Ice Cream

I just finished a pint of Arce Green Tea ice cream. Yep, you heard me right, green tea. I can't really say that I like it. For one, the color is NEON green, it won't glow in the dark but it is so intense it could actually substitute for paint. It also leaves a weird and tart after-taste and the texture has the consistency of chalk and cream cheese. The strange thing is that it really does taste like green tea, like Starbuck's Tazo frappuccino or BreadTalk's green tea cake.

During the summer months in Bukidnon, our backyard would be full of squash and so my mom would make her own squash ice cream. Absolutely yummy, although a little coloring might help reduce the intensity of the piss-yellow color. We also had the usual ube (purple yam) ice cream, although our ubes violet color were not as deep as Baguio's.

For some reason, tiesa ice cream keeps popping up in my mind.
