Magnum Cafe Manila: The Pleasure Authority

There is something about limited edition that makes you want to hoard like there's no tomorrow. Same goes with pop up restaurants. Knowing its inevitable end makes you positively curious enough to try it out, despite the long lines, despite the hassle, despite all the cons because you just have to. It's almost a matter of life or death. I kid, of course! But isn't it true? The more something becomes more fleeting, the more hype it gets?

There Ain't No Party Like A Swensen's Ice Cream Party!

A few weeks ago, I was feeling a bit dejected and scared due to work relocation issues. I have been reporting to the same client for more than 2 years, that the news definitely felt like I was a fish being reeled out of water. So I decided my send-off party will not happen just once, but as many times as possible. One of them was an ice cream party, because as they say "I've never met a problem a proper dessert couldn't fix".

A Spoonful of Heaven at Swensen's

 

Strawberry Chocolate Lava

 250.00 PHP or around  6.13 USD

 Hello world! I feel like I'm feeling a bit lost here. I've been on blogging hiatus since early 2012 and have updated this blog sporadically, with non food related posts mostly, but I just want to say that I'm back! When Swensen's invites me (an inactive and delinquent food blogger!), who am I to say no? So I said YES. :)

Fried? Ice Cream

Food stalls and establishments inside malls are getting more and more creative these days. They come up with  more unique ways to serve a food, that let's admit is pretty common and you can buy almost anywhere. Take ice cream for example. Would you rather buy a plain old 1 scoop ice cream on a boring cone or be delighted watching your ice cream literally get fried in front of you? I chose the latter. :)

Icebergs

I think I lost my sweet tooth already, I can't even find myself to finish a slice of chocolate cake nowadays, I guess it's BF's turn to get the sweet tooth this time. Because when we were thinking of where to eat, he said he wanted some ice cream, and we both agreed it's time to try Icebergs.

While waiting for our orders, we eyed the place. I really liked their vibrant red walls, I thought it would be a cool color for a living room. Their canvasses of their ice creams are also quite eye catching that one can't help but drool while waiting for their food to arrive.

Have any of you tried their Fish and Chips yet? Well then if you haven't, don't. It's pretty much a waste of money. The fish and chips tasted funny, the consolation was that they served us a lot.

BF tried their Chocolate Sundae. It was a simpler eye candy than my order, their Black Forest Parfait, but nevertheless, still yummy and oh so sweet.

Here's my Black Forest Parfait with cherry on top! Are you drooling now?
