1 scoop of gelatissimo is Php 90
But you are right because it is possible to get a scoop of dirty water ice candy for Php 5 in the province.
Someone who is'nt used to the dirty water used to may get diarrhea for a few days, but as long as they don't mind because after a while their body will adjust.

I think people are confusing ice-cream with gelato. Gelato is more expensive - 90php per scoop in Makati.
Who buys it? Lots of people - Gelatissimo is really busy. There are 3 Gelato shops in my local mall (Greenbelt) alone.
There's also a Haagen Dazs shop in Greenbelt that's even more expensive than that.
A regular ice-cream, sold from the freezer of 7/11 or Ministop is more like 20php though.

People who enjoy it.
You are right. I don't know the difference between ice-cream with gelato. I call them both Ice Cream.
What is the price for a scoop of Haagen Dazs ice cream ?

This thread got me curious what exactly what is the difference between ice-cream with gelato ?
After a quick search on google I came up with:
Ice cream legally has a minimum of 10 percent fat, gelato is made with a greater proportion of whole milk to cream, so it contains more like five to seven percent fat.
Also gelato is churned at a slower speed than ice cream, so it's denser because not as much air is whipped into the mixture. (Gelato contains about 25 to 30 percent air, while ice cream can contain as much as 50 percent air) Finally, while ice cream is typically served frozen, gelato is typically stored and served at a slightly warmer temperature, so it's not quite completely frozen.
I also like the Frozen Yogurt at Yummy Yo. Prices at 75php, 95php and 130php for the original flavor. 80php, 100php and 135php for the green tea flavor and 90php, 110php and 145 for the fruit flavored yogurt with real fruit bits.
