About the food:
Long ago, I used to frequent Starbucks and order a frappucino. Nowadays, I drink loose leaf teas daily for a healthier life. On certain occasions though, I still enjoy the sweet things of life. Starbucks Ice Cream is one of those sweet moments.
Their ice cream is one of the creamiest and most flavorful I've ever tasted. I've only tried their Mocha Frappucino flavor and it's heavenly.
The only thing you need to be careful about are the 20grams of sugar, as well as the sodium and cholesterol.
Moving on, another popular ice cream mainstream brand in the US is Breyer's (not to be mistaken with Dreyer's). Their ice cream is less creamy than Starbucks but still creamier than local ice cream.
The good thing about foreign ice cream brands is that their labels clearly show the nutritional values of their products.
Where to buy and how much:
These ice cream brands are available at Rustan's supermarkets for around PHP350 a pint (for Starbucks) and around PHP300+ for a Breyer's 1.5 quart.
Rating:
food presentation: N/A
ambiance: N/A
quality: GOOD
When it comes to creaminess and ingredients, both ice cream brands are of good quality.
serving: AVERAGE
For the same cost, you can already buy a gallon of ice cream from other local brands. Compared to more expensive brands though, these offer reasonable serving sizes.
Price: AVERAGE
They're not cheap but they're not as expensive as artisan ice creams.
Health: BELOW AVE.
Ice cream can be a source of calcium but so can fresh milk. Fresh milk can provide calcium at less cholesterol and lesser sugar content.
