While walking along the streets of Makati the other night, I passed-by Mini-Stop along Pasong Tamo to satisfy my usual craving for cheap soft serve ice cream.
The last one I had was when it was still the Hershey’s Chocolate sundae flavor (which is yummy by the way).
To my surprise, I saw an ube colored poster and asked details about it. It turned out that it’s a new flavor which just started last Dec 28 in all of their branches – it’s Ube Halaya Sundae!
However, it’s on a Limited offer basis and most probably would only last for a week or two. So hurry up!
It seems that Mini-Stop is just testing the market for the flavor. It may come back later on if it does well.
Ube Halaya or Halaya Ube is a rich dark lavender purple color of sweet yam-jams usually stored in bottles found in local grocery shelves. It is made from a variety of sweet potato called purple yam (ube)
It almost tastes like its real ice cream counterpart.
At P15 (USD 0.33), Mini-Stop‘s Ube Halaya Sundae is love. 🙂
Just have it in moderation though; powder-based soft serve ice-cream/sundae are not exactly healthy food. One Ube Halaya Sundae per day would do. 🙂 (kidding!) Nomnomnom….
