PINOY-STYLE
ARTISAN ICE
CREAM
WHAT:
Sebastian’s
Sapin-Sapin
Ice Cream
WHY:
Can’t decide whether you want
some ice cream or some
sapin-sapin
?
Now you don’t have to. Sebastian’s,
a frontrunner in the local artisanal
ice cream scene, has rolled out a line
of Filipino flavors, with
sapin-sapin
(
a sweet, sticky, colorful
kakanin
or
delicacy made from rice) being their
top hit. The ice cream is delicious and
tastes exactly like the real thing. Curious?
It’s definitely worth checking out
along with other flavors such as
Green Mango Sorbet topped
with Sweet Bagoong and
Champorado Ice Cream.
