Insomniac's Mind: I Scream For Ice Cream

I Scream For Ice Cream

Today is my first time in ten years of stay in Manila to find one like this right at my doorstep. I was lucky I got home just in time to catch him. Don't you just miss "Mamang Sorbetero" and his dirty ice cream? Got this one for P10/$0.20.

20 cents? I'm packing my bags and heading to the Philippines! hehehe
I heard shopping is cheap there but I didn't realize how cheap! Even the food? Just my place to live! Thanks for the dessert post! It looks really refreshing and delish, too.

You're right about not seeing where they make those ice cream... in fact, don't even watch the sorbetero scoop the ice cream! :) It's enough that you're eating heaven from a cone. BTW, no ube?

we had such an ice cream stand in our sportsfest. Ubos sya in a couple of hours.

Wait, is it called dirty ice cream because they are literally 'dirty' when making or handling the ice cream? I'm new to this so help a poor girl out? :P

Yes, I miss dirty ice cream, Php2 lang sya noon..hehehe..(tagal na pala).

My kids don't believe me when I told them about this what we call dirty ice cream until last vacation, inabangan ko nga sa labas just to show them. Kinabukasan sila na yung nag-aabang..hehehe.

Posted by j | 5/30/2006 08:54:00 PM

Posted by j | 5/30/2006 08:55:00 PM

oo nga kuya nick, sobrang mabenta talaga ang ganitong ice cream. imagine, ten years akong nagantay sa Manila para sa kanya, he he.

Posted by j | 5/30/2006 08:56:00 PM

Yeah, ms purple. I think that's what they mean aside from the fact that it is sold in the streets, although I myself haven't seen how it is prepared.

Posted by j | 5/30/2006 08:58:00 PM
