California Dreaming...
Its summer again, and with the increasing temperature nearing the 40s a sudden rise for cold beverage runs parallel with it. If its not cold beverages, ice cream for sure runs through your mind. I'm very particular about ice cream because its something you have to finish and not get only a portion to find out that you didn't like how it tasted. (Happened to me more than once.) Aside from the usual gallons offered by local creameries, here is a list of a few of my favorites: DQ Blizzards and Chowking Halo-Halo. (Will try Razon's next weekend!)
Tucked away in an up & coming mall of Silvercity in Libis, lies a quaint little ice cream shop which offers customizable ice cream. The twist? Its Yoghurt! (healthy!) For the health conscious but still would like to enjoy a frozen treat this is the way to go. Offering fruits for toppings and a few nuts and candies, fruits were the way to go. California Berry anyone?
From the array of choices that were there one could really pick the only ones you wanted in your Yoghurt.
Images on the wall show the different concoctions one can make as well as celebrity customers.
We ordered our yoghurts Medium (because we weren't sure how it would taste like.) A medium cup + 3 toppings was about P115
I picked, Mangoes, Blueberries, and Almonds on mine, and GF picked Strawberries, Blueberries, and Cherries.
Mine tasted fine. The acidity of the Blueberries would have complimented the sweetness of the mangoes had they been ripe enough. (Yes California Berry, make sure that the fruits you use are ripe!)
But I still missed the sweetness that ice cream had but it was different. It tasted good and I could say I would definitely go back.
GF loved her concoction. I didn't get to taste hers as I was driving and was pre-occupied in finishing mine! But she says its her new favorite place so I guess it's that good.
I give it 4 out 5 Chef's Hat only because the mango was not ripe!
Definitely worth to check out at least once! GF and I will be back soon!
Cheers & Happy Eating
