.<br /><br />Call 0928-524-8498 and look for Jesse for more details. :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5763619718145322387-7790002295126490055?l=www.mokkilato.com%2Fblog'/></div>MokkiLatohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06768173162777243656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763619718145322387.post-75376047517559412352009-04-13T01:00:00.000-07:002009-04-14T17:33:08.198-07:00Check out our new tarp design!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mokkilato.com/blog/uploaded_images/tarp150px-700890.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.mokkilato.com/blog/uploaded_images/tarp150px-700890.jpg" alt="" border="1" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5763619718145322387-7537604751755941235?l=www.mokkilato.com%2Fblog'/></div>MokkiLatohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06768173162777243656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763619718145322387.post-2600316181015927912009-04-12T19:08:00.001-07:002009-04-12T22:50:31.952-07:00Hey there gelato lovers!<br /><br />So remember how we were talking about a couple of projects in the works? We're pleased to announce that our gelato can now be found at the lanai area at the Valle Verde Country Club. We've set up a little gelato bar and plan to serve 7 flavors on any given day.<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mokkilato.com/images/blogimg/icecreamcone.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 6px 4px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 70px; height: 104px;" src="http://www.mokkilato.com/images/blogimg/icecreamcone.jpg" alt="" border="1" /></a>Gelato is the perfect solution to beating the summer heat in Manila! Have a cone after your sports clubs and activities. Treat yourself to one after a good day's work. Order one for dessert. Share with your friends (just don't forget to ask for a spoon too). Eat one just out of curiosity. Enjoy it with friends or family. Taste the flavor explosioooon!<br /><br />The project with the country club is still an ongoing process, and we're working with them to make take-home orders available. In the meantime, enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5763619718145322387-260031618101592791?l=www.mokkilato.com%2Fblog'/></div>MokkiLatohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06768173162777243656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763619718145322387.post-47539813354303719352009-03-08T18:17:00.000-07:002009-04-12T20:27:04.538-07:00Woohoo! We really love our jobs (aside from the fact that we taste each and every single batch of gelato that we make to make sure it tastes good)! We get to work with the food we love and at the same time find ways to share it with you guys. Decorating the gelato-filled pans is fun too, sprinkles and wafer sticks are mad fun. Fruits are sticky, but they make everything look so pretty! Don't worry, we keep everything clean and sanitary, like using gloves and hairnets (totally uncool looking, but we do it all for you).<br /><br />Support at the trade shows has been amazing. We've constantly had to refill pans, sometimes even in less than an hour. So keep taking those pictures and blog about us. Spread the gelato love around! And don't forget to send us the link!<br /><br />We would love to hear back from you. Send anything from comments, to questions or suggestions, or drop a line just to say hello!<br /><br />The remaining projects that we have for 2008 are really coming along well, so far we've managed to get a couple of places carrying our gelato (still hush-hush on who, but they're awesome). We're throwing around ideas, like a health line, but nothing is set in stone yet. We're getting our creative juices flowing and have a lot in store for MokkiLato, so thank you for your continuing support! :)<br /><br />- The MokkiLato Crew<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5763619718145322387-4753981335430371935?l=www.mokkilato.com%2Fblog'/></div>MokkiLatohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06768173162777243656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763619718145322387.post-54992440876907415102009-02-27T22:00:00.000-08:002009-04-12T20:26:19.302-07:00Yaaay!

They're one of Iloilo's first food establishments dedicated to desserts done with a European flair. They're keeping an eye not just on flavor to satisfy the palette, but also in the design in every dessert they have available. They specialize in small delicate pastries similar to those you would find at French patisseries. The trendy area still remains cozy and everything from the walls to the pastries are definitely eye candy. Small, cute, and definitely delicious.<br /><br />You can <a href="http://www.thenewstoday.info/2009/01/12/nothing.but.desserts.html">read more about Nothing But Desserts</a> at the online edition of The News Today, article written by K.
