The Fog City Creamery Ensaymada Ice Cream

Ice cream and ensaymada.  Who would have thought that these two unlikely pair could yield a beautiful marriage meant to be savored in this lifetime?
 

Enter The Fog City Creamery’s new addition to its line of artisanal ice cream, ENSAYMADA ICE CREAM.  The first ever ensaymada ice cream to hit the market. 

Of the many collaboration I have witnessed, The Fog City Creamery and Homemade Treasures is definitely one of the best.   A combination of The Fog City Creamery’s Brown Butter Ice Cream and chunks of Homemade Treasures Ensaymada made from an heirloom recipe of the 1930s. 

Casa Armas Tapas Bar Y Restaurante

When you are scheduled to attend two dinners in one night, with a daunting 15 minute interval from the end of the first to the start of the second, begging off to either one seems like the most humane thing to do.  But if you are a twenty something foodie who believes that given your age, you can stuff yourself silly and still get away with it, you held your head high and man up. 

A dinner at Casa Armas Tapas Bar Y Restaurante located in Greenbelt 2 is not something you would just pass up. Even if you are scheduled to revisit another restaurant which you deem as one of the best restaurants in Metro Manila on the same night, Spanish cuisine at Casa Armas is well worth the extreme degree of satiety you’ll be nursing hours after. So, unless you fancy being haunted by the drool worthy sight of Casa Armas’ Cochinillo in your sleep, you carry on.

That epic dinner I was talking about happened couple of months ago. Yet, the memory remains as vivid as the glistening skin of the cochinillo hinting of brittle candy-like crispiness.  Definitely a memory I will not soon forget.
