Everyone is crying out for Gelato!

Everyone in Port Moresby have been screaming Gelato since the Italian Gelato opened on May 2, Tuesday.

Gelato is pretty much ice cream but is different from ice cream.

How?

Gelato is the Italian word for Ice cream. That’s what makes it ice cream.

But what makes it different from ice cream is what’s used to make it and how it’s made, says owner Elisa Cragnolini.

Now is the perfect time to shop

Not to spoil the fun but many shops have Mother’s Day specials going on.

This means you get the opportunity to buy for yourself many products at special price discount or special gift hampers at low price.

But importantly, don’t forget your mother.

Many children and fathers are out hunting today to treat the special lady of the house.

Some are celebrating today, others are tomorrow.

But the occasion has had stores full since early this morning.

The Korean experience comes to POM

These dishes are authentic, firstly.

Seafood featured dishes, rice and noodles – the Korean style, Korean barbecue with beef and other meat, the popular fermented cabbage – Kimchi; to name a few.

And, can be very expensive, depending on where they are served.

In Port Moresby, there is one restaurant providing this experience at the most affordable price possible.

It has quickly become a favourite spot, attracting expatriates and a good number of locals.

“We always wanted to come here to Vision City so we are excited to be here. It’s been pretty hectic but good to see the response. It validates our decision to come here,” a spokesperson, Anurag Borkar told Loop PNG.

VC manual checks will continue: Security

It’s no different, or even worse, for those trying to do Christmas shopping at bigger shops like the Vision City megamall.

Customers have complained on the congested traffic flow into the mall as a direct result of these checks, manually scanning three people at a time.

Some have called on the management for alternative options to ease the flow of traffic, especially during this peak period.

But the mall’s security will not ease off for the wellbeing of their customers, according to the security manager, Sevanaia Koroi.

Christmas mood permeates Port Moresby

Contractors have started setting up the famous Jack Pidik lights at Five-Mile for another period of public celebrations leading to Christmas.

But the first to set up their lights and Christmas trees were supermarkets in the nation’s capital, early in November.

Vision City, RH Hypermart and Stop N Shop are some of the supermarkets that have already put up Christmas trees and decorated the inside and outside of their premises, setting the feel of the fast approaching holiday mood.
