So, this is my 3rd visit to a Magnum: Rome, Copenhagen and now Manila. By far, this location is the cheapest at about $2.20 a bar, compared to double that at least in Rome and Copenhagen. This is a relatively new store and gaining recognition among Manileños. Seeming that there is a cafe that closed in 2015, this must be the resurrection of MM in a stall type setup. It's on the second floor of the MOA (Mall of Asia) next to an Illy coffee shop (perfect combo). You pick 3 toppings, all laid out on the counter. So the playbook goes: pick your ice cream, your 3 poison toppings, and the person behind the bar assembles your Magnum. The toppings were delicious, the ice cream authentic; Magnums shipped to world locations like Manila, frozen. The flavors are consistent to the brand ice cream-- the only difference is each city has it own local flava when it comes to toppings. Great product, one less star for new and untrained staff.

Tip: An espresso with this bar (next door) is delish if you like strong coffee. read more
