Just when I thought I’ve explored the entirety of one of the biggest malls in the world, I was surprised and a bit “kilig” to know that one of the pleasurable ice cream shops in the world is finally here at the SM Mall of Asia! Hello, Magnum Pleasure Store! Are you ready for me?

Last week, Magnum Philippines officially open its newest and latest Pleasure Store in the world here at the 2nd Level of SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. A store inspired by its first Pleasure Store in SM Aura, Magnum Pleasure Store MOA offers a sun-shinny appeal as it strategically located at the Main Wing of the mall. Though, a little small and less private, Pleasure Store in the Mall of Asia offers the same delectable customized Magnum Bars complete with 18 wonderful toppings that you’ll surely enjoy

What would you do if one day someone handed you a golden stub that will entitle you take home an amazing and golden prize? Isn't in amazing? That's what I simply experienced earlier.

Marciano's - More than just a Pizza Parlor

I guess once you experienced this place, you will agree to me when I say that this the most sophisticated pizza place here in the metro. With an ambiance fit for sophisticated style and palette, Marciano's Pizza Pasta Steak in Greenbelt 3 offers not just a wide array of Italian and American dishes suit for the ever-demanding taste of Filipinos, but it also shares a one wonderful "New Yorker" experience that is hard to forget.

A few days before Christmas, just before we indulge to a sumptuous feast prepared by our family, I was invited to join two of the metro's best writers to dine in this blooming name in the food industry. With a name that depicts nothing but Italian, Marciano's is one of the many restaurants owned by the 2012 MVP Bossing awardee, 2012 Young Entrepreneur of the Year and 2012 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Mr. Marvin Agustin.

Creating a new concept out from his greatly Asian-inspired restaurants like John and Yoko, Marciano's on the other hand offers a Western experience that is just hard to resist. And that day, we indulge to a luncheon of pizza and pasta with matching some chicken and shrimp with fries that fill our tummy and let it feel the festivity brought by the Holidays.

Boracay: Aria Gelato Italian Ice Cream

I know that one of the greatest reasons why we keep visiting Boracay, world’s top 4 destinations, is because we wanna experience the heat of the sun in a very good and enjoyable way. But did you know that enjoying the sun in a very “cool” way is so easy to do too here? And it comes with the word “delicious” too! Two words, Aria Gelato.

When I got to visit Boracay, I didn’t have the most ideal weather back then. There were a lot of times that it was cloudy, and there were those that the sun is shining the brightest. And during those times that the sun is shining the brightest, I took the opportunity to have a delectable and heat-beating gelato that you could find on the island.

Gelato has been a household name for years now, and in Boracay, you can have some by juts visiting the mini spot of Aria, which is located at the D Mall, Station 2.

Super Mango at Dairy Queen!

Yes! Summer time is here! And as the summer heat goes up, we prepare our tanning lotion, beach shorts, floaters and our most favourite food during summer - ICE CREAM!

With their new offerings for this summer, I'm sure MANGOholics will enjoy every cool delights that they have!

1st Philippine Chocolate and Ice Cream Show

It is more on the business side than about the showcase of different chocolates and ice creams per se, but I still got to enjoy and learn something new about the industry of chocolate and ice cream making at the 1st Philippine Chocolate and Ice Cream Show.

Typhoon Basyang couldn’t stop this mouth-watering event as chocolate and ice cream aficionados and retailers conquered World Trade Center in Pasay City to witness this gathering of pots and pans, flours and sugars for the country’s first ever chocolate and ice cream expo.

From nuts, to wines, to soda and soda makers, to the displays of their sweet products, to the stuff that you can use for parties, basically, everything was at this expo.
