Let me hear you scream if you love Ice Cream!  


Most of us will choose ice cream over other dessert and I'm sure anyone who really loves Ice cream can come up with a long list of reasons why.


Geláre is founded in Australia in 1986 by Mr. Farid Torabi, Geláre remains the much-loved dessert bar throughout Perth and Brisbane. It has over 50 branches spread across Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Geláre has a choice of superior desserts including its famous ice cream, waffles, pancakes, hot beverages, smoothies, and light breakfast menu. Geláre in the Philippines is run by WhitePlates Inc.




Trivia: Regular ice cream that we grew up with contains 50% air while famous Gelatos that we have been introduced contains 25% air. Then here comes Geláre Ice cream that is airless! How exciting can this get?

From melt-in-the-mouth gourmet ice cream and warm golden waffles to vegan desserts and light hearty breakfasts, Geláre dessert restaurants are trusted for nothing less than a sweet and savory taste sensation.

Grand Opening of Geláre at the 3rd level, Uptown BGC

Geláre has landed in the Philippines with its flagship store in Uptown, BGC with its serene interior perfect for relaxation. A place where you can just leave all your stress behind and savor some guilty pleasures.

Geláre is an Italian word that means “to freeze” or “congeal”, which is the final step in the ice cream making process. Geláre offers 24 staple ice cream flavors to choose from with notable flavors like: Blueberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Cup and Honey Malt.
They also have 5 flavors of Vegan and Halal certified ice cream such as Banana Caramel Swirl, Lychee Lane Sorbet, Mango Passion Sorbet, Lemon Lime Sorbet and hang on matcha lovers out there, Matcha Green Tea.


Making it more exciting is Gelare’s waffle which can be enjoyed both sweet and savory. It comes with a perfect crisp on the outside yet light and fluffy on the inside. For simple pleasures, it can be enjoyed with its rich buttercream topping or add a little excitement with a scoop of any ice cream flavor of your choice to make it à la mode. Or better yet, pair your waffles with Egg benedicts for those ovum lovers.

How Josiah’s Catering Keep Employees for More Than a Decade
Josiah’s Catering run by the members of the Vesoza family
A sense of family is at the core of Josiah’s Catering as it is being run by the members of the Vesoza family whose bond is incomparably strong.
In 2003, Jerome joined Josiah's Catering as a waiter. He can still recall how they would set up monoblock chairs in parties and cover tables with half-drop tablecloths. The company was young back then. Now that Josiah's Catering has marked 27 years of bespoke catering innovation, Jerome's career has also flourished together with the company's success. He is now a banquet supervisor.  

For almost three decades of being a banquet specialist, Josiah's Catering is known for its unparalleled innovation in catering all kinds of occasions for weddings, birthdays, corporate events and more. One of the foundations of this success are the people who showed relentless hard work and passion for exceptional service. Josiah's Catering treasures this by taking its people along with its growth.

An old setup by Josiah’s Catering shows how its catering service has evolved over the years to ensure that occasions are made more special and memorable from weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries to corporate events.
"Naramdaman mo at ipinaramdam din nila sayo kung ano ‘yung narating nila ngayon at saka kasama ka rin doon. (You would feel and they would make you feel that you are part of what the company has become now)," says Lourdes Killase, Head of Laundry Section and a Josiah's Catering employee for 19 years. 
Josiah’s Catering
Ever since Josiah’s Catering has been known for its meticulous attention to details and eye for creative design.
For Josiah's Catering, success is not just about hiring the best people. It's about taking good care of them and treating them as your family. They do not only share work together but also support each other through personal ordeals. Owners Jet and Boyet Versoza would lend an ear to its people and help them overcome challenges in both work and personal life. 
"Sa trabaho pa lang nila, busy na yan eh pero nandoon pa rin ‘yung time nila para sa amin. (Despite their busy work schedule, they still find time for their people.)," says Josiah's Executive Chef Marlyn Lara, who has been serving the company for 20 years.

Josiah’s Catering celebrates its 27 years of bespoke catering innovation at The Blue Leaf Filipinas in Aseana City with a gorgeous banquet setup and delectable cuisines that mirror its long years of experience.
At Josiah’s Catering, innovation does not only manifest in their unique design concepts and delectable menu. Strong employee-employer relationship and proper guidance are provided to innovate the way they manage their people. This is their secret to produce employees that remain for more than a decade. 
"Kung hindi nila kami pinagtiyagaan, naturuan doon sa craft na pinili namin or doon sa binigay nila sa amin na opportunity, I think hindi namin ito mararating. (If they were not patient enough to train us in our chosen craft or in the opportunity they gave us, we wouldn't be here.)," says Josiah's Brand Director Mherlyn Comia, a 12-year employee.


It is not every day that you would find a company you would treat like family and stay with for more than a decade. But for the happy employees of Josiah’s Catering, they have found one. “Josiah’s Catering wouldn’t be the catering company it is today without the people who dedicated their passion and hard work for it. That is why we dedicate our 27th anniversary to our people. Here, we do not see each other as co-workers. We are one family,” says Freshnaida Versoza, Chief Operating Officer of Josiah’s Catering.

Gelatofix Officially Opens Its Doors As A Premiere Lifestyle Café 

Gelatofix Officially Opens Its Doors As A Premiere Lifestyle Café 

Gelatofix Officially Opens Its Doors As A Premiere Lifestyle Café 

Gelatofix, a premiere Lifestyle Café, officially opens its doors in its first Philippine branch at the Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig.  The world-class café is renowned for their over the top gelato creations and exquisite cuisine created by award-winning chefs, Gelato World Cup Champion, Master Chef Filippo Novelli and Gelatofix Master Chef David Chang. 

 

A Place To ‘Gelato-fix’ And Chill!


The philosophy of Gelatofix is to give everyone a place where they can ‘hang their hats’ which is an Italian way of saying, ‘take a break’. Wilson Lim, Executive Director, International Business, Singapore’s Commonwealth Capital Group exclaims: “Like a true Italian, we love our gelato and believe no day is complete without our fix of gelato.  With Gelatofix, we wanted to showcase a piece of Italian heritage with each gelato experience by our Filipino customers. Here, we use only the most natural ingredients, prepared via a process that is both masterful and artisanal.” 

Signature Creations & Award-Winning Master Chefs


Gelatofix has the most remarkable handcrafted gelato masterpieces created by the Gelato World Cup Champion, Master Chef Novelli. Lim enthused: “We are known for having the smoothest and creamiest Italian gelato and for our first class and exquisite gelato gourmets from piatti (in plates), coppe (in cups), toasts and cakes. But what we are most proud of is the ‘Gelato Sushi’ creation by Master Chef Novelli.” 




Lim also boasts of their signature toast box, also known as the ‘Magic Boxx’, created by Gelatofix Master Chef David Chang. It is a unique fusion of Asian bread toasted to perfection, cubed in sweet buttery texture, topped with Italian gelato and served with a treasure chest of renowned Gelatofix chocolate sauce. 



Extraordinary Café’ Menu










But Gelatofix is more than just gelato. It also serves nutritious gourmet salads, rich-flavored soups, lavish mains, and to-die-for beverages. For the health-conscious, there are the Italian-inspired gourmet salads that balance off the greens with fruits and dressing, topped with a creamy scoop of Fior di Latte gelato. If you want something unique for an entrée, try the pasta selection with Portobello mushrooms, crunchy prawns, succulent squids and juicy parma ham. And for those who are looking for local flavors, Gelatofix provides an array of the best and locally curated Filipino-inspired dishes.






Growing Gelatofix in the Philippines & the World

“We will be the first in the Philippines to launch an authentic lifestyle café chain under Gelatofix. It will be the destination of choice for both young people and working adults who are in the prowl for mouth-watering yet guilt-less gelato and food offerings which make a serious play on both Italian and local flavors,” said Mr.Von Lacorte, Director, Gelatofix Philippines.  



He adds that another five new Gelatofix outlets will be added over the next 12 months in Metro Manila so more people will have the ‘fix’ they need, whenever and wherever they crave for it.


Internationally, the Gelatofix café chain will be available in Cambodia, Kuwait, Maldives, and Qatar.
