Sweet Tooth Satisfaction at Swensen's


  Is there anyone in the world who hates sweets? If there is, then something is seriously wrong with him. I mean, there is no reason to not like these treats. They give every meal a perfect ending. Most specially ice creams! It is sweet and it is cold. Perfect for our tropical climate.

  Swensen's has been in the Philippines for two years already. Geraldine and I have visited their Eastwood branch multiple times since it opened. It was a nice experience. Cozy interior. Great lighting. Accommodating staff.


Even their glasses are cute

Fondue for Two - Php340

Order#1 - Fondue for Two

  Four scoops of ice cream (your choice), mango and banana. Served with warm chocolate fondue. Our mini ice cream scoops were Macadamia, Blueberry Cobbler, Strawberry Cheesecake and Wild@Heart, all of which were great even without the chocolate. The mango was not sweet though. For 340pesos this might be a little expensive considering there are only four mini scoops, a banana and a sour ripe mango. BUT all the scoops are HITs. 



Blueberry Cobbler, Strawberry Cheesecake, Macadamia, Wild@Heart


Apparently, Geraldine's spoon is longer than mine because she ordered a large bowl of ice cream. No height jokes here.



Oreo Brownie - Php265
   So this was Geraldine's Oreo Brownie Basket. I think there were two scoops of ice cream served with brownies, Oreo and banana. Topped with chocolate syrup and almonds. Nothing much to say other than Geraldine enjoyed every bit of it. Safe to say this is a HIT.





Frosted Choc Malt Fantasy - Php285

  I ordered this because I love Maltesers. They are crunchy on the outside but chocolatey inside. This sundae was good but it lacked Maltesers. There were only a few. About five maybe? And I wanted more! It felt like I did not get what I paid for. It was good though. No doubt about that. So we declare this a CRAVE HIT.






  Our latest trip to Swensen's involved the Happy Sundaes. We tried them because they were cheap (99pesos) compared to their usual 200++ prices. We ordered their Happy Mango and Happy Strawberry.






Meanwhile, here are some pictures to show you what food photography can do:








  Each sundae only has one scoop of ice cream. Nevertheless we enjoyed them. Geraldine ordered mango and I ordered strawberry. But we liked the other's ice cream more so we ended up switching sundaes. She loved the strawberry-banana combo. I however love the mango-sticky rice-corn flakes combo. It reminded me of Cerealicious' Jumango minus the sticky rice. What I liked about the sticky rice was that it balanced out the flavor and texture of the sundae. CRAVE HITS!!!!

  Swensen's also make great milkshakes. Try everything out and end your day with a sweet flavorful treat :)
