ICE cream! It’s a comfort food that nobody gets to outgrow. Children love it, adults celebrate special occasions with it. Small wonder so many brands of ice cream, both local and foreign, have emerged in the market, offering not just the classic flavors of ice cream but also innovative, extremely creative flavors. Some of them incorporate cakes, cookies and desserts into the ice cream. Others make use of fresh fruits, nuts and other ingredients. Yet others have tried experimenting with herbs, spices and vegetables. Lighter versions, called gelatos, are also now available.
Ice cream is so popular and yummy that we simply cannot have enough of it.
Now comes another one, Baskin-Robbins, one of the world’s top ice cream brands, which recently opened its first Philippine store at the Upper Ground Floor of Central Square in Bonifacio Global City to serve Filipinos its well-loved ice cream flavors.
Baskin-Robbins offers 31 famous ice cream flavors, a wide range of custom ice cream cakes, frozen treats, shakes and other beverages, and ice cream sundaes. Ice cream lovers can simply have scoops served up on cones or in sundae cups, or order sundaes.
Expected to be certified hits are Maui Brownie Madness, Cotton Candy Ice Cream, Gold Medal Ribbon Ice Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Jamoca Almond Fudge Ice Cream, and Very Berry Strawberry, among others.
“We are privileged and honored to bring Baskin-Robbins to the Philippines and to partner with IceDream Inc. It took us many years to look for a partner who has the capability, vision, passion and drive and who strongly believes in the brand, and we saw that in this company,” says John Varghese, vice president for Dunkin’ Brands.
Varghese and other Baskin-Robbins international executives Marc DaSilva and Vico Lamar planed in for the launch to support its exclusive licensee in the Philippines, IceDream Inc. and to share the good news that the world-famous ice cream brand is set to open more shops across the Philippines in the months to come.
