The ice is perfectly shaved and with no signs of any stray lumps. Not too sweet either, it's perfectly balanced and you can drizzle your own condensed milk on top of your snow. The place is kid friendly too.

My first Milk Coe experience was near SF, California. I'm not sure if the two are affiliated but it…read moreseems like they are. Because of this, when my coworkers suggested going to this Cebu IT Park location, I was all onboard. Wel, we have been a few times now and they've only ever had honeycomb once. :-| The ice cream is still good and they made cotton candy for my little boy, though, so I guess I'll give them three stars. Still, when you specialize in something, it'd be nice to have in stock. I'll try once more on my next trip and see how things go. Might see me there.

When I went here, the place was packed! They have limited seating as well. They just recently…read moreopened and still are currently on a soft opening as of this writing. I ordered the Milky Cube (M3) which is a soft serve organic milk ice cream with a cube of honey comb on top. The serving size was just right although kinda on the pricey side, nevertheless it was really good. Just the right amount of sweetness along with a nice touch of honey comb on top. I have to say, this has got to be one of the best ice cream here in Cebu. I would definitely come back again and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good place to eat ice cream/dessert.

When Gelatissimo first opened at the Ayala Center in Cebu, I thought there is no way this place is…read moregoing to survive here!! Wow, I was wrong!! Years later, they are still open!! I am so happy that they have continued to survive and do well because I think they make some of the best gelato that I have ever tried in the world!! Yup, I said it. I've eaten gelato when visiting Italy, and the gelato made at Gelatissimo is just as good (in my humble opinion). Why did I think they would not make it here? At the time (about 10 years ago), I thought their prices were too expensive for the locals to afford. Yes, the quality of the products is excellent. Prices though are high. With that being said, though, I'd be a regular at Gelatissimo every time we visit Ayala Center. To me, they are worth the hefty price. Happy to see that I am not the only one who thinks so because they are still in business after all these years. They have a multitude of flavors to choose from. You can ask to sample some flavors to help you decide what you want. Currently, my favorite flavors are their Chunky New York Cheesecake and their Creme Caramel. Look forward to trying all the flavors one of these days. Anyways, make sure to drop by Gelatissimo when you are the Ayala Center in Cebu City. I doubt that you will be disappointed.

They've been here for a few years now and I have to say this place is one of the best places to…read morehave your gelato/ice cream fix. They make their gelato fresh everyday (that's what my friend who works there said) and using only the finest ingredients available. Everytime I go to the mall, I usually drop by and get a scoop of my favorite flavor. I have to say, they have been quite consistent on their gelato. It hasn't changed one bit. They also try to introduce new flavors every now and then so that the customers won't get tired of the usual ones. The good part is that if you are curious of a certain flavor, you can ask them if want to have a taste before buying a scoop or two. Definitely worth the price you pay.

We sampled the green tea, forest berry, pistachio, berry yoghurt, and rum raisin. The only one we didn't like was the pistachio, as it didn't taste like pistachio (which is normally a choice pick for me). One scoop was 130php, which is a bit pricey for The Philippines but, considering the higher end decor and nice area it's in, that was expected. Plus I like the fact that they have a sink for you to wash your hands at to the side of the register. We'll be back. Might see ya there!

Snowbowls was amazing! On my first visit to Cebu and the Philippines, I was told to try Snowbowls…read moreCreamery. As soon as I entered the store, I was taken aback by the beautiful ceiling lights. The lights changed colors and reminded me of the northern lights. The entire decor was white and felt like I had been teleported away from the sweltering summer heat to someplace very cold and comfortable. I ordered the halo halo which was absolutely exquisite. The flavors and textures from the exotic ube and sweet milk snow combo, along with the jackfruit and cornflakes, blended perfectly together. I also got to try the chocolate which was exceptional as well. Overall, I would recommend anyone to check out Snowbowls if they are looking for a one-of-a-kind dessert place!

So far one of the best snow ice in Cebu. The exotic taro is so good. There are other toppings to…read morechoose from but I just want to keep it simple and get the regular corn flakes and drizzled with condensed milk. The place is not that big though but I hear they are planning to expand and open other branches around Cebu.

I was just wandering around the mall and passed by this cute milk tea shop on the top floor. I…read morenever tried Happy Lemon before and it looked inviting so I was like, why the hell not? Indeed, I was not disappointed. I went for their milk tea with rock salt and cheese, with the sugar level at 100% and I love it. I know the flavor sounds unusual but I guess that's the thing with outside-of-the-box concepts - either you'll find a gem that will totally rock your socks off or it's an epic fail. With this, it's definitely a win for me and would recommend it to anyone who loves to try new things.

Coco Ichibanya is located off F. Cabahug St. at the Bonifacio District Retail Center. If you're…read morecoming from the Ayala Mall area it'll be on your left on that street after the curve. Upon entering we were greeted, loudly, then promptly seated. We ordered the Pork Cutlet Curry and I believe the Chicken Curry as well. As I browsed through the menu I did not notice they had naan but didn't say if they the garlic cheese naan that I ordered back in Japan. Anywho since we had time to kill, why not get online while waiting for our food. Uhh well, they only had wifi for the "admin" the waitress said. "Bummer!" I thought. So we waited for awhile for our food.  I decided to head on over to the restroom to wash my hands. Upon entering the restroom smelled good, like the shampoo from Daiso in Japan. However, the hid the toilet paper behind the mirror. Pretty Odd! The bidet toilet was disgusting. Who on earth would even use that bidet in that condition. Also, the toilet was right infront of the sink so if someone was not careful they would end up hitting their head on the sink. Since it was a unisex restroom the men's urinal was comfortably situated on the other side, which I believe for obvious reasons should have been placed on the other side, where the bidet is. But anyway I washed my hands and left. Food arrived and it smelled and tasted similar to the ones in Japan. The downfall?! I believe their pork cutlet is frozen. The outer part was crispy and hot but the inside was a bit chewy and not as hot. So I'm assuming it was previously frozen. Anyway the curry was authentic and matched the seasoning and flavoring to the branches in Japan. When Inwas in Japan I don't recall having the option to choose rice portion size. So I thought that was kinda weird too. Different price points for different rice portion sizes and different kind of rice. We opted for their combo which included ice cream and a drink. Ice cream and the little fruits in it was good. Staff: Throughout our time there various employees were just standing around chit chatting, playing tag with each other, and I believe someone from management sitting at the counter watching movied on their phone. I know there weren't many patrons but I don't think it pleasing to watch employees just randomly doing whatever they want. Anyway our waitress was good her service was acceptable. Overall, I think if you haven't visited coco ichibanya in Japan than this is a way to try it out. Would I come back to this particular one again? Probably not. The establishment itself looks nice and neat, the bathroom ehh yucky. I just wish that the pork wasn't initially frozen because it was soo chewy, like it was flash fried or something. Curry was good. No Wifi, free parking.

Yea......I got a cheeseburger that has so much mayo I was confused and ready to gag. Then I had the spicy fried chicken. The chicken was crunchy, but tasted like it was fried in super old oil.

We were impressed by how sizeable the portions are, and we were happy with the quality of the food. It really is the fast food place for Filipino food even in the Philippines, just as it is in the states. The service was friendly, and the dining area was similar to a mall food court. The palabok was sweet and saucy, and the spaghetti was sweet but could've used a bit more meat. We definitely wouldn't go back for classic Filipino dishes, as there is a limited menu, with mainly noodle and chicken-focused dishes, but we would go back for something quick or if we were craving fried chicken.
