I'm back for a quick post about a place I've been wanting to try out for the longest time...The Iscreamist!
While a lot of people are in Boracary celebrating LaBoracay, I was having a LaBoringDay here in Manila. Weh. Excuse my poor sense of humor. Haha! April's been a busy month for me (and my family), so we didn't have any solid plans for the summer. Plus, my sister's school year didn't end up until the third week of April.
So yesterday was pretty random. My sister & I went to my church ministry's sportsfest from morning til afternoon, then decided to head on where our feet will take us. Since we were already in Katipunan, we thought of finally trying out The Iscreamist!

The place was packed, as expected. The entire place could only accommodate 15 people, so we had to wait quite a bit to get a table. Turnover was actually quite fast since while you're channeling your inner child in amazement, people who are waiting for a table are watching you. It was awkward. Hahaha! We only stayed for about 15-20 minutes tops.
There were only a few choices on the menu. I decided to go for the Dragon's Breath, since that's what everyone's has been raving about.

Look at those cups! Notice how frozen they are! |
Our order was served on a slate, cups of liquid nitrogen in the middle then s'mores & macarons on sticks around it.
We were told to wait for seven seconds before we started dipping, and after that, we dipped away! All you have to do is get a s'more or macaron on a stick and dip it into the liquid nitrogen. A few seconds later, take it out of the cup, and tada! There it is frozen and covered in smoke! I'm already a 20-something year old but I have to admit that I found it amusing!
Taste-wise, the s'mores and macarons were just okay, but what made it really special was the whole experience of dipping it into a cup of liquid nitrogen. They also serve (some uniquely flavored) nitrogen ice cream for Php 150.00 per order, but we didn't try those out so I can't really say much about it yet.

"Panakot"/a word of caution from The Iscreamist--Hahaha! |
Overall, I recommend The Iscreamist if you want to try out something new, exciting and amusing. :) Things on the menu are affordable and unique. Again, I'd like to reiterate that place is very small and it's very likely that there'd be a queue.
