Korean Ice Cream

When we delve into the realm of Korean cuisine, our minds often conjure images of bold, spicy flavors that can turn even the palest faces a fiery red. The immediate associations include iconic dishes like kimchi and fiery hot noodles. 

Personally, my taste buds gravitate towards the delightful experience of samgyupsal—grilled pork belly savored with lettuce, kimchi, garlic, and assorted relishes—making it my absolute favorite. If these dishes already tantalize your senses, then brace yourself for the delightful world of Korean ice cream—it has the power to melt your heart, leaving you with a satisfied "mmm..."

One standout is the Pangtoa Cookies & Cream ice cream sandwich, a marvel of deliciousness that transcends expectations. Packaged in English for accessibility, it is available in both chocolate and vanilla flavors. According to a blog I came across, the chocolate variant is rumored to outshine even the renowned Magnum!

Picture this: a soft sponge cake embracing a rich filling of cookies & cream ice cream. It's akin to a refined and delectable rendition of the humble "dirty ice cream" served in a bun. Priced at Php55, this delightful ice cream sandwich offers a gourmet experience without breaking the bank, inviting you to savor each heavenly bite.

A delectable addition to your must-try list is Samanco. Imagine vanilla ice cream nestled within a chewy, fish-shaped wrapper, generously adorned with red bean paste. Despite its unassuming appearance, this little fish packs a punch of flavor, and to your surprise, it's quite substantial for a single serving—all for the affordable price of Php55. Don't let its size fool you; the satisfaction it brings is anything but small.
