Koono Gelati Artigianale, Malang
Fancy having some international-standard gelato but with traditional Indonesian tastes? Then you definitely have to try Koono Gelato on Jl. Bromo Malang. Koono Gelato takes place in a colonial-style house - maybe that is why it is called 'Koono' (read: kuno), which translates to 'ancient / oldies' in English.
As I have mentioned before, Koono's main selling point is gelato with traditional Indonesian flavors. Where else can you find tape singkong keju or rujak gobet gelato?
Taro, Strawberry Milk & Straciatella Gelato - IDR 25,000 (medium size)
These three flavors belong to regular category, while there is the premium one which costs IDR7,000 more expensive. There was only one premium flavor available that day, which was ricotta cheese. The medium size allows you to have 3 flavors in a cup, in which my parents chose taro, strawberry milk and straciatella. The gelato, however, melted very quickly. The taro and strawberry milk flavors tasted ordinary. Meanwhile, I love the straciatella flavor, which is milk-based ice cream embedded with crunchy chocolate shavings.
Rocky Road, Regal & Peanut Butter Gelato - IDR 25,000 (medium size)
They have an open kitchen for customers to witness how the gelato is being produced from scratch. Fyi, Koono Gelato only uses fresh and natural ingredients, no preservative and artificial colorings involved.
This is their menu board. Strictly gelato, mineral water and soft drinks are sold here.

I decided to stick with conventional flavors without having any intention of underestimating the local ones. I was hoping to find marshmallows in my rocky road gelato (there are supposedly marshmallows inside rocky road right?), but I could not find any, so I was a little disappointed. It was rich with chocolate nonetheless. The Regal flavor was yummy with that taste resembling real Regal biscuit. The star was the peanut butter flavor, which was creamy and had distinct nutty taste.
Apart from good-tasting gelato, Koono Gelato also offers a cozy and Instagrammable hangout space for both family and youngsters. Every corner is designed to adorn your Instagram feed, especially the purple flower decors on the outdoor walls. Well, all the best for Koono Gelato and I will definitely revisit this place the next time I'm back in Malang!
