Sebastian's Ice Cream Studio

Yesterday was a holiday in the Philippines. One of the "monday celebrated holiday" laws of GMA, in lieu of the National Heroes Day.

I went with Tita Amy to Grace's place in Antipolo. We had some family time together - RJ, Mari, Ronnie, Grace and Tita. Ronnie prepared some grilled pork liempo and chicken barbecue for lunch, while Grace cooked some shrimps and squash with coconut milk. It was a hearty meal indeed, even the kids had a blast. We ate some ice cream too while Tita feasted on sweetened white yam with coconut milk. Despite the rain, the kids were in a good mood. They played with the yo-yos that Tita brought as pasalubong for them. Another toy, mickey mouse on surf board with candies inside was also played at.

Late into the afternoon, I showed the kids my camera phone and they had fun taking each other's pictures and the pictures of the stuff toys. Good thing, I had with me my Ixus camera as well, so both of them had a camera. It was a riot indeed, until we bid goodbye.

I dropped Tita near SM Megamall so she can take the bus to Novaliches while I drove to Podium for some washroom break. As Lani was not done yet with work, I did some window shopping.

In the third floor, a new ice cream stand had opened. It's called Sebastian's Ice Cream Studio, an outlet for premium ice cream. I couldn't help myself, I really need to try out this new ice cream stand. A good assortments of flavor, all very appetizing and creamy to my eyes were on sale. I tried the Dublin Fudge, Chocoholic and another flavor that was the bestseller. All of them tasted heavenly.

Dublin fudge is the personal favorite. I loved its creaminess and not too sweet taste, I could probably eat a pint without thinking about calories. The Chocoholic is for the chocolate addict. True to its name, its made of dark, bittersweet chocoloate. It's not only its main ingredient, large chunks of it are mixed in its creamy form, you would almost die savoring its richness.

There are too many ice creams in the world, all of them special, in their own kind. I would pick Ben and Jerry's as my ultimate favorite. Sebastian's could come in at second choice, then Dippen' Dots, then Dryers, then Haggendaz, the Amici Gelato, then Selecta, then Magnolia and then Nestle. Oh, I'm so craving for ice cream right now.
