Binggrae ice cream bars
With this 34-35 degree Celsius temperature here in Metro Manila, who could resist a cold treat? A fruit shake, a Magnum, or even a dirty ice cream, anything just to keep me from overheating. One time after lunch, I chanced upon a store that sells Korean ice cream, I know it’s Korean because of the characters, hahaha. They have Melona but I bought the one similar to an ice cream sandwich at Php 40 each.
Binggrae Ice Cream bar in Cheesecake flavor
I got the cheesecake flavor while Jeff got (of course!) the chocolate. He was expecting a similar taste like his favorite Funwich, but Binggrae has a chiffon cake.
I wasn’t able to take photos of the chocolate flavor but it tasted good. My cheesecake flavor ice cream bar is rather flat tasting, maybe because I don’t like chiffon cakes that much. These Binggrae ice cream bars remind me of Bake & Churn ice cream cakes.
Aaah, this summer heat will make me gain weight, aside from the calories, I might be worrying about side effects of myoswell too. Taste-testing these ice cream treats from Korea is an adventure on its own, don’t you think? And I plan to try the others like Melona, Cledor, etc… What Korean ice cream brands have you tried? Share!
Naku, ayan na naman… Binggrae na naman na meron sa Puregold sa ibang lugar pero wala dito sa amin. Paki-courier nga kapatid! Samahan mo na nga rin ng Melona!
(Pag natunaw, refund ng courier lol)

I tried few of them lalo na kapag sale (hehehe). Ice creams here are often on sale buy 1 take 1 or 50%… lalo na yong nasa big cups…
