When you spell stressed backwards, it's desserts! Just found the perfect place to unload stress and get some glycemic meal loving. My friends and I have very big hearts for ice cream. Don't know why or how but when we hear the word "ice cream" we're always on the mood for it.
We went to SM Mall of Asia to try Magnum Bar, specifically located at 2nd floor, main mall, MOA complex, Pasay City. Their make-your-own ice cream concept made it as fun dining experience as it is munching on it. It was really an exciting experience for us and this kind of food activity will unleash the creativity in you (of course who on earth would like to eat food with unpleasant plating/presentation, right?).
First step on how to design your very own Magnum is to select your preferred toppings "up to any 3" that you like. Sad to say but yes, you are only allowed to pick 3 toppings from the many delectable topping options in front of you. You can start choosing from a delicious range of classic, special or experimental toppings. For me I chose nuts and kisses to make the taste balance because I do not like it to be so sweet.
Step 2 is to select your naked Magnum if it will be vanilla or chocolate. For me I picked chocolate.
You need to select your Magnum chocolate coating for step 3. You can choose between Magnum white, classic or dark. I just pick the third.
For first timers you just can't get rid of looking at others on how they manage to decorate their own ice cream and you just can't think of a better way on how to do yours because of being distracted to tons of options. This ice cream fun activity only cost Php120/person and approximately Php300 for two people (could be lovers or child-parent bonding). Cash only. They are also serving other desserts and bakes and takeaway is available too.
Magnum bar is open from 10am-10pm. Best time to go there is any time you crave for an ice cream (lol). Just go on your most preferred/available time so you will not be on a hurry and enjoy the activity. You should go and see for yourself. Definitely on my list of favorite dessert parlors!
