Favorito ice cream

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

Been seeing this ice cream brand in the supermarkets for some time now but didn’t get to try them until about a month ago. Right, I took the photo a month ago and forgot to post the entry. Anyway…

It’s called Favorito Ice Cream. Cheaper than Arce, Selecta and Nestle, a half gallon of Favorito ice cream costs PhP 190.00. What really attracted me to the brand was the flavors–very Filipino. There was one with a Spanish sounding name with a photo of what appeared to be Pastillas. We didn’t buy that one though. Not yet, anyway. We tried the vanilla and another flavor that I can’t remember right now. That’s the vanilla ice cream in the photo but of course that’s not how it looked when we bought it. That was how I served it–with fresh strawberries and mango cubes.

My kids said they liked Favorito. Personally, it was okay. You know? Just okay. But then, I’m not really a serious ice cream eater and, maybe, it had something that the kids noticed but missed my usually critical palate. Worth a try, anyway, even if only for the great price tag.

Stay updated!
