Magnum Manila Cafe

Do you love ice cream? Chocolates? Or desserts? Do you live somewhere in Manila? Why not try the Magnum Cafe! The ice cream bar has its own restaurant serving, well... DESSERTS!

Create your own magnum bar or try their plated creations. Who knew there are a lot of ways to enjoy magnum bar. 

Create your own! (Take-out)

Create your own magnum bar. First, choose your base ice cream (vanilla or chocolate). Second, choose your toppings. Maximum of three toppings. I can't remember everything but there are yogurt nible, dried strawberry shavings, almond nuts, pretzels, marshmallows, some kind of pepper flakes (yup!), crushed cookies and cream, etc. 

Then, choose your dip! Would it be gold, milk chocolate or dark chocolate?

After dipping your ice cream bar, they will put now your chosen toppings!

After that, you will again choose from the dipping choices for you drizzle. And then...

Tadaah! My very own magnum creation! For this one, I chose vanilla as my base ice cream, pistachio nuts, yogurt nible and cookies and cream (I think, lol), dark choco for my dip and gold choco for my drizzle. These creations costs Php100 each. Not bad! ;)

Plated Desserts! (Dine-in)

If you would rather sit inside the restaurant and feel its nice (but noisy, maybe from the sugar rush!) ambience, you just have to fall in line and wait for you to be seated. There are a lot of people who are really falling and waiting in line just to have their magnum experience (ehem!). 

The prices of plated magnum desserts costs Php250 and up. Here are some that I've tried:

Death By Chocolate

This is one of their bestsellers. It's a chocolate ice cream bar on top of chicolate brownie whith whip cream and some small choco balls. The brownie is not too sweet which is good. 

Apple Pie

It's an apple pie with the vanilla ice cream on top. The top part of the ice cream was dipped in gold choco, with some dark choco drizzle. The apple in the pie was not that soft as I expected. It's a good try if you're not into chocolates and cakes. 

Red Velvet

I'm not a red velvet lover but I just wanted to try it. It's a slice of their red velvet cake with vanilla ice cream cut in half, drizzled in dark chocolate and the other half was dipped in dark chocolate. Also with some whip cream and red velvet cake shavings.

Cookie Dough Skillet

Two vanille ice cream bars on top of a pan of cookie. I actually don't know what kind of dip on the top bar. The cookie dough was too sweet for me though.

The restaurant also serves some dishes so you can just go here from appetizers to desserts. But it's a bit pricey.

So there you go. Go and experience Magnum Manila! We did. ;)
