My family and I have been keeping our love affair with gelato, yogurt and ice cream. Perhaps with different intensity but we love ’em all. Personally, they’re few of my comfort foods. I always say that the world is incomplete and unhappy, at least for me, without these cold treats.
We may have forgotten the brands but the tastes were so remarkable that even after 5 years had passed, my wife and I can still remember how rich and creamy ice creams in Auckland, NZ were.
Yogurt is such a hit nowadays here in Manila since most Pinoys are already conscious of healthy living. Well for me and my wife Tina, we just like to enjoy it so we’ve tried two of the many available brands here (RED MANGO and YOH-GURT-FROZ) and we can’t help but to compare it with ice cream.
Considering its nutritional value with lesser calories and fats and its taste ofcourse, usually served with fresh fruits and/or nuts, we certainly like yogurt. But I can’t imagine a world without ICE CREAM! It’s one of my comfort food. There’s always that kid-in-me who craves for ice cream every now and then. Who cares if it’s summer or rainy days? Ice cream for me is always in season. Although I already avoided eating dirty ice cream (sold by street vendors) after watching a TV documentary on how it’s prepared and done, I settled for the commercially available sorbetes.
I also like ice cream cakes. I grew up having few of my birthday cakes were ice cream cakes bought by my parents from Magnolia Ice Cream House in Aurora Blvd in Quezon City. Just a few months ago, we tried FIVE COWS in TriNoma that serves frozen desserts such as ice cream and ice cream cakes. We also liked it. View my previous post about it –>HERE
The last time we’re in Greenbelt 3 in Makati, we tried GELATONE, a small restaurant that serves GELATO, or Italian ice cream. Gelatone has so many flavors and variety of gelato dishes to choose from. I just failed to bring a cam that time. So what makes gelato different from ice cream? I heard it’s the lack of air - gelato has less air, or none at all, compared to ice cream.
Yogurt, gelato, or ice cream, I like them all and can’t have one over the other. All of them are delectable!
Yesterday, I and my son Gabby walked to the far end of our street where a convenience store is (what else but 711) to buy what else but ice cream. I was sure of what to buy.
Since we’ve tasted all of the 3 flavors already (Hazelnut Brownie, Chocolate Truffles and Berry Strawbery), we have singled out our favorite. All of those 3 Selecta Gold ice cream flavors are decadent, but we like Berry Strawberry so much. Perhaps we had so much of chocolates (we usually got tons lots of them sent by my in laws from the US and it takes us few months to consume them all unless we give some to our siblings, nieces and nephews which we do actually) that we deviated our preference to something fruity and creamier….
With generous amounts of strawberries and richness of its cream, I’d say it’s just perfect for my palate, for the lack of a better word to describe it. We finished the tub in two seating.
So what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?
I have to stop blogging this, I’m craving for another scoop.
Now, please excuse me, I need to indulge….

As I maximize time to enjoy it, I found myself torn between two kinds of yogurt, LOL.

And just the other day, my wife Tina and I enjoyed YOH-GURT FROZ at Tomas Morato, Quezon City.
Do you like fruits in yogurt? Blueberries, slices of mango and kiwi perhaps ?
The plain yogurt of Yoh-gurt froz was thick and frozen. It took more than a minute of air exposure before it began to melt. We just stared at it for a moment, scrutinized its edge over the rival brand that we’ve also tried and delighted with the experience (twice and counting).
Although Yoh-gurt froz has a little space for its diners, and they use frozen fruit toppings, which according to my wife are better for it lessens the moisture compared to the fresher fruit toppings of other yogurt brands, I say I will not say no to it at any season – summer or not! Refreshingly healthy!
Personally, they’re few of my comfort foods. I always say that the world is incomplete and unhappy, at least for me, without these cold treats.
Tina, Gabby and I give Sebastian’s our two-thumbs up! And definitely we’ll come back soon for more flavors!
