The other day, I was craving for an icecream as I was looking at my 'ube twilight sky' pics.🍦Well, it seemed that my wish has come true! Oh my goodness! "Mababaw na kaligayahan" (Happiness is only shallow)...😬 This afternoon, as I was checking on the sky and flowers from our veranda, my gaze was drawn to something else. Our neighbor across the street was putting up a box and a tarpaulin advertisement of something infront their store. What could it possibly be?🤔 I went down to inquire about it, "naki-Marites"...!😬 Haha!🤣 (Marites is the term used to describe someone in the Philippines who is 'curious' and wants to know what's going on around the neighborhood, such as asking what's the latest). And, oh well, it turned out that they're putting up a fridge for a particular brand of ice cream to sell! Wow! So it seemed that I won't have to travel any farther to buy. The brand was not as well-known as Selecta or Magnolia, but considering the much lower price, I believe it was not that bad after all! 😄 Unfortunately, there was no 'ube' flavor available. Yay! They did, however, have this chocolate-covered vanilla and milk ice cream. It looked mouth watering!😋 So I bought three right away, one for myself and two for the boys. One only costs about 20 pesos (or $0.40)... Not bad to quench and cool yourself in a hot weather! In all fairness, the flavor was quite pleasant. It's really delicious! It's just that the boys weren't satisfied with one and demanded more ice cream so I had to go out and buy another. Oops, it looks that my coins will be jeopardized as a result of this ice cream frenzy!😬 Haha!😂 We also have here a local ice cream called 'sorbetes' or 'dirty ice cream' that is sold by a vendor who roams around town with his bell and cart. When you hear the sound of 'cring cring'🎶 you know that 'Manong Sorbetero' (Ice cream man) is already on the streets nearby. Sorbetes is particularly tasty when served with a bread. This is very popular here in the Philippines, it appears that every kid in the neighborhood eats 'sorbetes' and anyone who doesn't know what a 'sorbetes' is, is a liar!? 🤣Joke! However, due to the pandemic, we rarely see one around. What about you guys, what's your favorite ice cream flavor? Have you tried any of the local 'sorbetes'?
