1. Carmen’s Best
Every pint is pure indulgence with Carmen’s Best. This homegrown brand uses milk sourced from their own farm to ensure quality in all their pints. Their flavours, which are influenced by Western factors, are a homage to the founder, Paco Magsaysay's, travels. Choose from their bestselling flavours like Hokey Pokey (vanilla-based ice cream with honeycomb candy), or keep your eyes peeled for their limited-edition creations.
Tatler Tip: Can’t get enough of Carmen's Best? Pop by their store at Power Plant Mall and try out their sundaes, too.
