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.

The ice cream was fantastic. Very Vanilla Shake was good. Sales lady had a bad attitude. This…read morebranch was in Evia Lifestyle Center.

I am adventurous with food. I will try anything once (as long as i know it's REALLY edible -- gotta…read morestay alive!), and this includes the strangest possible ice cream flavors around. Here, Sebastian's makes the absolute best ones that you'd never think possible but just absolutely work, like Champorado and Tuyo, and my all-time favorite, Green Mango Ice Cream topped with Bagoong. REAL bagoong. No, really. Salty fish paste ON green mango-flavored ice cream. It may be strange to some, but it was just plain wonderful for me. The flavors came together so seamlessly that i almost forgot it was even remotely weird for bagoong to be on ice cream. Next time you see a Sebastian's, don't pass it off as just another ice cream stand. Come up and have a look at their flavors (they do have some relatively normal ones) and try some. Who knows, maybe they have your next favorite flavor combo.

Been seeing this on my friends' social media accounts and is said to follow the mango graham float…read morecraze. Instead of using mangoes, they use avocados. It might be weird to non-Filipinos that avocados are being used for desserts but this is the typical way we eat avos in the Ph -- with milk and sugar, in shake/smoothie form or ice creams. Avocadoria.ph is a kiosk inside Alabang Town Center in front of Le Sucre Lab (another popular dessert place) on the Lower Ground floor near Metro Department store. I initially just wanted soft serve avocado ice cream because the lady said they use real avocados in their ice cream so that piqued my interest. Unfortunately, they don't have just the soft serve ice cream option without all the toppings at a lower price. You can only choose their avocado lover priced at Php110 and just opt out of the toppings you don't want. Avocado lover comes with graham crackers, pearls, chia seeds, almonds and a few chunks of fresh avocado with an 8oz serving of soft serve avocado ice cream. Since I'm gluten free, I opted not to have crushed graham crackers and I also said no pearls (just not a fan of boba pearls). Upon tasting the soft serve ice cream, it really did taste like it was made with real avocados. (Note: I used to work for a flavor company and avocado flavor is sooo difficult to do well and taste like the real thing). I liked the addition of the chia seeds, almonds and avocado chunks as it added texture to the cup. However, what I noticed was that after eating half of the cup, I started getting a bitter note. The bitterness is typical to some avocado fruits -- either they were still unripe or just the specific variety. Because the bitterness was slowly compounding, I opted not to finish the remaining ice cream in my cup. Overall, I liked it and the soft serve tasted delicious at first before the bitterness crept in. I think the bitterness just depends on the fruit they have so this is understandable. Will bring the hubby here when he's in town because he loves avocado shakes and ice creams.

One great thing about this particular F.I.C. branch is that they actually have seating: there's one…read morecouch, a long counter with high stools, and a couple of small circular tables with chairs. Not a big enough space for multiple groups though. Another plus point is since it's almost a cafe instead of a simple stand, they offer big sundaes! I was hoping for an apple crumble, but unfortunately it wasn't available. :( However, my lola, sister, and I have already made plans to share a banana split when we return.

Years before I tasted gelato and different ice cream flavors, my favorite brand in the world was…read moreFruits in Ice Cream, and I still eat their ice cream from time to time now. FIC is sweet, creamy, and packed in flavor. This was where I tasted green tea ice cream for the first time, and it was love at first bite! It just had the right blend of sweetness, creaminess, and green tea-ness without being bitter. Since then, I always looked for an FIC branch whenever I had an ice cream craving. They have other nice flavors too, including local ones like nangkasuy, and I've tried them, but I am still biased toward the green tea. I don't recall them serving sundaes and splits then (maybe they did, and I was just too fixated on good ol' ice cream), but I noticed they do now. While it's a novelty to try, I still go back to the usual ice cream in a scoop also out of nostalgia.

Cara Mia and Amici were built by the same people, and this Cara Mia branch is right beside (or no,…read moreactually they're in the same space!) Amici, which is very convenient. You can get your cakes or gelato right after your tasty pasta treat! Talk about heaven. I was on a very special date when I went here the first time. My boyfriend introduced me to his family. Okay, enough about me. TMI. Now, if you haven't been here (and if there's a branch near you) I suggest you go ahead and try their gelato and cakes. Of course there are a lot of bakeries selling awesome cakes, but Cara Mia's is something else. I suggest you try their Sea Salted Caramel Crunch, it's made of light chiffon, mocha and some caramel crunch on top. It only costs Php 95 for a slice, and a whole cake costs Php 695. Not bad eh?

This is a charming homey restaurant in Westgate. I brought a friend here for dessert. She has…read morenever been here. My friend ordered strawberry shortcrepe and was disappointed that the strawberry was a jam rather than fresh ones. Even then, the jam was minuscule. Instead, it had plenty of strawberry syrup. She liked the crepe itself and thought the strawberry ice cream was delicious. I ordered the Pinay crepe that had plenty of fresh mangoes and chocolate syrup. It did not come with ice cream so I ordered chocolate ice cream as a supplement. I enjoyed every bite because the crepe was warm and the right amount of supple. Surprisingly, it was not too sweet. Hubby ordered the mango crepe with Grand Marnier and coffee ice cream. He enjoyed it. Coming here every time we come to the Philippines has become our tradition. It is comfort food and the service is always excellent.

Also, price hasn't increased that much which is great and service has always been attentive. They serve their crepes on their signature blue and white plates and the interiors haven't changed much too. I always request them to make my crepe a bit crunchy to have more texture. Their coffee and their burgers are good too. Overall happy that this place is still doing well and that they've maintained consistency over the years.

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.
