Baguio's Fried Ice Cream
The City of Pines, Baguio City is the summer capital of the Philippines. I’ve never seen a residence and transient house with electric fans but water and/or water heater is a necessity because of their cold weather. In a hotel we stayed years ago when I was assigned for a certain project by known telecom company, it wasn’t airconditioned… no need because its too cold already.
Anyway, I’ve been looking for fried ice cream in Manila and never had luck of finding it in some of the shopping malls I know. Would you believe that there’s fried ice cream in Baguio? I never imagined that of all places I could found one in Baguio. My overwhelming happiness made me watch how it was made. The staff stirred the liquid cream and pour it into the stainless pan and she continuously stirring the liquid until it is frozen. If that so, how did they call it, “fried ice cream”?
The liquid or cream was “cooked” using dual temperature, hot and cold. I even requested the friendly staff if I can take a peak underneath the stainless pan. There are lots of hose there and a stainless tank. The kiosk can be found at SM City Baguio and the only branch they have. Price per cone is Php 12 only. Try it if you happen to pass by SM Baguio.
