| Sebastian's Sapin-Sapin and Taho flavored Ice Cream |
I
always say that I am not too fond of sweets—especially not with the Filipino
delicacies. Please don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy our own delicacies such as
rice cakes (biko, bibingka, suman) but I seldom eat them because they make my
stomach full. They could be a meal’s replacement anytime. But have you guys ever
heard of unusual ice cream flavors? I’m not referring to the liquor kind, but
the ones that sell Filipino delicacies as its flavors. Yes, Mangga’t Suman
(Mango and rice cake), Sapin-Sapin (colorful glutinous cake), another take on
Filipino staple Taho (Soya) and even champorado (chocolate rice porridge) as
its flavors!

| Sebastian's Champorado Flavored Ice cream |
I
accidentally learned of Sebastian’s unique delicacy-flavored ice cream in an
event hosted by AyosDito.ph held at COWO Asia in Ortigas several weeks ago. And
I’d have to say I am quite impressed. It was the first time I heard of them and
also the very first I tried on their ice cream.

Sebastian’s Sapin-sapin ice cream initially looked
like Halo-halo because it’s really colorful. But upon my first scoop, I knew right away that they
perfectly got how the real sapin-sapin tastes like. Then, I tried on their
champorado ice cream—it not only looks like a real champorado, it actually
tastes like one—although a bit too dark for my taste. It had chunks of rice
bits that are actually somewhat crispy, complementing its taste more for the
added texture. The taho ice cream is a pretty good spin, imagine the goodness
of real taho, frozen and added with mini sago pearls, it’s refreshing! But the
most favored by all was the Mangga’t Suman—I guess it’s way too good because I
was not able to get one. But
friends could attest, it is to-die-for! It had that sweet and tangy of real
mango and the sticky sweetness of suman. No wonder it had gone so fast during
the said event.

My
verdict: If you’re a big fan of Filipino delicacies, this one’s really for you.
But if you are simply curious on how it tastes like, I suggest that you share a
scoop with a friend because after sometime, there’s a possibility that one gets
to become “umay” or “sawa”, (read: you might not be able to finish eating this
ice cream by yourself), either because of the huge serving or the stuff this
ice cream is made from. Anyhow, Sebastian did a good spin on our Filipino
delicacy favorite by creating unique ice cream flavors.
If
you’d want to try these yummy ice cream treats from Sebastian’s, get yours at
only Php100 per scoop at their kiosk branches in The Podium, Ortigas and at the
SM North EDSA.
