This place always had a long line whenever I passed by. I finally had the opportunity to find out…read morewhy people fall in line for their yogurt. There's a sign that states where the line starts with poles guiding people as to where they should be falling in line. Like numerous others, I didn't see the sign. People started falling in line by the window, which is where I was sitting. I eventually moved my seat. Now, I totally understand what the hype is all about. They offer fruits, sauces, and crunch options that other frozen yogurt companies do not offer. While I was falling in line, someone was writing down what I wanted to order. I was impressed that she upsold me. I was asked which option I wanted. I opted for a cup or tub. Then she asked if I wanted a medium or a large. She didn't ask if I wanted a small, medium, or large. I'm thankful I ordered a medium! The couple behind me had a slight misunderstanding because the female ordered small for them to share. He didn't sound happy with her choice. Eventually, she changed the order to a larger size. I knew that I wanted mango. I am thankful that the employee suggested the Biscoff crunch and sauce. Oh my gosh, I slowly ate my yogurt. I wanted to enjoy every crunch with the sauce and yogurt. They gave a generous amount of everything. I would highly recommend llaollao!

After I gave birth, I wanted still to limit my daily intake of sugar so that I can keep the weight loss. But how can I do that if my mother keeps stocking our ref with my favorite flavors of Dan Eric's Grand Ice Cream? Yes, I've been cheating on my diet with this cheap but delicious ice cream. My mother buys it from an outlet store near the wet market outside of our village (they don't do franchises, they have retailers instead). It's so cheap (almost half the price of the other brands) that she can afford to buy a gallon every week. The Cheese flavor is my kryptonite; it's less cheesy than its more popular competitors, but it's really creamy with just the right sweetness. If it's any consolation, Dan Eric's Ice Cream is not as sweet as those we buy from big supermarkets, so in a way I'm still eating less sugar (I keep telling myself that). It's great for parties because they have it in individual cups (3 oz, 4 oz, 6 oz) to a gallon.

Last time I went they only had 4 ice cream flavors on their menu, but hopefully this increases cause I think their ice cream is the main selling point. I love their Milo dinosaur gelato because of both the flavor and the texture! It was rich and creamy without being so dense, and the idea behind it is interesting and out-of-the-box just like their other flavors. Service was slow but acceptable considering they'd just opened. Worth coming back to! Looking forward to trying their other dishes as well.

Liquid nitrogen gelato is not that different from the regular ice cream but what makes it worth trying is that you are assured of its freshness. FYI, it's made from fresh cow's milk. Upon ordering, the ice cream of your choice is made right in front of you by their well-trained staff. In just a few minutes, and with a little help from liquid nitrogen, they can turn milk into a smooth and creamy ice cream. If you're a coffee lover, I highly recommend their Tiramisu ice cream topped with a piece of broas. It's really good! A cup costs around Php 150.00 but the serving is generous enough for two. They also serve pasta and sandwiches that are just as good. They are still improving on their menu but it doesn't make the experience any different.

I don't buy the "oh it's healthy that's why it's pricey" justification (loaded with sugar, anyway). Try out the different flavors first if you don't know what to get yet. Their staff would be happy to give out samples! I recommend their tangerine flavor if you want something tangy.

I think the best frozen yogurt yet in the South is Pinkberry. I guess what makes it easy to love is…read morethat their flavors are very distinct that even non-yogurt lovers would love it. Every month, they change the flavors in their yogurt selection. Most of the time, the flavors are Original, Peach, Chocolate, Hazelnut, Strawberry and Grapefruit. Among these, my favorite is the Peach flavor. It has the right amount of tang and sweetness without the artificial flavor of Peach. For those who find frozen yogurt too sour, I recommend the Chocolate or Hazelnut. It doesn't taste like frozen yogurt because there's no pinch of sourness. It's like eating ice cream but a healtheir version. Their small cup already has a big swirl of this cold treat so I think it's enough for your frozen yogurt craving. You can also choose one or more kinds of toppings for extra flavor!

Like most kids my age I was totally taken aback by the idea of eating ice cream that was in tiny…read morelittle dots. That's what Dippin Dots basically is. It's ice cream in the form of tiny little dots. They come in a wide variety of different flavors. I can't recommend any flavor because the simple truth is that I've only ever tried it once. My parents told me that the serving was quite small given the exorbitant price to be paid for each serving. The taste itself is nothing special. If memory serves me right, again this was years ago, the flavor I had was bubblegum. Considering the fact that I haven't gone there in what must be more than a decade, it shows you just how good it really is. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try it. To its credit though, the Dippin Dots in Alabang Town Center is one of the older establishments in the mall. The fact that it still stands means some people actually like it. I guess you could say that it just aint my cup of ice cream.

As a kid, I remember being totally fascinated with Dippin Dots. Ice cream but in cute, colorful…read morelittle spheres? What's not to love? I jumped at every chance to have a cup of their frozen fun. This was THE ultimate ice cream shop in my grade school; everybody who bought from here was the coolest of the cool kids. Now that I'm older, however, the magic has faded a little. Now I recognize that the prices are kinda high in respect to the amounts you get, and out of respect for my body, I try not to buy their mostly unimpressive ice cream too often (not really worth the calories). But sometimes, when I particularly miss being a kid and there's a stand nearby, I treat myself to a small cup of their bubble gum or banana split dots, savor the texture of the micro ice cream scoops, and everything is alright again for a little while.

Pick three flavors with whip cream, cherry on top and chocolate wafer stick. The wafer is crunchy and not stale like others would be. And there's peanuts served for anyone that is allergic to it, just request to not have it in there. Ice cream is hard and fresh and not milky or watery. Well worth the price for a place like this.

Now that I'm a mom, I want to make happy memories with my daughter. So I thought of bringing her to Magnolia Flavor House since she loves ice cream so much. Good thing they opened up a branch in Robinson's Las Pinas. We shared an order of their Banana Split and I must say, there's a reason why Magnolia has been around for decades: they know ice cream. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the chocolate-vanilla-strawberry combination. For those who want to veer away from the classics, they have the Cold Marble selections where they try to up their ante and serve new ice cream combinations (I thought the Cream Cheese and Corn was delicious). I just hope they can include some more ice cream flavors on the menu (the ones they sell in the supermarkets). I was expecting the other food on the menu to take a backseat, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they also taste good. They serve "grown-up food" like Gambas and Buffalo Wings, and they do a good job at it. My daughter liked that she can see how her ice cream was being embellished with her favorite toppings, and I liked that I can breastfeed without getting conscious on their super comfy chairs. I think I found a great place for our mom and daughter dates.

It's small and doesn't pretend to be something big or fancy. It sticks its neck out hoping to be noticed by someone. I noticed, so I gave it a shot. Ice cream is after all a man's best friend during the summer months here in the Philippines. Their flavors range from basic to premium and I gotta say that I prefer the premium because that's where Cookis N Cream, my favorite flavor, falls under. Their ice cream is great considering what I had to pay for it. the only thing I disliked however, is that they never offer to sell their ice cream in cups. It's always in cones. I for one prefer to eat my ice cream in cups since I don't really enjoy the cones anyway. If you're on the lookout for affordable and good ice cream, but are tired of the main brands, then feel free tp give this one a try because it deserves more customers.

Cold Stone Creamery is an ice cream parlor. It distinguishes itself from other places that sell ice…read morecream because they actually mix and beat toppings into the ice cream on a cold slab, hence the name cold stone. Think of it this way, they sort of treat the ice cream like dough and the toppings as the ingredients that you want to mix it with. There are so many different flavors to choose from, but I don't think you'll go wrong with any of them. Their milk shaeks are a bit on the steep side, but I'd say that they're worth the price considering just how good they are. The Cold Stone in Alabang Town Center must be owned by either a genius or a jerk. During the summer, waiting for the ice cream can be a bit of a torture. Maybe they did this on purpose to make it easier to feel the soothing sensation of having ice cream from them during the hot summer days.

ICE is a small snack bar inside BF Resort Village. It's mostly an ice cream shop but they offer more than just that. They also have other snacks like hotdogs, shakes, crepes and my healthy alternative to ice cream, frozen yogurt. I wasn't able to try it though, because their soft-serve ice cream machine wasn't working when we went. But the ones we tried were good. We had pancake pizza, which was a really thin pancake topped with ham and melted cheese. The ice cream sandwich was also delicious. There are still a lot of items on the menu that I like to try, so I'll probably be back soon. This is a nice place to bring your kids (if you're going to let them eat ice cream) or to get some work done (they have free wifi).
